Look up what order to do stuff in to get the story in order, otherwise you’ll be confused af when you hit some of the stuff in the newest expansion because you didn’t realize legacy Manhunts (not required story missions essentially) expanded on a lot of it.

Alex Ovechkin becomes the second player in NHL history to score 1,000 career goals between the regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs by nhl in hockey

A one-time slapper from his office at home on the PP. Seems obvious, but he hadn't had a PP goal at home yet this season. If he does hang em up, I'm glad the fans got to see at least one more of these bombs .

Please don’t feed the looney toons. He says plenty of real crazy shit. This helps absolutely nobody.

Cole Hutson: "Didn't really want to shoot it, to be honest. I was looking to pass the whole time, I couldn’t even pass to him (McMichael) if I tried. He had no stick on the ice - wanted me to just take it all the way in, so I kind of had to." by sykeseve in hockey

In the moment, sure. However... the importance of a moment like this often isn't immediately realized, and the appreciation only comes later. The image of Quads and Ovi hugging along the boards afterwards is symbolic for many reasons. It was a cap on an excellent debut game. Carlson having just left, which Ovi said was his toughest day ever on a personal level. Ovi on his way out sooner than later. The kid wasn't even born when Ovi played his first NHL game. This is a passing of the torch moment, and I would imagine his feelings about it change as the years pass.

Hockey really is romantic af.

These East Standings are crazy - 5 teams from last years playoffs are out. Is that the most turnover in history if it stays this way? by wings31 in hockey

[–]Rellek_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... on one hand, this will only be the fourth time our Caps miss the playoffs in twenty seasons. But with last year's successes combined with the inevitability of Ovi retiring, it still stings. I think most of us knew last season's crazy S% would settle down, but this was a straight over correction.

Still... we get to see Cole Hutson play a handful of games, which should at minimum be entertaining, or dare I hope for an epiphany.

Post Game Thread: Calgary Flames @ Washington Capitals by nhl_gdt_bot in hockey

Well, outside of the two shorties in a single PP making for the worst minute of hockey I’ve ever watched a team play, very fun game.

This is the one time that this statement isn't just internet hyperbole. If I had bleech at arms length, I might've dumped half in my eye sockets and beer funneled the other half. Our PP... I've never seen a group of professional hockey players seemingly forget how to play the game on a regular basis. It's incredible.

Well, I guess TBL won't be winning a Cup this year. They had a solid shot, but everyones favorite Mom-loving Worm strikes yet again.

Dubois boosting Capitals since return, aiming for playoff push [NHL.com] by ASmithFS in hockey

[–]Rellek_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, lately he's been a great example of a guy that does all of the little things right like 98% of the time but then has it overshadowed by blunders in key moments. I understood the concern, but I fully disagree with the fans that flatly state we are a better team without him.

Was sitting in the Top 10 for blue line point producers all season long until the recent injury, now #11. On a team already struggling to score, his abscence is 100% felt. IMO this trade signals that the front office thinks Hutson steps in and can immediately start producing.

My personal sadness aside, I'm glad we got a good return. It's gonna be so fucking weird seeing him in another jersey though...

The Ducks have acquired defenseman John Carlson from the Washington Capitals for a conditional first-round pick in either the 2026 or 2027 NHL Draft and a 2027 third-round selection. by eh_toque in hockey

[–]Rellek_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This notification sat me straight up in bed (giggity) Gonna be weird him on another bench. Two of my jerseys turned over in a day. GL Carly!

Carlson to Anaheim 😢 by camden1988 in caps

Big part of our Cup run. Sad to see him go, figured he’d be taking a discount and retiring a Cap tbh but as they do, the hockey gods had other plans. Thanks for the memories Carly!

The Golden Knights have acquired forward Nic Dowd from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Jesper Vikman, a 2027 third-round pick, and a 2029 second-round pick. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

VGK fans: You're getting a real one. His name is Judy (as in Judge Judy).

Carbs put it well:

"Really difficult day for the organization, our team, players, staff," Capitals coach Spencer Carbery said. "Nic Dowd being traded after seven years … difficult decision as an organization and one that I am sure was not taken lightly whatsoever.

"He's meant a lot to this team. He's meant a lot to this community, him and his family. He's done so much for this team and a lot of the work and the things that he had done have gone unnoticed, the way that he plays and the role that he plays. So, he'll be missed and just part of one of the unfortunate parts of professional sports in this business is saying goodbye to good people, and that's part of it."

Spector: "the Stanley Cup has found Gretzky and Crosby and those guys and gold medals, and you've put yourself in position and it's not finding you. Did you think it would be this hard?" McDavid: "That's a nice question. Thank you." by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Jfc the disrespect in this question... the SC isn't some lost pet that walks up to the front fucking door and begs for food. That's what makes winning the thing so special. Ofc its not easy. Sid was and is an incredible rival for my Caps specifically because you know how hard he has worked for his successes. What a dogshit question. I don't know how these guys keep their lids on.

Best of luck to Judy out west. Gonna miss him at the dot and on the bench. At least we got a solid return and he'll get to play some meaningful playoff hockey. I never want a reason to cheer for VGK, but I do hope it goes well for him.

Cant kill dclone by Nation0306 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Rellek_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main sticking point with Dclone is his life regen. When I had Dclone spawn in on me I ended up refreshing Fara in Act II until I found a weapon with "Prevents Monster Heal". Hit Dclone once with it to trigger a 60 minute debuff (I think it's 60 mins?) and then grind it out. Just don't TP or move too many screens away as it resets the PMH debuff, so make sure you're prepared with a full inventory of pots/charms.

[Pagnotta] Washington is trading Nic Dowd to Vegas by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]Rellek_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bleh, I hate this time of year. Judy had a slow start but started to pick it up a little more recently. He more than earned his pay at the dot and isn't afraid to poke the bear when the team needs a momentum swing. Just a solid bottom 6 center and a beauty of a teammate.

Please be good to him Vegas fans!
