The first regular season game in the history of the Washington Capitals was against the New York Rangers. Despite being the clearly inferior team, the Caps somehow pulled into a 3-3 tie at one point -- after which the Rangers asserted themselves and won 6-3.
Think of this game as a reprise, in revers, of the first game in franchise history. A fitting reprise in the 50th anniversary season.

Second place, tied with Carolina!

This has been my thought all season...didn't want to speak it out loud though. Keep waiting on one of them to steal the job...okay TBH, been waiting on Thompson to take it, but he's been not great at times also.
Gonna bite us in the ass when we come back to reality and stop scoring 4+ goals every night.
Canes are gonna test us - they are pretty stingy on goals allowed

McMichael and Protus have both been outstanding this year so far. Not just the goals and points, but their overall play. They are night and day different players than they were last year.

They didn't draw flies back then, either. The first ever home game drew 8,093 fans. I was there.

They have Vrana's goal listed as Unassisted :huh:
Sgarbossa clearly passed the puck from behind the net to the slot....don't care if it hit a dman along the way, that should be an assist

If I remember correctly, the NHL has 24 or 48 hours to correct the official score. But if it hasn’t changed by now I doubt it will.

I agree. Both have been a little too leaky for me. Both have also had some amazing stints under pressure.
However I'm okay with them splitting games untill one of them proves themselves. It's a little too early to tell for me as yet.

I expect this is just administrative so they can make room for Iorio on roster. Carbs said yesterday Chychrun was day to day and Roy was very close but likely not ready for Columbus game. They can make it retroactive, so he cant play for 7 days from the injury so he could be reactivated for Wednesday vs Nashville
