Erik Karlsson And Mike Green Hug Amid The On-Ice Chaos
This was from Tuesday, but it's still as cute as it was two days ago. While Mikhail Grabovski and Zack Smith tried to rip each other's faces off during the Senators-Capitals game, Ottawa's Erik Karlsson and Washington's Mike Green shared a lovely moment. (Wait for the last replay.)...
Caps Fan Takes Puck To Face, Waits Until After OT To Get Stitches
Meet the face that launched a thousand fans-just-as-tough-as-the-players quips. Alicia Drummond took a puck to the face during yesterday's Flyers-Caps game and rather than get the medical attention she needed to sew up her head, she stuck it out and watched the rest of the game....
Alex Ovechkin Scores Four, Is Ridiculous

A Reminder To Always Wear Two Cups
At Capitals practice this morning, netminding duties fell to the team's video coach Brett Leonhardt, a former college goaltender. This is what happened. Try not to think about what nearly happened. [James Heuser]...
Steve Downie's Eye Is All Kinds Of Messed Up
You may recall Steve Downie getting pummeled when he and his Flyers teammates decided start a full line brawl against the Capitals last week. Steve Downie's left eye probably wishes that the Flyers had exercised a little more restraint that night....
GOALIE FIGHT!
The Capitals took a 7-0 dump on the Flyers, but some measure of revenge (Momentum? Enforcement? What's this bullshit supposed to be about again?) was gained with a full line brawl in the third period. The highlight was Ray Emery skating the length of the ice to fight Braden Holtby, who wanted none o...
Tom Wilson Loses His Skate Blade, Awkwardly Flops Back To The Bench
Watch Capitals rookie Tom Wilson run into Ryan McDonagh along the boards—or better yet, listen to it. You can hear the metallic ting of Wilson's skate blade coming off. What followed was Wilson's best impression of a beached porpoise. ...
This Photo Has Four Great Reaction Images
What is it about Caps-Rangers that brings out the best in the rinkside fans? While none of these quite match the unmitigated ecstasy of this kid, I'm still having a hard time picking my favorite of the four....
Alexander Ovechkin Would Prefer Not To Play Defense
This is Derek Stepan's goal from the third period of last night's Capitals-Rangers game, which put the Rangers up 4-2. It's an impressive play, but not nearly as impressive as Alexander Ovechkin's brief cameo....

Years From Now, Washington Capitals Fan Experiences Regret
I would imagine getting a tattoo on your actual knee cap hurts like a mother, so this Caps fan did something slightly less stupid. ...

You wish you were still capable of being as happy about anything as this young Caps fan was about Alex Ovechkin's power-play goal to tie the game....
Eric Fehr Used Some Kind Of Dark Wizardry To Score This Overtime Winner
I'm especially taken by the screengrab at the top of the Puck Daddy post on Eric Fehr's OT goal that gave the Capitals a 4-3 win over Boston last night, completing a comeback from 3-0. Fehr was all alone entering the Bruins zone, with two defenseman directly in front of him—Dougie Hamilton to his ...
"You Don't Have To Act Like A Baby": Mike Milbury Goes Off On Alex Ovechkin
It's all gone wrong for the Capitals, sitting firmly in last place in the East. (They do have a game in hand on the Islanders, which is a very sad parenthetical to write.) Fairly or not, much of the blame has fallen on Alexander Ovechkin, once a consensus Top-2 player in the world, now painted as ...
Washington Scores Freak Goal By Banking Puck Off The Boards
Here is Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson dumping the puck into the Penguins zone and using the boards to fake out Penguins goalie Tomas Vokoun four minutes into the second period. Carlson successfully got Vokoun to anticipate where the puck should have been and banked the puck into a wi...
Pat Sajak Somehow Ended Up On A Sidney Crosby Hockey Card
This O-Pee-Chee Crosby card, from the 11/12 set, was released last August. But apparently not until this weekend did someone notice that Pat Sajak is just chilling in the background—"someone" being Pat Himself....
The Capitals Are A Team Without A Coach Or A Plan
Dale Hunter will not return as coach of the Washington Capitals, it was announced just two days after the Caps lost a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. It's a shock to just about everyone but the Capitals. As GM George McPhee said, "It wasn't unexpected." ...
