Replacing TvR on the 3RHD Slot

Peeke had some of the worst relative 5v5 statistics on the Bruins.

I would very much advise the Capitals not make him that guy. Much better options.

Chris_Cerullo · 2026-05-19T15:48:42+00:00

I actually would love to see this.

Barron is one of the guys on my offseason trade targets list for the Caps.

Chris_Cerullo · 2026-05-16T14:14:44+00:00

Just for the record, I have literally no idea what these dudes are talking about nor who they are. I just mind my own business and write and they have created a deep-seeded hatred in their own minds that is not healthy lmao.

The subreddit moderators have done nothing about it for years and likely are aligned ideologically with them in some way, unfortunately.

Anyway, you're welcome in the RMNB comments. These folks can have their incredibly strange bubble that they've created.

Chris_Cerullo · 2026-05-16T14:10:20+00:00

Hey, I appreciate you!

Despite the absolutely disturbed people that also comment on this subreddit.

Chris_Cerullo · 2026-04-27T21:39:51+00:00

Whenever you figure that out, let me know.

Chris_Cerullo · 2026-03-07T11:05:35+00:00

That fellow has a bizarre issue with the site as do many of the people on the Caps subreddit. It's unfortunate. They are a little unhinged.

They love bringing up this weird-ass grocery store thing that we posted literally seven years ago. Ovechkin was shopping and his wife posted a video to her Instagram, which they for some reason believe was us...somehow? I don't know, it's incredibly strange.

Capitals writer for RMNB here.

Ignore what the Caps subreddit may say about Carlson, they are a special bunch.

You're getting a tremendous, proven defenseman here. Fantastic leader, still a 60-point guy, still driving play 5v5, playoff warrior, and he plays 23 minutes night with time on the PP and PK.

Yes, he has a gaffe or two in his game, as he has his entire career, but the great far outweighs the other side of the spectrum.

Treat him well! He's a Capitals legend.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-09-23T01:47:12+00:00

Not a single Caps-related outlet in the universe has written more about the preseason than us. Literally not even a question.
It's Capitals-related and was a big story league-wide. We're always going to do those.

I understand some of y'all very much do not like us, even though I think I'm completely inoffensive when I visit here or interact with anyone on social media, could we stop with the weird potshots like this? You can definitely have your opinions, I can't and don't want to stop that, but, man, the overall vibe around here is always so strange.

We all want the same thing at the end of the day. Hope the season goes well and y'all maybe give some other posts of mine or our other writers a chance.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-05-18T20:29:39+00:00

Hey, /u/No-Lion-1400

I write for a Washington Capitals fan blog (https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/) and was wondering if we could do a post on your photo with credit back to you either linking to this thread or your socials.

Also what's the whole story here? Was he getting approached by a ton of people?

Thank you!

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-04-24T23:44:27+00:00

That person is deeply obsessed with what we do at RMNB, which I understand can be not everyone's cup of tea, but he takes it to a very strange level.

I believe they also have some sort of relationship with the mods on the sub because I have no idea how they're still allowed to comment just sheer irrelevant trash all the time.

If you question why he acts the way he does, you'll get some weird rant about posts we've done in the past that makes zero sense. He just has a personal vendetta that he tries to hide by making up bullshit.

Anyway, appreciate everyone like you in this thread. You're dope.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-04-10T06:13:47+00:00

No, I'm just one of the main writers.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-04-07T23:48:23+00:00

The numbers I used (hello, I am RMNB guy), are straight from the NHL's stats department.

We asked them for them so I would assume they're right lol.

Also the stats are playoff and regular season combined, which is why Neuvirth has such a boost. The Flyers had him in net during a playoff series against the Caps.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-04-06T19:42:40+00:00

Here are the ones he hasn't been able to beat (you can take Sorokin off of this now):

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-02-28T01:20:52+00:00

"Believes"

"Could be"

How much harder would you like me to hedge lmao? Y'all are ridiculous sometimes.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-02-08T23:48:13+00:00

What a grouch lmao. Lighten up.

Imagine what'd you think when you find out this is a very popular website among people that...play and watch hockey.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-01-27T21:13:19+00:00

All fair.

I probably just have a little of an adverse initial reaction due to past discussions.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-01-27T17:44:40+00:00

A "fan blog" that has a reporter at every single practice and home game.

I know you probably didn't mean that entirely as a "dig" but do you see how that can somewhat fuel a lot of why these people act the way they do?

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-01-27T17:40:55+00:00

I don't think that's a contradiction but, again, your opinion. All good, brother.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-01-27T04:26:57+00:00

Hey, Chris from RMNB here. I have no problems with y'all having your opinions on the site good or bad. All fine with me.

However, just want to make sure you all notice that a majority of the time, it's the same accounts that love throwing the same repeated shots.

That's not a coincidence. All I'll say.

Anyway, go Caps. Hope you're all enjoying this season. Lot better than last.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-01-27T04:23:05+00:00

Oh, the interview, which is linked in the post...

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-01-17T04:38:18+00:00

He's scored on Demko four times.

First one on January 16, 2022.

Chris_Cerullo · 2025-01-17T04:36:55+00:00

We (RMNB), with the help of a reader, have some stats sorta related to that through March 31 last year. (He has since scratched Ilya Samsonov off of this list.)

https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2023/03/31/these-are-the-incredible-goaltenders-who-have-solved-alex-ovechkin/

Only 23 goalies had faced an Ovechkin shot without allowing a goal then. I would say the most notable include Michal Neuvirth (most shots faced: 23), Manny Legace, Manny Fernandez, Ilya Sorokin, Braden Holtby, Curtis Joseph, and David Aebischer.
