(2/2)..as Washington lost top forward Bryan Marchand to a concussion after a crushing hit in the season opening loss to Columbus. "We don't who it was, we never got the number of the truck that hit him", said Caps GM/Coach Crash Davis. Marchand is out for 44 games. #BLHL
CAPS START NEW BLHL SEASON 2-4 The Washington Capitals are 2-4 after the first week of the new Beaver Lodge Hockey League season. The Caps finished the week with a 4-3 win in a shootout thriller over Florida. But it was a rough start of the week and season for the Caps...(1/2)
(2/2) The Caps finished at 81pts, 3rd Metro, a vast improvment from previous losing seasons, but Tampa Bay finished at 85pts despite placing 6th in the Atlantic. Apparently, it all came down to the division placing. "Don't hate the player hate the game", said Caps GM Crash Davis
(1/2) CAPS BREAK INTO #BLHL PLAYOFFS !
If the BLHL Capitals ever change their name, they might consider "Bandits".
It's as if the Caps broke through and came in the back door of the BLHL playoff season and stole the final Eastern conference spot from the Lightning
Just in case the @JoseTorrezBLHL overlooked and missed our reply as we're sure they're overlooking us and might miss us passing them as we bumble and stumble into round 2 ! #BLHL
I think Arizona's got it at this point. Anaheim needs Arizona to miss 6 out of 10 points. Caps have a very good chance at passing Philly for third in the metro. Expect Buffalo-Boston but the rest is hard to call with 5-7 games left per team. Habs await either Florida or Toronto.
2/2 - Artem Anisimov put the Sharks up 1-0 off a deflection shot from Nail Yakupov in the 1st period. After a scoreless 2nd period, Martin Hanzal scored unassisted with :43 in regulation off a backhand shot that slid past San Jose netminder Ben Scrivens to tie the game 1-1.
