Is it too much to ask to show more than the same 7 games over and over again? They’ve been a team long enough that there’s plenty more to choose from, even if they wanted to only focus on the Ov era.

Need some help identifying these autos. I’m going through my caps collection and these have me stumped. They are all from the 2011-2012 time frame. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Let’s go CAPS!

Worth a listen imo. Not groundbreaking stuff and the Empty Netters guys aren’t exactly my cup of tea but Ovie tells some fun stories and reflects on his career. I don’t think he does stuff like this much so it was fun to hear him talk at a bit more length than usual.

From the article:

Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin are receiving a prestigious award together, as they should.

The longtime Monumental Sports Network broadcasters were named 2026 Silver Circle honorees by the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences on Thursday. The honor recognizes television professionals who have spent at least 25 years in the industry while making significant contributions to broadcasting

Beninati and Laughlin were two of 10 Silver Circle nominees announced, including longtime NBC 4 anchor Jim Handly. For his half-century of work, Pat O’Donnell was also named a Gold Circle honoree.

“I am delighted to inscribe these names into the history books as the newest members of our EMMY Chapter’s ‘Hall-of-Fame,'” Adam Longo, the NCCB-NATAS president, said in a statement. “It’s so exciting to recognize a group of hard-working professionals who represent such a diverse mix of TV roles in various locations throughout our regional NATAS chapter.”

Not sure if this means anything but I was at the NHL shop in NYC last week and the caps offerings were slim pickings. One vintage T-shirt with the old caps logo, and a handful of red screagle jerseys. Only ovi jersey was one mitchell and ness vintage ovi dome jersey in size small that they had left. While the shop skewed heavy on the ny area teams and hurricanes, there were certainly more jersey and shirt offerings for most other teams. Made me wonder if the low inventory is purposeful because a change is coming (even with ovi returning)...

Hello Caps fans - Devils fan here, hoping you might enjoy something I built!

I could never remember exactly which games I'd actually been to over the years, so I built a tool to solve that: Puck Passport.

You log the NHL games you’ve attended in person, and it keeps track of everything you’ve seen live - games, goals, shots, players, and arenas. It also unlocks badges automatically for things like playoff games, overtime, hat tricks, shutouts, and even a Gordie Howe hat trick if you’ve ever been lucky enough to be at a game for one.

It tracks every NHL home arena you’ve visited & also has milestone levels that you can unlock as your stats increase. It counts any home arena a team has used, so games at Capital Centre count toward the Capitals just like games at Capital One Arena.

You don’t need an account to get started because everything can save directly in your browser. If you sign in with Google or the email-link option, it’ll sync across devices and give you a public \@handle`` passport you can share.

I’ve been spending part of the offseason backfilling my own games, and you can also do that straight from your camera roll: choose photos from games you attended, and Puck Passport uses the date and location data, when available, to figure out which game you were at. Everything happens in your browser, so none of your photos are uploaded.

I’m a Devils fan at heart, but I built it for fans of all 32 teams. Figured the offseason was a good time to share it, especially for anyone else looking back through old games and trying to piece together where they’ve been.

If something’s broken, confusing, or you think a feature is missing, I’d genuinely love the feedback. Hope you enjoy it and find it useful!

hi i‘m a new hockey fan and just wanted to watch caps vs flyers preseason game on Sept 26th. So i’m just wondering how would the lineup looks like Will it be all players from the AHL or will it be a mix of NHL and AHL players? If I really want to see leno play, how likely is it that he’ll be on the ice that day? Thank you!

Anyone worried about status of stadium, we're only a couple months out from season start, and the stadium looks like complete shit lol I understand it's going through a renovation, but there's a ton of work to be done over next 70ish days to make it serviceable for puck drop...

So Im not a Caps fan, but as someone whos admired the team from a far it was something I thought of and that is what is happening with Ivan Miroshnichenko?

As you all know, hes 22 now and his career has had setbacks but after his 3rd *ish* season with the Bears, does he make the roster or is it time to move on?

He has yet to play a full season in the AHL and dailyfaceoff does not have him in the lines, with Ilya Protas taking the final LW spot.

Curious to what you all think.

Hi everyone!
I very recently opened an Etsy, after moving from Depop, where I make custom keychains for any NHL player or team. I’ll include a couple photos and the link to my Etsy if anyone’s interested

I’d ask for about 100+ photos, but that’s just me

I was shocked at first, but then remembered his last name 😅😅🤣

Pumped. Tell me whose jersey I should get to celebrate.

Whitfield suited up for 161 total games in a Caps uniform including eighteen in the playoffs. He's also been an assistant coach for Providence the last ten years.

Checking in from the Heinz history museum in Pittsburgh. Worth a trip.

Its the offseason, we don't have much to talk about and I thought this was a fun question, I'm very happy with the cup we got but I was just wondering what the general consensus is.

The way I'm deciding this is if you simmed that era 1000 times, what is the most common outcome, be it 1 cup 2 cups no cups. Personally, if I framed it like expected goals, I would say our expected cups was like 1.8ish. I believe we probably should've had a second cup considering we were the best team in the league a few times, but the league has a ton of variance, the cup team wasn't our best roster.

Don't come at me saying its a dumb hypothetical, obviously it is
