I'll miss Jill, but she could honestly go back to genuine reporting (not sports reporting) and have a better career. Hopefully this proves to be a positive career move in the long term for her.
Oshie's versatility can be captured in a single statistic, the do-it-all index, which awards one point for being above the League average in each of 10 categories. Over the past three seasons, Oshie has an average score of 8.3 out of 10 in the do-it-all index, tying him for the NHL lead with Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Kesler, Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar and Buffalo Sabres center Ryan O'Reilly.
35 years ago today, respectability started
Weird statistics galore, but this seemed interesting (and weird). Considering Oshie is the only winger in that group.
Taken from NHL.com so...
great pic! but where's Laughlin? Guess he wasn't part of the respectability part?
The Capitals will officially open their 2017-18 NHL training camp on Friday, Sept. 15
ARLINGTON, Va. - The Washington Capitals announced today the team's promotional schedule for the 2017-18 season presented by Capital One Bank, highlighted by three all-fan giveaways and several new and returning theme nights.
All fan giveaways include a Capitals schedule magnet presented by GEICO to be distributed at the Capitals home opener vs. the Montreal Canadiens on Oct. 7, a T.J. Oshie Stadium Series bobblehead on March 20 vs. the Dallas Stars and a team poster on April 7 vs. the New Jersey Devils.
Got a question for all you caps fans. I've lived in the area going on two years now and have to ask this - why is the food selection at the arena so unbelievably horrendous? Bread, bread, booze, bread, beer, and bread. I look at the amazing variety of food at the Nats ballpark and wonder what happened at Capital One arena. Just curious.

It's always been like this. As a STH I just end up eating outside. The food inside is bad and overpriced. I guess they don't really care and they talk about how "the food is better this year" but it's all the same old overpriced chicken tenders and fries or pizza or **** like that.
I mean if you are forced to eat inside I'd try the Jose Andres beefsteak restaurant or the BBQ. That's it.

In addition to resisting the urge to dive, Trotz said, the Caps have also been hurt by their own game. As he noted, his players can draw more whistles by possessing the puck more, generating longer shifts in the offensive zone and keeping their feet moving when engaged with opponents-all of which tend to lead to trips, hooks and holds.
"We've been pretty good the last couple of years at extending shifts and drawing those 'tired' penalties on teams," Trotz added. "We haven't been able to do that as much. That's partly on us, partly on our game."
So many typos in such a short article...I feel like this is now the norm.https://sports.yahoo.com/barry-trotz-isnt-happy-caps-180908074.html
Trotz complaining about lack of PPs for the Caps, claims his players don't dive like the rest of the league does and that's one reason why.
