[sinfulvixen122790]

Can we all get on the same page on this equality thing now? I had my doubts about Robin Lehner and I am glad to be corrected on him. I wished more white players would take the time to actually be about it like a Jason Dickinson,a Tyler Seguin a Robin Lehner, or even a Braden Holtby and follow up with actions not just meaningless chatter. As a Pens fan seeing what Seguin,Lehner,and Dickinson makes me look at Sidney Crosby less and it’s hard because I love that man but if you’re “still learning” about racism at 32 years old why are you even bothering at this point? I look at his good friend,Nate McKinnon differently as well because Mac dated a black woman in Vanessa Morgan and claims to be all about “us” but it’s Nazim Kadri who is talking.Another POC not Mac. Like I said I love the Pens but I don’t want them winning this year because it would make me more happier to see Ryan Reaves and Zack Whitecloud, 2 players of color on Vegas win than the same white bread team of Pittsburgh.And having PoJo doesn’t count because he isn’t playing for the Pens right now.

This Week in Caps: Week 13

Welcome to This Week in Caps, a weekly newsletter where I recap everything important that’s been going on in the world of the Washington Capitals this past week.

This Week’s Games

12/27/18 vs Carolina Hurricanes, W 3-1

The Caps came back for their first game after the holiday break with a divisional home matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes. Tyler Lewington was officially recalled from his paper transaction (and would sit the bench), and everyone else was back from vacation and ready to get back into hockey.

The game got off to a rather slow start, and as a result it was a rather boring first period. The Caps got a power play 1:50 into the game, and the Canes had a total of three power plays in the period, but no goals came of it, and nothing happened in the first.

The action really got started in the second. About three minutes into the front, the Canes lost control of the puck right in front of their own net and it slid right to Chandler Stephenson, who fired it home for a 1-0 Caps lead. A few minutes later, the Canes got themselves into a sticky situation. Rookie Andrei Svechnikov took a penalty, which the Canes killed off, but as he was exiting the box the puck went right past his feet and he played the puck from inside the penalty box, which is a no-no, and he went right back to the box for another penalty. Nothing came of either power play, but an oddity that’s not seen too often. However, the Canes got themselves in trouble with just a few minutes left in the period when they took another penalty, and that time it hurt them. John Carlson’s power play shot deflected off the stick of T.J. Oshie, who scored to give the Caps a 2-0 lead with less than two minutes left in the second.

Scary moment about halfway through the third period — Matt Niskanen got into a collision with Justin Williams and Clark Bishop, and they slid into the boards and Niskanen hit his head/neck/chest area and was down, and it did not look good. However, he was eventually able to get up and leave under his own power. He did not return for the rest of the game.

The Canes did get themselves back in the game — just a few minutes after the injury, Micheal Ferland got loose on a breakaway, which Braden Holtby saved, but Sebastian Aho buried the rebound to make it 3-1. The Canes came furiously for the rest of the period, even getting a late power play, but they did not score, and Carlson scored a late empty-netter to seal the 3-1 win for the Caps. The Caps had the shots advantage 33-29 and the faceoff advantage at 55.0%. The Caps converted on 1/4 of their power play chances, and the Hurricanes converted on 0/4 of theirs. Holtby saved 28/29 shots.

Both teams looked a little sleepy coming off their holiday breaks, but the Caps did good to outshoot the team with the most shots per game in the league. Hopefully Niskanen will have a speedy recovery, and the Caps defense will need to step up in his absence.

12/29/18 @ Ottawa Senators, W 3-2

The Caps returned to Ottawa for the second time in a week to take on the Senators yet again. There was a shuffling of defense to account for the absence of an injured Matt Niskanen — Madison Bowey was bumped up to the second pairing with Dmitry Orlov, and Tyler Lewington was slotted into the lineup paired with Jonas Siegenthaler, playing his second NHL game in the same building he made his NHL debut. Pheonix Copley would again get the start in the same building he recorded his first NHL shutout.

Seven minutes into the first period, Evgeny Kuznetsov drove into the zone and passed the puck to Tom Wilson in front, who tapped it in for a 1-0 Caps lead. Lewington got the secondary assist on the play, giving him his first NHL point. Later in the period, he followed it up with something better. Nicklas Backstrom gave him a drop pass and he cut up the middle and fired it into the back of the net, scoring his first NHL goal and making it 2-0 Caps.

The night of firsts would continue early in the second period. Just a minute into the frame, Bowey fired the puck from the point and finally, finally scored his first NHL goal. 3-0 Caps. Then things started to go off the rails just a tiny bit for the Caps. Three minutes later, Colin White stuffed the puck under Copley’s pads to get Ottawa on the board, 3-1. Seconds later, Bowey got into a scrap with Brady Tkachuk, and they both went off with a multitude of penalty minutes and no power play on either side. Then with just four minutes left in the period, Lewington and Zack Smith dropped the gloves and got into a hefty tussle, giving Lewington a Gordie Howe hat trick in his second NHL game.

The Senators controlled most of the third period play, and they cashed in for another goal late in the frame, with Mark Stone on the quick trigger in the slot, making it 3-2. But the Caps held strong and didn’t let anything else pass, and they would win by that score.

The Caps were outshot 33-24 and had the faceoff disadvantage at 42.9%. They did not have any power play chances, and the Senators went 0/1 on their one chance. Copley saved 31/33 shots.

In a night the defense had to step up, they went above and beyond with a night full of firsts. They had a Gordie Howe hat trick, which hasn’t been done by a Cap since 2011, and not by a Caps defenseman since 1991. In fact, there was actually a chance for three different Caps to get the Gordie Howe. Bowey was an assist shy, and Wilson was a fight shy.

Current record: 24-10-3

What’s Going on in the World of the Caps

Ovi Named Metropolitan Division Captain

On December 27 it was announced that Alex Ovechkin had won the fan vote and was named Captain of the Metropolitan Division for the 2019 All-Star Game in San Jose. This is Ovechkin’s 10th all-star nomination (and 8th appearance), and his second consecutive year captaining the division. The remaining divisions will be captained by Auston Matthews (Atlantic), Nathan MacKinnon (Central), and Connor McDavid (Pacific); Ovechkin is at least ten years older than every single one of them, making him the old horse of the group. Ovechkin was humbled by the honor. (x)

Niskanen’s Scary Injury

During the third period on December 27 against the Hurricanes, Matt Niskanen was involved in a collision with Justin Williams and Clark Bishop, and he ended up crashing face-first into the boards. It was a scary collision, though he was eventually able to get up and leave under his own power. He did not return to the game, and was afterward declared day-to-day. He traveled with the team to Ottawa, but did not play in the next game. He is still day-to-day at this point, and will likely not play on Monday. (x)

Caps Prospects at World Juniors

There are three Capitals prospects participating in this year’s World Junior Championship, which started December 26 and will run until January 5. Alexander Alexeyev, for Russia, Martin Fehervary, for Slovakia, and Tobias Geisser, for Switzerland. All are defensemen, and Fehervary is captain of his respective team. (x)

First NHL Goals

It was a night of firsts in Ottawa — both Madison Bowey and Tyler Lewington scored their first career NHL goals in the same game. For Lewington, it was only his second career game. For Bowey, it has been a long, long time coming, and it was evident in the ensuing goal hug.This marked the first time in Caps franchise history and the 19th time in NHL history that two defensemen from same team score their first NHL goals in same game. Alex Ovechkin made sure to grab the puck for Lewington, Kuzy grabbed Bowey’s puck, and Tom Wilson made sure to properly prank the both of them. (x, x)

Player of the Week

It took 78 games, 74 shots, and 441 days, but after all that waiting, Madison Bowey finally scored his first NHL goal on December 29 in Ottawa.. But I didn’t pick him just because I’m proud of him, he has been playing very well. He also scrapped in a fight that game, getting two-thirds of the way to a Gordie Howe hat trick, doing it all while being newly promoted to the second pairing. Bowey has looked very good recently, and he’s stepped up excellently in the absence of Brooks Orpik and Christian Djoos (and recently Matt Niskanen).

Social Media Post of the Week

Tom Wilson resumed his role as prankster and gave the customary stuff-to-the-face after scoring a first NHL goal — in this video, he delivers both a shake to the hat of Madison Bowey, and shaving scream to the face of Tyler Lewington.

Ranger kids 2

@spxritguardixns 

Levi x Kira: Braden Dane Romero, a combination of his father’s real name and uncle’s name, and of course middle name after his grandfather

@backinblackranger

Zack x Billie: At least one set of twins-Ali Marie Taylor for a girl (Zack wanted to name someone after him and Billie likes the name Marie. Zack likes the way the name rhymes) and Jason Zackary “J Z” Taylor for a boy. Zack only let Jason’s name go first so he could call his son JZ.

Also @demonsamongheroes I’d be down for kids with Drakkon with Billie AND AU Kim, but I don’t know if the poor guy would know what to do (hi btw :) )
