This in-depth piece by Murat Ates, The Athletic’s brilliant hockey writer, is a must read - @DaveAMcCarthy & @jhahn4 - for folks wondering how the Caps threaded the needle, rapidly reloaded, and became championship contenders once more.

Add Tuch (LW) and Raddysh (RHD) in Free Agency and Larkin by Trade, and Ovi will definitely return for one more run at the Cup, @jhahn4!

Not many people are talking about the Washington Capitals as a landing spot for Dylan Larkin, but they should be! The Caps should be able to make a compelling offer for Detroit's star forward. #ALLCAPS @TheHockeyWriter

Ya know, @jhahn4 & @DaveAMcCarthy … it was 8 yrs ago tonight when the Caps finally raised the Cup. And I basically waited my entire adult life (over 40 yrs) to experience the joy a Cup Championship brings. Hope I see one more before my time is up!

@VinnysCorner1 @DeeKnig67666008 Ron Francis over Ovechkin? Really??

This Top 25 list isn’t credible without Ovechkin’s inclusion somewhere within that group.

[Kevin N. Arlington @knk4jack]

@jhahn4 & @DaveAMcCarthy - Boys, if Ovi decides to hang up the Skates while relaxing in Mother Russia, I’m hoping the Caps get Alex Tuch in free agency in July and that they pair him with budding Caps’ Star & U.S. Hockey Hero Ryan Leonard. Go Caps!!

@JimmyBluesSTL @StLouisBlues We loved him here in Washington, Jimmy. He was part of the 2018 Cup Winning squad the year before your Blues raised Lord Stanley’s Cup. Just wondering how Blues’ fans feel about trading one or two of your stud Top 6 forwards, Kyrou and / or Thomas? Caps could use one or both!

[Kevin N. Arlington @knk4jack]

@jrraley32 @Ol_TimeFootball @GaryClarkInc I believe Clark was a superior wideout when compared to his contemporary, Andre Reed, who IS enshrined in Canton. But like the Hogs of the same era and team, the Posse has but one member enshrined in the HOF. And Jacoby and Clark, respectively, have been penalized. Seems unfair.

[Kevin N. Arlington @knk4jack]

@Joedaaa @mcclusk That 2018 Cup Win snuck up on us. So grateful Ovi and the Boys got to lift Lord Stanley’s Cup that splendid Spring. The year prior, in getting past the Leafs in the 1st Round, I remember thinking how much Austin and his Boys reminded me of young Ovi’s “Young Guns” with the Caps!

The Harris Ownership Group (HOG) need to hire a new artist. The “W(oeful)-Spear Alternate” logo apparently was designed by a 3rd Grader! Good God …

This wasn’t hard. In fact, it was a layup - and they missed. A real choke job!

End of Story!

@jhahn4 & @DaveAMcCarthy & @TheFourthPeriod - as a lifelong Caps’ Fan, repeatedly heartbroken by Crosby and his mates, I’m only now “getting” what a great guy Syd truly is as his and Alex’s careers wind down. So thankful, like Magic & Bird with the NBA, that they SAVED the NHL!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthletic: The Sidney Crosby-Alex Ovechkin rivalry has captivated hockey fans for 20 years. With Ovechkin’s hockey future uncertain, Crosby shared his thoughts on their bond. "I’ve been thinking about him a lot."

[Kevin N. Arlington @knk4jack]

Boys ( @jhahn4 @DaveAMcCarthy @TheFourthPeriod ) - although I’m disappointed the Caps are now likely to miss the postseason after getting boat raced at MSG, I’m thrilled Lil Pro is set to debut centering a line with Willie & Big Bro Pro against the Leafs. The 700 Pound Line!!

[Kevin N. Arlington @knk4jack]

Sourdif to Hutson to Leonard - like Tic Tac & Toe … @jhahn4 !

[NHL @NHL]

Ryan Leonard from Cole Hutson! 🚀

Get used to hearing that, @Capitals fans!

[Kevin N. Arlington @knk4jack]

Darned Straight, @grantpaulsen - let’s f’n go. Biggest game of the year for Washington, up in the “swamps of Jersey” tonight. The Russian Machine & Willie will be pulling the Caps into the fight versus Olympic Hero Jack Hughes and his Boyz! Who ya got, @jhahn4 & @DaveAMcCarthy?

[Grant Paulsen @GrantPaulsen]

Alex Ovechkin is on a vintage heater.

5 goals in his last 3 games.
6 goals in his last 5 games.
7 goals in his last 7 games.

[Kevin N. Arlington @knk4jack]

Toronto’s Finest, Tom Wilson, plays big in his 900th career tilt tonight. He also scored two goals to clinch another clutch win for Duhaime’s Cockroach Caps who can’t be killed, @DaveAMcCarthy & @jhahn4 … never say die! #winout #ALLCAPS

[Washington Capitals @Capitals]

Being the third-youngest Capital to reach this mark speaks to the immediate impact and legacy you've built since debuting in this sweater in 2013.

Congrats on 900 career games and here's to the many more accomplishments to come, Willy!

My all-time favorite big body NFL Wideout. Teamed with JMU Great Gary Clark and Skins’ Speedster Ricky Sanders, James Arthur Monk would help lead “The Posse” to greatness and Super Bowl victories!

[NFLHuddle 🏈 @NFLHuddleUp]

Art Monk was the definition of quiet dominance.

The first WR in NFL history to hit 100 catches in a season - 106 in 1984.

He broke the all-time career receptions record, becoming the first to surpass 900 and finishing with 940 receptions for 12,721 yards.

3 Super Bowl rings with the Washington Redskins. Smooth, precise, and clutch. A true legend of the game.

Follow @NFLHuddleUp to resurrect legends like him. #NFL 🏈 #History #Washington #Redskins #Commanders

[Kevin N. Arlington @knk4jack]

Man, @grantpaulsen … the kids from JMU are STILL on fire!

Apparently, it’s Madison’s Chase DeLauter’s turn as the 2026 MLB Season, and Chase’s career in the Majors, is just now getting underway.

The young man is really bashing the ball. Talk about locked in.

[Luke Potosky @LukePotosky]

Chase DeLauter:

• 2nd MLB player w/ 4+ HR in first 3 career G (Trevor Story)

• 3rd MLB player w/ 4+ XBH AND 5+ R in first 3 career G (Willie McCovey, Casey Schmitt)

• 2nd MLB player w/ 17+ total bases & 4+ XBH in first 3 career G (Jorge Soler)
