If anyone going to tonight’s game is willing to give up their free pride cup, please DM me!

Would love to get the team’s insulated pride cup for a gift for one of my kids. Just message me and we can hopefully work something out. I’ll pay for shipping of course.

Thanks!

Join the Simulation Hockey League!

Hello r/caps! First we would like to thank the mods for allowing us to share our league with you! So what exactly is the Simulation Hockey League? We are a free simulation league about to enter our 80th season! The SHL allows you to create a character and take control of every aspect of their career. From creation there are tasks you can participate in on a weekly basis to earn points that go towards improving your player to perform better. With the conclusion of our most recent season comes the off-season activities, including the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League's (SMJHL) Entry Draft, the initial stepping stone for your player. You will be drafted to one of 16 excellent SMJHL teams! You'll spend your first season getting acclimated to the league and fighting for the Four Star Cup, and afterwards you'll be drafted by one of the 20 Simulation Hockey League (SHL) teams. Work hard, stay active and you could earn the prestige of being the 1st overall draft pick!

Whether you want to create the next Ovi and smash our goals scored records or create a silly player who does nothing but bakes pies in their off time, this is the place to do it.

BE-A-PRO EXPERIENCE - A rich, personal hockey experience that crosses between video games and fantasy hockey. Build your player exactly how you want with a variety of different styles. Be totally involved in your player from the beginning, and take them from rookie to the SHL Hall of Fame! Every game is simulated on Franchise Hockey Manager 8, and its wide array of attributes allows you to customize your player to the maximum. Success is based on your activity within our community, so the more involved you are, the greater your player can be! A link to our YouTube channel can be found here if you want to see what our daily streams are like! https://www.youtube.com/live/AIxxSERUPMQ?si=uyBJZva0HljFwt2y&t=1395

FREE - As stated earlier, I want to emphasize that our community/site is completely free. It's free to join, free to participate, free to do what you want. Our league runs off the hard work of our community, we all serve each other in that regard. Every aspect of our site is run by our members. This isn’t a sales pitch, we’re just always looking for new members to fuel the already great community we have built!

DRAFT DAY - Experience what it is like to wait for your name to be selected, alongside your draftmates, vying for that top spot! This is a full draft experience where real people will draft you and spend their resources on your potential. Become the next big steal, or potentially the next big bust. Show the GMs you’ve got what it takes to be the face of their franchise!

REAL PEOPLE, REAL OWNERS - Every aspect of the league is run by real people from all around the world! Your draftmates, future teammates, general managers and the league’s head office are all real people you can interact with. Every decision from team lineups, draft day selections and last minute trade deadline deals are done by teams owned by members of the site, with plenty of opportunity for you to fill in those roles yourself! SHL superstar, team captain or scout, General Manager, Head Office; the site is full of opportunities for you to get involved however you so choose!

COMMUNITY - Once your player is drafted onto a team you will gain access to a private locker room for your organization, and their Discord server (should you choose to join there). Here is often where the closest relationships develop, and where you’ll make some great new friends to share your SHL journey with! You can spend time discussing the season, reflecting on your success, or just having a blast hanging out together! Of course you’ll find passionate hockey fans here, but with so many unique members, you’re bound to find people with lots of interests all over the site for you to get connected with.

4 Nations Rosters

With the rosters coming out tomorrow, stuck in between, our players are great, etc. and should make their respective country rosters, and, we are actually good this year please pick no one so we can rest and avoid potential injuries for the playoff push. The big one is Logan Thompson, with how weak Canada's goaltender pool is, slightly worried about him not only making the team, but being the starter. PDOCast did a segment a month or so ago where they talked about how everyone is talking about who's gonna make the rosters, but what about the players who won't be in the tournament (like Ovi), who'll get a rest, will that be an advantage. What do ya'll think? Want everyone to make their teams (WIlly, Carlson, LT, etc) or get a rest since we're hummin along?

50/50 raffle

Just a curiosity question. Anyone here actually ever won the 50/50 raffle. I donate to it every game and I've never won anything. Its the same thing with other people I know. 🤷‍♂️

When will the Devils fall back to earth (literally just in terms of Games Played)?

It feels like since the beginning of the season they've been at or near the top in Games Played - and so while they are actually a decent team with a good shot at a high finish, their points total is inflated. Like, right now, they've got 36 points to our 35, but in 4 more games. Extrapolated to an 82-game season, they are on pace for 105 points, and we are on pace for 120.

I know this doesn't actually make a difference, I just find it annoying on a personal level.

Has anyone figured out when we will catch up to them?

The Sharks aren't to be underestimated with their promising rookies...

...but if we can beat them, then I will have more faith that we will have a better chance to do-over their home debacle against the Penguins last month and snap their home losing streak against them the next month, because these Sharks are starting to become what the Penguins are now. Once losers, now dark horses.

Caps Canine Calendars

I've purchased Caps Canine calendars for the past several years. I unexpectedly received mine in the mail today, but I hadn't gotten around to ordering it yet. I checked for charges, and I don't see anything. Did anyone else receive a calendar they didn't order?

Currently the first (and only so far) team to 100 goals in the NHL, let's look at how the team has improved from last year to this one:

Last year...This year...
The team was 28th in goals for per game with 2.63They lead the NHL with 4.21. The gap between the Caps and 2nd place in Goals/game is larger than the gap between 2nd and 9th.
The team had one of the worst goal differentials ever make the playoffs at -37They lead the league at +32
The team had 10 5+ Goal gamesThey have 12 in just 24 games (including two 5-goal periods)
The team scored 3+ goals in 40 games last yearThey have 13 3+ goal periods in 24 games (only 1 of which includes ENGs) - on pace for 44
The team scored 0 or 1 in 18 games (22% of games)They have just 2 in 24 (8%)

WORST Move made by GMBM?

(Including this season, and the new front office setup)

Extending out from a comment I made in a thread celebrating GMBM (totally agree - he’s actually pulling off a “no tear down reboot.”)

But as thought exercise, I tried to figure out what his worst move has been as GM… cause none really came to mind…

Someone mentioned the Vrana/Mantha trade - but I thought it was a fair swing from him - and the return for Mantha isn’t known yet - maybe we pick a winner out of it.

Someone mentioned signing Kuemper - maybe. That’s a pretty minor biggest sin in my book.

So, to help celebrate the 7D chess brain of GMBM, I ask you all:

What do you think his worst move has been for us?

The Capitals are good at comebacks...

...but I want them to take their comeback magic to the next level by being able to win by forcing OT on an extra attacker goal (or two) and then winning after regulation, something that we have yet to see this season. I hope it can happen soon enough!
