Locked On Capitals - Daily Podcast On The Washington Capitals

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan

Is joined by Michael Marzzacco of Stars and Sticks as we talk about the state of the Washington Capitals. It's hard to accurately gauge this team considering the myriad of injuries on this team. The Capitals won big on Sunday and then lost big to the same team the Tampa Bay Lightning. What changed.

Then later in the show we talk Sonny Milano and his promotion to the top line. Will this help spark the offense?

In the show we also talk about the noticeable absence of Tom Wilson in the lineup. This current roster is lacking an enforcer and a tough guy. Who will take on this role in his absence?

To close out the show we talk about the standout performance of this year's netminding tandem of Kuemper and Lindgren. The Capitals have had tough luck in the win column, but they have kept the Caps "in the game"

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the game Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers. It was another game where the Capitals didn't play a complete game and failed to take advantage of their opportunities on the PP. The game saw goals by Dylan Strome and John Carlson. Despite the poor play goaltender Darcy Kuemper stopped 38 of 42 shots on goal. The Capitals hope to turn things around and get back in the win column Thursday when they take on the St Loius Blues

In this episode of Locked on Capitals Dan is once again joined by Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington as they talk about this seasons Capitals team and ultimately what is their identity? The beat the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night 5-1 and lost to that very same team Sunday night by a score of 6-3. How can things change so drastically in just a couple of days. The only change in the lineup was Connor McMichael for Nick Aube-Kubel.

Later in the show they talk about how the Capitals are looking for their enforcer. Tom Wilson and will be out until between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Who will raise and take on that challenge. It seems like a lot of teams are pushing around the Caps without Tom Wilson on the ice.

In this episode they also talk about the contributions of Darcy Kuemper and Charlie Lindgren on this team. The Caps were inconsistent in net last year but have solidified that position this year. Now they need that consistency throughout their lineup.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals loss to the Lightning Sunday night by a score of 6-3. This is a Capitals team that beat that very same team just a couple of night ago by a score of 5-1. What happened? The Lightning got off to a fast start and the Capitals could not find a way to match the Lightnings intensity. Darcy Kuemper was pulled after allowing 4 goals. My belief is that it was more about momentum change then the way Darcy was playing. Charlie Lindgren came in and saved 24 of 25. The Capitals offense was almost nonexistent, and they struggled to stay out of the penalty box. The Caps hope to turn it around Tuesday when they play the Panthers.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Capitals game against the Penguins Wednesday night as the fall to the Pens 4-1. The Capitals started the game with a lot of momentum and energy, but that waned after the first period. The Capitals were getting quality shots on goal the momentum turned in Pittsburg favor. Darcy Kuemper who is normally a brick wall in net made some uncharacteristic mistakes and allowed some bad goals. The Penguins were down 3 defensemen at one point, but still found a way to keep the Capitals from scoring. Marcus Johansson scored the only Capitals goal from a feed from Sonny Milano behind the net.

The Capitals drop 4 in row and are trying desperately to get back into the win column. The schedule doesn't get any easier as they face the Edmonton Oilers on Monday.

Alex Ovechkin made history by passing Gordie Howe for the most goal on one team. Alex Ovechkin scores on the power play to give the Capitals a 1-0 lead. It marks Ovechkin's 787th career goal, moving him past Gordie Howe (786 goals with the Detroit Re Wings) for the most goals scored by a player with a single franchise.

With the goal, Ovechkin also passes Adam Oates (1,420) for the 19th-most points in NHL history.

Ovechkin has now scored the first goal of a game 132 times, which marks the second-most game-opening goals in NHL history (Jaromir Jagr: 135).
