The NHL on Wednesday morning announced a partnership with clothing company Tailored Brands. Starting on Ocotober 2, fans will be able to purchase suits, sport coats, formal jackets, and vests and have them lined with prints representing their favorite NHL team.

Monday night, the Washington Capitals played in their first potential elimination game of the 2018 postseason. And they delivered one of their best performances of the year.
Braden Holtby stopped 24 shots in the Capitals’ suffocating 3-0 win. The shutout was Holtby’s first of the season.
The Holtbeast was cool, calm, and collected throughout the entire night, and after I reviewed some tweets on social media, I think I know his secret.
NHL.com has a great story of what Caps defenseman John Carlson will be wearing to the NHL Stadium Series game on Saturday.
Carlson teamed up with talented designer Tom Barnett for a custom-tailored navy and gold outfit. The outfit features several nods to Navy football.

I have some good news to deliver. Caps stars Braden Holtby and Nicklas Backstrom are featured in the latest issue of DC Modern Magazine to promote their new partnerships with So Kids Can. They are wearing very fancy suits.
The two-page spread features both players posing for photos at The Bartlett, a new luxury apartment building in Pentagon City. However, I need to point you to Braden Holtby’s head, where he is sporting an even fancier fedora.
This is tremendous.

With Alex Ovechkin sitting out due to injury, Ovi’s Russian BFF Evgeny Kuznetsov was named to his first NHL All-Star Game. And judging by Kuzy’s suit for media day, the Chelyabinsk native has brought it to Nashville.
And by it, I mean style and class. Kuznetsov wore a desaturated plaid jacket with matching suit pants to the podium. Kuznetsov does not look like a hockey player. No, no.

Whenever we post photos of Caps in suits, one of two things happen: A) We get teh pageviews or B) A photoshop contest breaks out.
Therefore, and because you demand it, here’s a photo of Tom Wilson wearing a fancy blue suit.
CSN Washington’s Joe Beninati has won a swimming pool filled with Emmy statuettes for his unmatched calling of Caps games over the years. And you’re certainly well aware that he is a finely dressed man (we’ve documented every suit he’s worn over the last five years). And yes, we once had him dress our own Chris Gordon.
Our adulation of Beninati’s style has been loud and proud, but Hollywood has been slower to notice. No longer.
Earlier this week, E! Fashion Police star Giuliana Rancic (a Whitman High and American University graduate) called Joe B the best dressed play-by-play man in the NHL.
The Washingtonian published an interesting feature on Mike Green and Braden Holtby on Monday. You’re gonna wanna click and read it right now. It focuses on the personal lives, friendship, and style of the two Capitals.
“Fashion was one of the things that sort of brought [Mike Green and me] together, believe it or not,” Holtby said to Valeria Boucas.

RMNB reader Angela M. (who is from our hometown of Frederick, Maryland) is doing something great. As part of her bucket list, she’s seeing a Washington Capitals game in every NHL arena. Tonight, she will be taking in a game from Calgary’s Saddledome, the 22nd venue in which she’s seen the Caps play.
Angela got a special treat before puck drop too. As she was making her way to the Saddledome, she ran into Caps rookies Andre Burakovsky and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Sadly, Kuznetsov was not in his cowboy gear. Angela asked them for a picture, saying “it’s for RMNB.” They laughed and obliged.
Whether we like it or not, we carry profound memories of last season. We’ll be taking a few opportunities to revisit the Capitals’ 2010-2011 campaign soon, but we thought we’d start with the most important matter of all: Joe Beninati’s suits.
We at Russian Machine Never Breaks are the Ken Burnses of Joe B. fashion. We’ve been documenting every green blazer, every ostentatious houndstooth and argyle combo, and every– let’s be honest– pimp suit. The esteemed Beninati was your guide through a spastic season, and now we return the favor. Here are (awful cell phone) photos of Joe’s suits from every telecast this season– with links to our gamers.
So let’s take a stroll down memory lane with the sharply dressed, silver-tongued man himself.
