[29-Feb-2016] #OviWatch #HoltBEASTWatch... etc.

Friday night against the Minnesota Wild, Caps goalie Braden Holtby won his 39th game of the season, as captain Alex Ovechkin scored his 40th goal. Both would advance no further after Sunday's loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on a controversial goal that probably should have been an icing call instead. 

#OviWatch

With 40 goals this season, Ovi joins Phil Esposito, Brett Hull, Bobby Hull, and Luc Robitaille as players who have had eight 40-goal seasons. The record is (of course) held by Wayne Gretzky, who reached the 40 goal plateau a dozen times.

Here's where he stands in the all-time scoring list:

33 - Brian Trottier - 524 G, 1279 GP
34 - Pat Verbeek - 522 G, 1424 GP
35 - Dale Hawerchuk - 518 G, 1188 GP 
36 - Alex Ovechkin - 515 G, 819 GP
37 - Pierre Turgeon - 515 G, 1294 GP
38 - Jeremy Roenick - 513 G, 1363 GP
39 - Gilbert Perreault - 512 G, 1191 GP
40 - Jean Béliveau - 507 G, 1125 GP
41 - Peter Bondra - 503 G, 1081 GP
42 - Joe Mullen - 502 G, 1062 GP
43 - Lanny McDonald - 500 G, 1111 GP
44 - Glenn Anderson - 498 G, 1129 GP

With 61 games played, 21 games remaining, Ovi can still hit the 50-goal mark, if he scores a goal every other game. 

#HoltBEASTWatch

With 39 wins so far, and 21 games left to play, Holtby inches closer to the mark set by Martin Brodeur for wins in a single season (48). He has nine wins to go to tie that mark, 10 to surpass it. 

(Note: Although Holtby reached the 39 win platform in 50 games, he has now played 51 games.)

08 - 1982-83: Pete Peeters (40W in 62GP) V* 
       1984-85: Pelle Lindbergh (40W in 65GP) V*
       1987-88: Grant Fuhr (40W in 75GP) V*
09 - 2015-16: Braden Holtby (39W in 50GP)

       1995-96: Chris Osgood (39W in 50GP) J* 
       1998-99: Martin Brodeur (39W in 70GP)

Let's hope the loss against the Chicago Blackhawks was a fluke - like that no-call icing, and a couple of other things the zebras missed (like the elbow to Marcus Johansson's head...?) and not a sign of things to come... The team looked better as a whole, and Holtby was doing very well until the whistle failed to sound. Then he got caught with his goalie pants around his ankles. Ick. Yeah, I'm going to figure it for a fluke and leave it at that.

#KuzyaWatchin'

One goal over the weekend; no primary assists for Evgeny Kuznetsov, who still leads the league in that category with 35.

 
 

[25-Feb-2016] Playing too casually costs the Caps...

The score last night for the game between the Caps and the Montreal Canadiens was closer than the game was. Our beloved boys in red failed to take the struggling Habs seriously, and it cost them. By their captain's own admission, they thought it would be an easy game, which goes to show you:

NOTHING IS EASY; IF IT WERE EASY, EVERYONE WOULD DO IT!

The 4-3 loss knocks the Caps down a peg before they get too cocky and forget how to play the game completely, so I'll accept it, so long as (like the rest of the season), losing two in a row doesn't become a trend.

Enough said; on to Friday.

This upcoming Friday night (tomorrow), the Caps will take on the Minnesota Wild for the second and final time. The first game, played on 2/11, was a 4-3 Caps victory. Let's hope they take the Wild seriously and go play their usual brand of hard, heavy hockey. 

#LetsGoCaps
 

[24-Feb-2016] Welcome, Mike Weber!

Yesterday evening, it was announced that the Caps had traded next year's third round pick to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for left-shooting defenseman Mike Weber. This move adds another big body to the defensive corps, and gives us some more flexibility leading up to the playoffs, where extra defensemen are always handy to have around. Since Weber is in California at the moment with the Sabres (who are slated to play the Anaheim Ducks tonight, while the Caps take on the Montreal Canadiens), he won't join the team immediately, but there's no word yet on when he will fly back out east to practice and play with his new teammates.

About the Caps and the Habs...

Montreal Canadiens 

• 12/3 3-2 Caps  
• 12/26 3-1 Caps  
• 2/24 final game scheduled 

We have a chance to close out the series tonight with a sweep... let's see what happens. The Habs are without defenseman Nathan Beaulieu (2G-15A-17P, 41 PIMs in 56 games played) due to injury.  

#BeagleWatch

It was recently announced that forward and faceoff wizard Jay Beagle, who has been sidelined by an upper body (hand) injury since Dec. 30th, has been practicing with the team in a non-contact jersey. We hope to see him suit up for real soon, and be well-rested and ready to start taking faceoffs very soon!

[23-Feb-2016] Caps fix Yotes; #OviWatch, #HoltBEASTWatch, and Richards Gets One!

Last night, our beloved Caps took on the Phoenix Coyotes and won, 3-2, in regulation. The goals came from Evgeni Kuznetsov (his 18th), Alex Ovechkin (his league-leading 39th), and Mike Richards (his first as a Cap, and first in over a year since being released from the Los Angeles Kings in a rather dickish move on their part, but we'll be happy to have him here!

Richards has been looking better and better over the last several games, and I can't wait to see what he'll do if he's put on a line with Jay Beagle, who is reportedly practicing with the team now, and should be ready to play soon. (Of course, as they are both centers, one would have to take the wing for this to work out, but anything's possible!)

Now for the climb:

#OviWatch

With his 39th goal of the season, Alex Ovechkin now has 514 goals in 816 games played. This puts him in sole possession of the #37 slot all-time. He's just surpassed Jeremy Roenick, and next up is Pierre Turgeon (515G in 1,294 games played.)

33 - Brian Trottier - 524 G, 1279 GP
34 - Pat Verbeek - 522 G, 1424 GP
35 - Dale Hawerchuk - 518 G, 1188 GP
36 - Pierre Turgeon - 515 G, 1294 GP
37 - Alex Ovechkin - 514 G, 816 GP
38 - Jeremy Roenick - 513 G, 1363 GP
39 - Gilbert Perreault - 512 G, 1191 GP
40 - Jean Béliveau - 507 G, 1125 GP
41 - Peter Bondra - 503 G, 1081 GP
42 - Joe Mullen - 502 G, 1062 GP
43 - Lanny McDonald - 500 G, 1111 GP
44 - Glenn Anderson - 498 G, 1129 GP

Born in 1969, Pierre Turgeon played for a number of NHL teams. His start came with the Buffalo Sabres, and he would go on to play for the New York Islanders, Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Dallas Stars, and Colorado Avalanche before retiring from the NHL in September, 2007. 

#HoltBEASTWatch

With his 38th win of the season (in 48 games played), Braden Holtby moves up a notch to #10 in the all-time goal-scoring leaders since the Washington Capitals first played in the NHL. He is the fastest in that time to reach the 38 win plateau. I won't repost the whole list here; it's pretty long... 10 more wins, and the HoltBEAST will catch Brodeur for the single season record of 48 wins. Here's where he is right now, with 24 games left on the schedule.



09 - 1995-96: Chris Osgood (39W in 50GP) J* 
       1998-99: Martin Brodeur (39W in 70GP)
10 - 2015-16: Braden Holtby (38W in 48GP)
       2010-11: Roberto Luongo (38W in 60GP) J*  
       1996-97: Patrick Roy (38W in 62GP) 
       1991-92: Tim Cheveldae (38W in 72GP) 
       1977-78: Donald Edwards (38W in 72GP)
       2003-04: Martin Brodeur (38W in 75GP) J* V*

#Roaring20s

The Caps have seven players not named Alex Ovechkin who have more than 10 goals on the season so far. Those players are:

• Justin Williams (19) - career best is 33 in 2006-07
• Evgeny Kuznetsov (18) - already his career best (11 last season)
• Nicklas Backstrom (17) - career best is 33 in 2009-10
• TJ Oshie (17) - career best is 21 in 2013-14
• Jason Chimera (16) - career best is 20 in 2011-12
• Marcus Johansson (14) - career best is 20 in 2014-15
• Andre Burakovsky (12) - already his career best (9 last season)

It is not inconceivable that many of these players will reach the 20 goal plateau in the 24 games left on the season. I believe we will see Oshie, Chimera, and possibly Johansson put up career numbers this year. 

#TeamWatch

How good are these Washington Capitals? At 44 wins in 58 games played, the Caps are already the 10th-best Washington Capitals team ever. They are the fastest team in NHL history to the 44 win plateau. The 2009-10 Caps, Presidents Trophy winners, had 54 wins in 82 games. This year's Caps have another 24 games to come up with 10 wins to  tie that record. 

All-time, this year's Capitals sit at #210. All-time. Everyone ahead of them has played a full season's worth of games. And they're #210 out of 1,022.

That #1,022 team? The 1974-75 Caps (8-67-5). 

I would love to see them take the #1 spot this year. The 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings had 62 wins in 82 games. The Caps are winning 3/4 of their games so far this season... If they keep it up?

44 + (24*.75) = 62. It's possible. 

#TradingSpaces

With the NHL trade deadline less than a week away, all eyes are on GM Brian MacLellan... will he trade something, or will he stand pat? Enquiring Minds want to know... (I am personally hoping he does nothing; we have a good balance now. Why mess with it?)

[22-Feb-2015] Caps v. Isles, Caps v. Devils, #OviWatch, #HoltBEASTWatch, and #KuzyaWatchin' FTW!

Last Thursday, the Caps visited the New York Islanders. Ovi had two goals, one from Kuzya and the other from Backstrom; the Caps would finish the game in overtime, on a Justin Williams goal with a final score of 3-2, for Braden Holtby's 36th win.

On Saturday night, the Caps came back home to face the New Jersey Devils. Another day, another goal, another Caps WIN, this time 4-3 in regulation time. The game would be the HoltBeast's 37th win of the season, bringing the Caps' record to an unbelievable 43-10-4 (90 points) and extending their lead over the Chicago Blackhawks (81 points) and Dallas Stars (80 points). The four goals came from Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, TJ Oshie, and Brooks Orpik, who scored his very first game-winning goal, ever, in his 798-game career. Go Brooksie! Orpik now has one more goal on the season than Brooks Laich (1).

#OviWatch
With three more goals to add to his total, Alex Ovechkin continues to lead the league, with 38 goals on the season, bringing his career total to 513 in 815 games played. This ties him with Jeremy Roenick - only Ovi did it in 479 fewer games played! One more goal will put him in sole possession of 37th all-time, two more ties him with Pierre Turgeon, and three more moves him up again.

33 - Brian Trottier - 524 G, 1279 GP
34 - Pat Verbeek - 522 G, 1424 GP
35 - Dale Hawerchuk - 518 G, 1188 GP
36 - Pierre Turgeon - 515 G, 1294 GP
37 - Alex Ovechkin - 513 G, 815 GP
38 - Jeremy Roenick - 513 G, 1363 GP
39 - Gilbert Perreault - 512 G, 1191 GP
40 - Jean Béliveau - 507 G, 1125 GP
41 - Peter Bondra - 503 G, 1081 GP
42 - Joe Mullen - 502 G, 1062 GP
43 - Lanny McDonald - 500 G, 1111 GP
44 - Glenn Anderson - 498 G, 1129 GP

#HoltBEASTWatch

This weekend's games take the HoltBEAST's win total to 37. More about this after the break!

[17-Feb-2016] Tomorrow: To the Island!

Last season, the Caps defeated the New York Islanders in 7 games in the first round of the playoffs to go on to face the much-detested Rangers. Tomorrow night, the Caps go back to the Island - this time, at Barclays Center rather than in the Isles' former hell hole home, for their third match-up of four this year.

So far, the Caps have won both previous outings:

New York Islanders - 1/7 4-1 Caps; 2/4 3-2 Caps; 2/18 and 4/5 yet to play

so we'll see what they can do tomorrow night. 

#OviWatch

Alex Ovechkin still has 35 goals on the season, 510 career. He's creeping up on Gilbert Perreault (512) and Jeremy Roenick (513)  on the all-time list.

35/53=.660
27*.66=17.8
35+17.8=52.8 - almost 53. 

53 goals will put Ovi with a total of 528 goals career, which will still put him at #33 ahead of Brian Trottier (524 career goals).

#HoltBEASTWatch

With Philipp Grubauer getting the start last night against Los Angeles, it's a fair bet that Braden Holtby will get the start against the Islanders. His 35 wins has him in first place for wins in the NHL, and he is starting in 82% of the Caps' games... so he'll start 67 games over an 82 game season at this rate.

35/45=.777
22*.777=17.094 wins 
35+17=52 wins, assuming he continues his pace... that will beat the record set by Martin Brodeur (48 wins in 2006-07). 

Let's hope he can keep it up! 

#KuzyaWatchin'

Evgeny Kuznetsov scored a goal last night; what we're really watching him for, though, is primary assists, of which he has 33 to date in 55 games played.

33/55=.6
27*.6=16.2 
33+16=49

The target we hope Kuzya can hit is Crosby's 51 primary assists in 77 games played in 2008-09; he's a little off the pace, but not by much!

[17-Feb-2016] #IceCheetah!

Jason Chimera, better known at IRTR as The Ice Cheetah (because he's very fast, even at 36 years of age), is having himself a career year. His personal best in goals, 20, came during the 82 games he played for the Caps in 2010-11. 

This season, Chimmer has 16 goals (his third best total) in 55 games played. That puts him on pace to basically shatter his 20-goal personal best in the next 27 games. Following his scoring pace out, he's on pace for 27-28 goals this year.

20/82=.244
16/55=.291

Go, Ice Cheetah!  GO!

[17-Feb-2016] Linein' 'em up, knockin' 'em down. Caps 3, Kings 1

Proving that a Cap may look at a King...!

Philipp Grubauer got the start in net last night to give Braden Holtby a night off to rest, and Grubi kept the team in the game early on while they got their feet and sticks under them.

There were no big feel-good stories last night; neither Justin Williams nor Mike Richards scored goals against their former teams. But Grubi's 39 saves on 40 shots were enough, when coupled with Andre Burakovsky's 12th goal of the season, Evgeny Kuznetsov's 16th goal, and Jason Chimera's 16th goal (an empty netter, but they still count!) The only time the Kings were able to dent Grubauer was a short-handed goal by Anze Kopitar, his 17th goal of the season. 

It's in the faceoff dot that the Caps really desperately need to get Jay Beagle back from his hand/wrist injury. The Caps won only 43% of their faceoffs, and did nothing with five power play chances against the Kings. Although the Caps have recently gotten a pair of power play goals, their snakebitten nature returned against the Kings... in spades, as Kopitar scored shorthanded. Ugh.

Dmitry Orlov's pass to Andre Burakovsky's tape, however, was aboslutely a thing of beauty, and put the Caps on the board late in the 2nd frame.

Kuzya's sneaky goal late in the third period to break the deadlock, catching Jonathan Quick pinned to the far post with a King in between him and the gaping maw of empty net that Kuznetsov was easily able to slip the puck into, off a nifty little feed from Justin Williams behind the Kings' net, and the Ice Cheetah was easily able to speed into the zone and throw the puck into the empty net from the half-wall with less than 10 seconds remaining to finish the game. Brooks Orpik's return also brought an assist, and it looks like the ex-Penguin is back with a bit of a vengeance, and a spring in his step.

Welcome back, Brooks Orpik! We've missed you!

[16-Feb-2016] On Season Series and the Caps' Record

As of today, there are two teams in the NHL that have won their season series against the Caps. Those teams are the Dallas Stars (sweep), and the Florida Panthers (2 games to 1).

[16-Feb-2016] #KuzyaWatchin'

Stick tap to RMNB!

Evgeny Kuznetsov has 33 primary assists this season, three shy of the single-season record since the 2012-13 season. Three. He has a good chance, with the 28 games the Caps have left to play, of shattering that record. 

The all-time record for primary assists in a season ... no clue. 

Here's what I have dug up (stick tap to Stats.HockeyAnalysis.com):

2007-08: Pavel Datsyuk (44 in 82 GP)
2008-09: Sid Crosby (51 in 77 GP)
2009-10: Henrik Sedin (46 in 82 GP)
2010-11: Martin St. Louis (46 in 82 GP)
2011-12: Evgeni Malkin (46 in 75 GP)
2012-13: Sid Crosby (29 in 36 GP - season shortened by lockout)
2013-14: Joe Thornton (36 in 82 GP)
2014-15: Daniel Sedin (35 in 82 GP)
2015-16: Evgeny Kuznetsov (33 in 54 GP)

The target is Crosby's 2008-09 51 primary assists in 77 games played. Let's keep an eye on Kuzya... why? #KuzyaCAN!

 
Here's the counter board for Kuzya's big apples!

#LetsGoCaps!

[16-Feb-2016] #OviWatch

#OviWatch

Over the weekend, Alex Ovechkin scored yet another goal, adding to his total. It wasn't enough to help Braden Holtby out of the hole the rest of the team dug for him, though, and the Caps would lose their second game of two to the Dallas Stars, making Dallas the sole team in the NHL (to date) that the Caps have faced, and not beaten at least once.

The Caps have seen the San Jose Sharks once and lost to them; the second game comes on March 12th. We have yet to face:

• Anaheim Ducks (1st game postponed - 3/7 and 4/10) 
• Arizona Coyotes (2/22 and 4/2) 
• Los Angeles Kings (tonight and 3/9) 
• St. Louis Blues (3/26 and 4/9)

The Caps' first game against the Wild (last Tuesday 2/11) was a 3-2 win, and we face them again on 2/26.

Ovi's 35th goal of the season brings his career total to 510. He needs two more to tie Gilbert Perreault's total of 512, three more to break that line, and four to put himself ahead of Jeremy Roenick (513). Ovi has a chance to add to his goal total tonight when the Caps face the Los Angeles Kings.

Tonight will mark the first time this season that the Caps have faced Los Angeles. Their second meeting, in LA, will come on March 9th. The Kings currently sit at a record of 33-19-3, which puts them in 7th place in the League.

Ovi has scored a career 11 points in 11 games against Los Angeles - 5 goals, and 6 assists. He will look to add to that total tonight.

#BackWatch

According to the game notes, Nicklas Backstrom needs one more goal to pass Kelly Miller at #12 on the Caps' all-time goal-scoring list.

#HoltBEASTWatch

Tonight, Braden Holtby has the chance to add another win to his win total, currently a league-leading 35. He was pulled last game against the Kings, and Holtby really hates that, so hopefully he'll play lights out hockey tonight - and so will everyone else! Come on, boys - no more five-on-three for the bad guys, OK? If the Caps can stay out of the !#$&@*(!)#@ BOX, we should be OK tonight...

Of course, now with other stress, my head's pounding and I'm in a nasty mood... the Caps better win tonight. They had just better!

 

[12-FEB-2016] Just how good are those Caps?

Mike Vogel (@VogsCaps) posted on Twitter today:

#Caps have same number of wins (40) after 53 games as they had for entire season in '97-98 when they made lone Cup final trip (40-30-12).

 

[12-FEB-2015] #HoltBEASTWatch - Yes, he can be the next Brodeur!

Yesterday, NovaCapsFans published an article titled "Could Braden Holtby be the next Marty Brodeur?" - and I say, yes. Yes indeed, he can. Let's see how they stack up. We'll look at the records Brodeur owns outright first.

Brodeur

• Most wins one season: Martin Brodeur - 48 (2006–07) 
• Most wins regular season career: Martin Brodeur, 691
• Most wins career, including playoffs: Martin Brodeur - 804
• Most shutouts regular season career: Martin Brodeur - 125
• Most shutouts playoffs career: Martin Brodeur - 24
• Most shutouts, including playoffs career: Martin Brodeur - 149
• Most shutouts, one playoff season: Martin Brodeur - 7 (2002–03)
• Most games appeared in career regular season: Martin Brodeur - 1,265
• Most games appeared in career, including playoffs Martin Brodeur - 1,470
• Most minutes played career: Martin Brodeur - 74,380
• Most minutes played one season: Martin Brodeur 4,697 (2006–07)
• Most 20-or-more win seasons: Martin Brodeur - 16
• Most 30-or-more win seasons: Martin Brodeur -14
• Most consecutive 30-or-more win seasons: Martin Brodeur - 12
• Most 40-or-more win seasons: Martin Brodeur - 8

• Youngest to win 300 games (RS): Martin Brodeur - 29 yrs., 7 mos.
• Youngest to win 400 games (RS): Martin Brodeur - 31 yrs., 10 mos.
• Youngest to win 500 games (RS): Martin Brodeur - 35 yrs., 6 mos.
• Youngest to win 600 games (RS): Martin Brodeur - 37 yrs., 11 mos.

Marty Brodeur played his first game for the New Jersey Devils in 1991-92. He would go on to appear in four games that season, starting in none of them, but posting a 2-1 record.
