Apologies for the delay (if you want to know what’s been going on, just google “Novo Nordisk”).

Anyways, I’m going to be bringing back Japers Rink Radio, at least for a bit! Our first guest will be @allthreezones.bsky.social and we’ll be doing an unacceptably late season preview of the Caps!

Yeah, the Danish social safety net is extremely...coherent. Important to understand ALMP as an outgrowth of the Danish education system and how it all ties in together.

Come to DK, ride on the Copenhagen metro for a bit, and you've got yourself another couple of stories.

I do, yes. Could see Lapierre being the 13th forward bc of the fear of losing him on waivers.

Feels like the Caps lines on Game 1 look something like:
Ovi-Strome-Beauv
Protas-Dubois-Leonard
Miro-McMike-Wilson
Duhaime-Dowd-Sourdif

Fehevary-Carlson
Sandin-Roy
Chych-TvR

We could do another crossover episode

Jacob Rasch @seriousjammage.bsky.social · Jul 7

I wouldn’t put you all through that. Not while everyone’s so happy

Greg Young @gregyoung.bsky.social · May 26

Tbh we can be honest that they’ll probably take a step back. Last year was a 99th percentile outcome.

Sammi Silber @sammisilber.bsky.social · May 25

A handful of experts at the Daily Faceoff suggested that the Capitals will take a step back next year. But is that really the case?

On the Capitals' defying expectations this season, what it means for the future and why not to write them off this early.

Elite talents don't become available often. When they do, you get them & figure out the cap $$ later.

Greg Young @gregyoung.bsky.social · May 19

Okay but actually, the Caps should try to sign Mitch Marner.

This is the most “Caps fan” take ever, but I would love for the Presidents Trophy to be a legitimate achievement people cared about

Tbh, if I’m @seangentille.bsky.social (who wrote the perfectly reasonable article this links to), I’d be annoyed.

Greg Young @gregyoung.bsky.social · May 16

The article this links to doesn’t mention Alex Ovechkin one time.

The Athletic @theathletic.com · May 16

Alex Ovechkin hasn't found a 𝘵𝘰𝘯 of success in Washington over his 20-year career 🏒

Don't really get the "Caps were a fraud" narrative. They were a 52% xG team, and most smart Caps fans openly admitted that this wasn't a likely cup team, just a very good one.

Been a really wonderful and fun year. Appreciate you all.

Feels like we’re close to the end of the line

Greg Young @gregyoung.bsky.social · May 16

Ovechkin playing point on the power play ain’t the answer

Greg Young @gregyoung.bsky.social · May 15

Put him w/ Protas and Strome and I wonder if that changes..

1

Greg Young @gregyoung.bsky.social · May 15

Tbh I think he’d be a great fit in DC

Greg Young @gregyoung.bsky.social · May 14

lol this third line is getting stapled to the bench the second the Caps are trailing

Bailey Johnson @baileyannej.bsky.social · May 14

Caps make some serious changes this morning:

Frank*-Strome-Beauvillier
Protas-Dubois-Wilson
Mangiapane-McMichael-Leonard
Duhaime-Dowd-Raddysh

Sandin-Carlson
Chychrun-Roy
Alexeyev-TvR

Frank is a placeholder for Ovechkin (maintenance). Eller looks to be coming out.

Been a great season, y'all.

Also, we all have day jobs and are putting this out there for free. Give us a break.

Feels like the Caps need LT to steal one tonight.
