BB talking about coaching young Backy on NHLN. Throwing shade at Hanlon for starting Backy on the 4th line. If i remember right Backstrom scored OT GWG in BBs 1st game with the caps

Last one... lots more on Caps twitter.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I was at Caps training camp Backstroms rookie season and remember fist bumping him and getting all excited about it

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

This is awesome.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

This is awesome.

Damn shame no fans get to see this live. Nicky deserves a standing ovation, or 3.

 

[shtorm2005]

Wow, I didn't know Capitals franchise has had only one player with 1000 games (⊙_⊙)

...But after checking other teams, it looks like 1000 games is a serious and rare achievement.

 

[aonb]

its so fitting to his quiet under the radar career that his 1000 game will be held without fans lol
anyway good job, i love you fat nick

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Preshow Zoom call with old caps players is good stuff

 

[Fallschirmyager]

This is awesome.

Goofy buggers

Honestly so nice to see them making such a big deal of this, given how impactful yet understated Nick is. He deserves way more recognition than he gets in the league.

Congrats Nicky.

19-19-19 is one hell of a line, can’t wait for it to get a goal early on.

 

[txpd]

There will be fans when they give him the platinum hockey stick in a pre game ceremony. He will get his video and standing ovation then.

btw. Happy Jackie Robinson Day

Congrats Nicky! Where does the time go!

I think the underappreciated move of the last week was reuniting Orlov back with Carlson and Dillon with Schultz. Fingers crossed it works out this times. Dillon-Schultz looked good to start the season, but Orlov was still finding his game. Then of course the COVID disaster split them up. Orlov looks strong on the pair this time though. Fingers crossed it works out, because Dillon-Carslon has never really gelled.

Got money on Jake for the first goal in Detroit. I would swear guys used to score in their first game on their new team all the time but seems a thing of my past. Sigh.

 

[RandyHolt]

where is: We'll take the swede

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Backy looks like hes going to cry

 

[tycoonheart]

Haha they brought the old gang out.

 

[tenken00]

Backy looks like hes going to cry

I'm about to cry

No doubt from a slick feed from NB. Yes they’re not even on the same team anymore but Nick’s selflessness and incredible ability to thread a pass through traffic will get Jake the puck from DC to Detroit.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

He can't believe it's been 15 years and 1k games already like most of us .

 

[tycoonheart]

Aww nicky got tears in his eyes

 

[IafrateOvie34]

His kid talking about his dad makes anyone cry.
