Nicklas Backstrom: "The hip's not going to be 100%. That's something we all know. Some days are good. Some days are less good. That's just life."
Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom on what the plan is for his nagging hip injury: "We'll see what's going to happen [this summer]. We have some decisions to make. Those decisions aren't finalized yet, so we'll take it day by day."

Nicklas Backstrom is not sure what the next course of action will be for his hip. Rehab? Surgery? Sounds like it’s all on the table but he’s still hopeful of getting closer to where he needs to be. That said, “the hip is not going to be 100-percent.” #Caps

A lot of good for the Caps that first period. But you can see how easy it is for Florida to push the pace. Just step on the gas whenever they want. More physical than they get credit for, too. Not a game you want to be down Tom Wilson.

Johan Larsson, acquired by WSH, has quietly been one of the most effective shut-down centres in the league. He did it for years in Buffalo's bottom six, and - as a flex - did it in Arizona's top six as well this season. Classic MacLellan pickup. #AllCaps

Love Brian Boucher. He is out of his mind with this Ryan Reaves love fest. We don’t have to force storylines. Other Rangers have had fine games.

Doug Johnson 1964-2022: It is with profound sadness and a very heavy heart to share that my beloved husband Doug passed away on Monday. Doug was loved by many and will be sorely missed. May his memory be a blessing. Better days are ahead.

Congrats to 🌸 on giving up more goals to Alex Ovechkin than anyone else ever.

“It’s hard to talk about Ovi,” said Tom Wilson. “Until you get to see him on a day-to-day basis, you can’t really explain it. He’s just a machine.” washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

No hockey watching before marriage, ladies! It’s in the Bible
Replying to @MarcPDumont
It is not the sport that focuses only on one gender. It is the one gender that focuses on the sport. Very few women actually watch and enjoy practicing hockey. Most women who watch hockey do it for the social aspect of it, or to be with their hubby.

The NHL-leading #Caps suffer a rare collapse and fall 5-4 at FLA, which improved to a league-best 12-1-0 on home ice. WSH led 4-1 at the start of the third period...then got outshot 26-2 in the final frame. Oof.
