Eric Fehr finds his way through, we swear.
There haven't been a lot of highlights for the Washington Capitals this season. If things don't turn around, Tuesday night's game against the Boston Bruins will at least make fans smile when they remember this season before quickly moving on to the...
Max Pacioretty and Shawn Matthias go head-to-head.
No. 1 Star: Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens
It was a goaltender's duel in the Sunshine State, and Price came out on top, stopping all 26 shots he faced in a 1-0 overtime win over the Florida Panthers. The lone goal came courtesy of Rene...

The Y! software tends to confuse Tim Thomas the NHL player with the one from the NBA (I'll...
WASHINGTON, DC – Troy Brouwer counted three players on the Washington Capitals bench that “showed up” in 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens at home on Thursday.
Everyone else, he said, was making mistakes “that pee-wee teams” make.
“Embarrassing is almost the right term right now. Pathetic...
WASHINGTON, DC — He has tremendous upside. He's well-prepared, and rarely makes a mental mistake on the ice. He's known as a dynamic offensive player, but his defense is just as stellar. His hockey IQ is off the charts.
Washington Capitals GM George McPhee was describing a hell of a hockey...
Hello, this is a feature that will run through the entire season and aims to recap the weekend's events and boils those events down to one admittedly superficial fact or stupid opinion about each team. Feel free to complain about it.
There's been a lot of talk about what this season has meant...
As the final buzzer sounded during the New York Rangers' 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals to advance to the Eastern Conference Final against the New Jersey Devils, the similarities to their Stanley Cup run in 1994 continued to grow.
In 1994, the Rangers finished atop the Eastern Conference...
Oh my god the contrast in their facial expressions...
No. 1 Star: Brad Richards, New York Rangers
Richards scored the first goal in Game 7 versus the Washington Capitals just 1:32 after the opening puck drop, a one-timer from the right circle on a feed from Carl Hagelin.
It was the...
It wasn't so much what Alex Ovechkin said after the Washington Capitals' Game 7 loss to the New York Rangers, but what he was wearing: His full uniform, in his dressing room stall, answering questions about the end of their improbable playoff run. When the reporters hit the room, Ovechkin nearly...
The top-seeded New York Rangers and the No. 7 seed Washington Capitals meet on Saturday night at MSG in another one-goal game.
OK, that's just an assumption about Game 7, but when 10 of the Rangers' 13 postseason games and 12 of the Capitals' 13 playoff games were all decided by a single goal...
WASHINGTON, DC — The four-minute power play giveth, and the four-minute power play taketh away.
The New York Rangers had a chance to eliminate the Washington Capitals in D.C. on Wednesday night because Joel Ward drew blood from Carl Hagelin for a high-sticking double-minor late in Game 5; Brad...
No. 1 Star: Braden Holtby, Washington Capitals
Behind Holtby's 31 saves, the Capitals were able to stave off elimination with a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers and force Game 7 on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The 22-year old improved to 6-0 in the playoffs coming off a defeat...
After this series, Holtby might welcome the change of pace. Scoring comes easy at prom.
No. 1 Star: Pekka Rinne, Nashville Predators
After surrendering 9 goals over the 2 games in Phoenix, the Predators' tightened up defensively and Rinne tightened up behind them, posting a shutout in a big...
When a Stanley Cup Playoff game goes to triple overtime, there are inevitably missed opportunities that will haunt its participants. Before Marian Gaborik's game-winning goal at 16:12 of the third OT gave the New York Rangers the Game 3 victory against the Washington Capitals, both teams had...
WASHINGTON, DC - Last season with the Minnesota Wild, Eric Nystrom scored just four goals in 82 games, which is one reason he's no longer with the Minnesota Wild. After clearing re-entry waivers last month, Nystrom was traded to the Dallas Stars.*
After nine games in Dallas, Nystrom has...
I am going to say Ovechkin has a 20-25 goal season and that is where his production will be for the rest of his career.
The Capitals will either miss the playoffs this year or have to fight tooth and nail to get in.
What do you guys think?
To Washington:
Luke Schenn
Juraj Mikus
To Toronto:
Alexander Semin
Washington gets much needed help on Defense and they get a-lot of cap room which they need if they want to sign Varlamov next season.
Toronto gets a top 3 winger in Semin and much needed offense.
