The Capitals were established in DC in 1974. FYI.

Fam you’re reaching with this. If The Nationals won The World Series would that be any different? If The Washington Football Team (name withheld intentionally) actually got it’s shit together enough to actually win a Super Bowl would that make any person of color feel better? Shit NY is the most diverse city in the…

The gif trailing only Wilson makes it look so much worse than it was. He was definitely a hair late but there’s no way he should be suspended.

Also, I just get annoyed when I hear about, “If it was a regular season game, that would’ve been called,” bullshit. That hit and the cross check were so fucking obvious they should’ve called them. One knocked out a player for a couple plays, and the other directly resulted in the goal.

I wasn’t even sure they had whistles except for offsides, goalie freezes, and icings. They let a ton of shit go... the goal that the Knights scored after cross checking the defense man; the slash and cross check to Oshie in front of the net while the Caps were on the PP; the extra whacks on the goalie, way after the…

You have to be kidding me. You think that should be a major and a game? I’m a Caps fan and I’m not a fan of him making that play because it’s unnecessary. But good grief, a major and a game is possibly the dumbest take you could have here, it’s almost as if you’ve never watched a professional hockey game before.

The trailing ref had a clear view of it, you can see him at 1:50 in the video. He was just above the blue line. To be fair, the refs had swallowed their whistles early and let them play. Curious to see how game 2 is called.

It wasn’t just a ruling on the ice. The 2-minute minor was assessed after the officials reviewed the play for a couple of minutes. They determined it was a 2-minute minor. No launching, no contact to the head, Marchessault wasn’t seriously hurt and returned to the game, a game with lots of hits on both sides, and…

I’m a Caps fan and I am sick of Wilson’s bullshit. The majority of my ire during last night’s game was directed at Wilson for doing this shit AGAIN. I can deal with losing, that shit happens. But it’s harder to root for a team that has someone like Wilson who is actively looking to hurt people. Somebody from this team…

That was a quick moving play and borderline hit at worst. It’s solid shoulder to shoulder and if you’re going to move the puck in the neutral zone you need to be ready for that hit. General rule of thumb when you’re learning to hit is pull up if its going to be from behind or in that weird 4-6' from the boards, but…

I’ll take a 2-1 game as long as there are good chances. If the goalies are great and scoring is down, it’s really exciting and different from a slog where the teams are just turning it over in the neutral zone. I like high scoring games too as long as the goalies aren’t giving up weak goals. What I’m really saying is…

While watching the opening ceremonies from Vegas I was wondering when they’d just give up the pretense and start playing Spinal Tap’s Stonehenge.

Entertaining hockey is not the same as good hockey. I would prefer to watch two top teams executing well. What we got was a video game.
