In this week's episode, we take a look at what's fuelling the Caps' NHL-best 17-3-1 record over the last month and a half, as well as breaking down just how dominant Alex Ovechkin really is (Hint: Very, very dominant). Then, we play 'Onside/Offside', answering your questions from around the league --- today's topics: the complete train wreck that is the Buffalo Sabres, and referee Tim Peel getting the axe from the league after a hot mic outs his not-so-good intentions toward the Nashville Predators.

Alex Ovechkin climbs to 6th all-time on the NHL goals list, the Caps see their 7-game win streak snapped ON MY BIRTHDAY!, people are being unnecessarily mean to Brenden Dillon, and, in this week's Onside/Offside segment:
-Sidney Crosby's never-ending whining
-Quinn Hughes & a complete lack of defense
-How long until the Rangers are contenders?

In today’s episode, we’re talking Caps’ domination in the city of brotherly love and an overall dominant run from the Caps over the last month (9-1-1 record), as well as milestones for Alex Ovechkin & Nicklas Backstrom, and then to close the show we have our new Onside/Offside segment where we take questions from listeners and try to determine if they’re Onside or Offside. Let’s Go Caps!

In today's episode, we serve up a good old-fashioned Positive Sandwich:

-And the bottom bun, beginning at 30:40, is our heartfelt congratulations to Nicklas Backstrom for having now dished out 700 tasty apples in his already legendary career.

Buckle up for a wild week that includes the NHL Entry Draft & the start of the free agency period. What might the Caps do? Are they going to hold onto their 1st Round pick? Are they going to make a trade? Plus, the latest on Brenden Dillon, and don’t be surprised if you see a familiar foe/future Hall of Famer wearing Capitals’ red next season.

It took 10 periods, but the Caps finally showed up to play for the last 40 minutes of Game 4 against the New York Islanders, earning a huge win to extend the series (and their season). Alex Ovechkin scored his 3rd & 4th goals of the series and Evgeny Kuznetsov stepped up as well with Nicklas Backstrom missing another game due to the NHL's concussion protocol.
The Caps will look to replicate their Game 4 effort in another must-win game on Thursday.
