After scoring a touchdown against the Buffalo Sabres and then beating the Calgary Flames 4-2 on what shall henceforth be known as Nationals Super Un-Sober Sunday, the Caps sit 1st place in the NHL with an 11-2-3 record & 25 points. We take a look at the Caps' juggernaut offense & at Jakub Vrana reaching star status, as well as taking a peek around the league with some notes on fellow Eastern Conference teams in particular.

The two Alexes - Ovechkin & Luey - once again team up for a special night in Toronto as the Caps down the Leafs in overtime powered by Ovechkin's 2 goals & 4 points. Future Norris trophy winner John Carlson also had another big night with 2 goals of his own, Ovi says the Leafs need to play differently & Mike Babcock agrees with him, and D.C. is the new #TitleTown.

The Caps are sitting pretty at 1st overall in the NHL after having won five of their last six games, and their most recent win made history as the Caps staged a seemingly impossible comeback in Vancouver. We also discuss Braden Holtby righting the ship, John Carlson's Norris-worthy start, and much more in this edition of Jenaya Talks Caps!

Recapping another up-and-down (but mostly up) week for the Caps, which saw them go 2-1-0 with wins over Dallas and Toronto. We also take a look at some massive improvements being made by the Caps when compared to last season, we tackle the goaltending "controversy", and is John Carlson Norris trophy-bound? Lots to unpack in this episode of Jenaya Talks Caps!

The Caps are off to a decent start, scoring 60% of available standings points through the first five games. They started off the season with back-to-back wins on the road, but then dropped back-to-back games in OT before losing a back-and-forth barn-burner to the Preds in Nashville. Ovechkin is scoring (as usual), Carlson is off to a roaring start offensively, and Kuznetsov made a triumphant return from a three-game suspension, scoring on his first shot of the season. But what the hell is up with the Caps & third period leads?

Following the completion of the 2019 Prospect Showcase and now halfway through main training camp for the big club, we take a deep dive into the prospect pool for the Caps. Who looks like a future NHLer? Who’s on the bubble and could either make an impact at the NHL level OR end up being a career minor-leaguer, depending on how their next couple of years of development goes? Who’s talented enough to help shape a franchise’s future? We answer all of these questions (and more) in today’s episode.

Hockey players are known for being one-of-a-kind specimens, in more ways than one --- and one of those ways is the lengths to which many of us players take our pre-game rituals & superstitions. So what are some of the most “out there” pre-game rituals & superstitions of some of your favourite players? Give this episode a listen to find out. Hint: The acronym “NHL” probably actually stands for “Nutty Hockey for Lunatics”.

We take a look at the Capitals’ current salary cap situation and the moves they could potentially make in order to become cap-compliant before the League’s deadline of October 2nd. We make an early lineup projection for opening night of the 2019-2020 season, as well as taking a REALLY early look ahead at how the moves the Caps make today could play a huge role in what the team looks like in the next - oh - eight or so years… *Cough* Backstrom *cough* Holtby *cough*.
