Alex Ovechkin says he will "most likely" not sign another contract extension with Capitals in 2026
Washington Capitals release 50th anniversary season Courage Caps russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2025/02/25/c...
Alex Ovechkin, at age 39, registers third-longest shift of NHL career against Pittsburgh Penguins russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2025/02/25/a...
My sincerest hope is that Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin are in the booth when Alex Ovechkin breaks the record. Anything less would be kinda heartbreaking.
i think the number one thing i say out loud when i watch caps games is just “hey! leave him alone!”
Yes that’s generally accepted by literally everyone

Jakub Vrana has goals in three straight games. What a huge shot. Caps-Bruins tied 1-1.
Aliaksei Protas on his dad seeing his first Capitals game live: "That's pretty special. He maybe doesn't understand it, I really appreciate everything he's done for me in my life. Obviously the whole family. I'm so happy to have him here and share this couple wins."
Aliaksei Protas on Pierre-Luc Dubois and Matt Roy suiting up against their former team, the Los Angeles Kings: "First of all, red looks better on them, I think."
Aliaksei Protas to fans during his Capital One Arena post-game interview: "Enjoy the McDonald's. Merry Christmas, everyone."
His empty-net goal was a McNugget Minute goal, scoring in the final minute of the third period.

Jakub Vrana's got goals in consecutive games!
PLD’s arm tattoos
Pierre-Luc Dubois on Aliaksei Protas to Al Koken: "We call him Go-Go-Gadget. He has the longest arms I've ever seen."
Aliaksei Protas scores again after the Kings turn it over. It's his 13th goal of the season and his fourth in the last six. Guy is absolutely nails this season.
1-0 Caps.
Connor McMichael scores to make it 3-0 Capitals. He finally takes the team-lead in goals from Alex Ovechkin. That's his 16th of the year.
Jakub Vrana with a snipe. It's his fifth goal of the season and his first since November 17 against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Uh oh. 3-2 Chicago.
Ryan Donato skates out from the corner, sheds John Carlson to the net, and beats Logan Thompson past the far post.
Blackhawks and Capitals have a fracas near the net and Chicago players start trying to punch and facewash Tom Wilson in his injury area on the face.
F'd up.
hell ya
Hockey cinema:
The Capitals take consecutive too many men penalties against Chicago.
Joe B's all like, Spencer Carbery's gonna be big mad about this.
Monumental's cameras then find Carbery on the bench and he angrily drops an F-bomb seconds later.
NO LONGER SICK, Andrew Mangiapane scores ONE SICK GOAL
Pierre-Luc Dubois has his fifth goal of the season, scoring on a breakaway that squeaks maybe an inch over the goal line. 1-0 Caps.
Roope Hintz gives the Stars an insurance goal late after a John Carlson turnover behind the net.
Rasmus Sandin's hand basically has an own goal. Caps now trail 2-1.
Brandon Duhaime and Brendan Smith get in a scrum. Duhaime appeared to be sticking up for Wilson after that nonsense hit in front of the net.
Duhaime yapped at him before the faceoff and continued yapping at him at the bench.
Wilson is having his left side worked over on the bench near his back ribs area. He was grimacing while skating during his last shift.
Tom Wilson, who wasn't hurt enough already, is down on the ice in pain after being cross-checked from behind by Brendan Smith. He got up under his own power, but won't start on the power play.
