It's been hanging out there all season long—Will he or won't he? The thought of the legendary Alex Ovechkin hanging up the skates has been plaguing the Washington Capitals and hockey fans everywhere. He was asked about it again, point-blank, in an interview that airs today on the Capitals pre-game show. Alex Ovechkin sat down with John Walton to discuss his plans to take time after the season to reflect and consult with his family before determining his future this summer. Catch their fu...
The Inside Out Classic was fitting. Sadness scored first. Joy followed. Anxiety about the tank lingers.
On March 6, the Flyers found themselves six points out of a wildcard spot, and eight points back of the Islanders with two games in hand. Detroit were 10 points ahead of them. With just 67 points, Philadelphia had to overtake Washington, Columbus, and Ottawa just to get to the second wildcard position. They were a meddling 4-4-2 over their previous 10 games. And had Florida, Toronto, and New Jersey just two to three points back. At the time, many hoped the Flyers would end up sinking further, ...

The Flyers hit the road for a quick trip down to DC to face off against their rival Capitals tonight, and with all the momentum in the world behind them, coming off of two huge wins in the weekend back-to-back, they struggled to continue to build on that, and stumbled their way to a 6-4 loss, further complicating their playoff hopes along the way.

While it has been whispered and pondered on and speculated, there is at least now more reputable confirmation that the debut date for Philadelphia Flyers top prospect Porter Martone has been set.
According to The Athletic’s Kevin Kurz, Martone will be lacing up for his NHL debut Tuesday night as the Flyers visit the Capitals in Washington.

I have never met Bruce Cassidy, but people have said that he's a well-spoken, thoughtful man who would give insights to his decisions made while coaching. We can debate all day about his reluctance to name Logan Thompson the starter in Las Vegas, eventually leading to Thompson being traded to Washington where he's now 4-0 against his former team including stoning them in the shootout yesterday, prompting the reaction above. The knee-jerk reaction by Vegas to fire a coach who led the team to th...
After signing their 2025 first-round draft pick Sunday afternoon, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere hinted that if everything lines up and the necessary documentation is complete then Porter Martone will make his National Hockey League debut Tuesday night against the Capitals.
Prior to the start of Sunday evening’s game against Dallas, Briere spoke with the media over the recent signing . And it sounds as if he’s just as giddy as the fans and followers of the team seeing Ma...
I had a good chuckle when social media went off about Alexander Ovechkin taking his first defensive zone face-off ths season despite the Capitals having played 73 games this season. It's not like Ovechkin has ever been up for a Selke Award in his career, and I don't think anyone would put him on the ice in the dying seconds of a game while up a goal. His talents are scoring goals, not stopping them, but Elliotte Friedman's 32 Thoughts article published on Sportsnet's website yesterday got me t...

Alex Ovechkin continues to parade to the top of just about every NHL scoring record in history. On Sunday, Ovechkin scored his 1,000th career goal, regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs combined. OV joins Wayne Gretzky as the only players in history to reach the feat, as the Russian winger continues to shatter the record books.
