Since there’s low activity on the individual game day threads, we thought a better option would be to just have one stickied thread for all* games.
*All is defined as…2026 regular season and post season games? We’ll figure it out as we go along.
Ideally there’ll be a top level comment for the game in question, and the comments for that game can be posted as replies to that comment. If there’s no top-level comment for a game you want to comment on, go ahead and start one.
Suggested wording for the top level comment should be something like: “Ducks @ Caps, 1/5/26”. We’re not going to be rigorous here, just be clear what game you’re talking about.
Let’s go Caps!
Stars at Caps, 1/7/26
The Caps rarely play well against the Stars for some reason.
The Stars are also the second-best team in the league right now, whereas the Caps are very mid at the moment, which is kinda perplexing because I don’t think much has changed since last season in terms of personnel. 🤷♂️
Yep. I think part of the issue with the Caps is that they have a lot of younger players who are just inconsistent - they’re still learning. But they are all good players, so I think they’ll just get better as time goes on.
By the way, you should watch the end of the San Jose/Dallas game yesterday - the OT game winner power play goal was a thing of beauty. The Sharks just kept hammering pucks at DeSmith, who did a really great job stopping most of them, but the Dallas defense couldn’t get the puck out of the zone.
