Banner raising bust up: numbers for the morning after

It’s that time of year again, folks. Hockey season is upon us once more and with that comes your obvious favorite series of posts, numbers for the morning after. Join me on yet another 82-game journey of numbers both large and small, complicated and elementary, maybe even sometimes fun. One thing I can promise is that they will always go well with your morning caffeinated drink of choice.

Your Washington Capitals opened the 2019-20 NHL season with a tasty 3-2 overtime victory over the defending Cup champion St. Louis Blues. They out-shot the Blues 34 to 22 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 40 to 28.

Caps kick off season with 3-2 overtime win over Cup champ Blues

Hey, everyone! Welcome back. Wednesday’s season opener in St Louis also marks the start of RMNB’s 10th year. Let’s get silly.

The Washington Capitals kicked off 2019-20 limply… for about 15 minutes. Clawing back from a two-goal deficit, the Caps served the reigning champion St Louis Blues some darn good hockey on their way to Jakub Vrana’s big overtime winner.

The Caps looked adrift in the first period, allowing Sammy Blais to score an early goal and Alex Pietrangelo to add another on the power play. Alex Ovechkin responded with his first goal of the season, and then Dmitry Orlov added a beautiful power-play goal in the second period. A tense third period gave us no decision, so our first game of the year got supersized, where Jakub Vrana won it in overtime.

Caps win!

While teams sell jerseys with Stanley cup champion patches, no team has worn a Stanley Cup-esque patch on a jersey during a banner raising ceremony. The Blues’ white patch was immediately noticeable on their bright blue jerseys.

Caps at Blues pregame: Are you ready for it?

I am so proud of all of us for making it here today. It’s the first game of the regular season and the Capitals are in St. Louis to battle the recent Stanley Cup Champions. I think it’s incredibly flattering that the Blues wanted to play us for their first game back (I know that’s not how it works, but I’m going with it).

The puck will be dropping around 8 PM. You can catch all the action on NBCSN and Peter Hassett will meet you back here after the game for a recap. It’s a thrill to be back. Let’s go Caps.
