  • Ten #Nhlstats About the Washington Capitals, Who Are Headed to the Postseason for the Seventh Consecutive Season and 31St Time in Franchise History
    Ten #NHLStats about the Washington Capitals, who are headed to the postseason for the seventh consecutive season and 31st time in franchise history. 1. Washington has reached the postseason for the 13th time in 14 seasons (since 2007-08), one of two clubs to do so in 2020-21 – the Pittsburgh Penguins have extended their active run to 15 straight postseason appearances. 2. The Capitals’ run of seven consecutive postseason appearances is the second-longest stretch in franchise history (14 straight trips from 1983 to 1996). It also is the second-longest active run in the NHL behind the Penguins (15; 2007–2021) and ahead of the Nashville Predators (6; 2015–2020) – Nashville can match Washington this season. 3. Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, who between them have the Capitals records for career playoff goals, assists, points and games played, will extend their shared franchise benchmark for most years in the postseason (currently 12). They are two of 13 active players with at least 100 career playoff points, and one of five sets of current teammates on that list (also Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, PIT; David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron, BOS; Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, CHI; Patrick Marleau and Logan Couture, SJS). 4. Alex Ovechkin ranks 18th in NHL history with 69 career playoff goals, trailing only Patrick Marleau (72) among active players, and is among the top 50 in career playoff points (131; 44th). Ovechkin has scored at least four goals in 11 of his 12 previous postseason appearances, second to only Wayne Gretzky (12x) for the most such playoff performances.

  • Nhl Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoff Edition – June 6, 2021
    NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFF EDITION – JUNE 6, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * For the first time in more than a decade, eight goals were scored in the same playoff period as the Lightning and Hurricanes each tallied four times in the second period of Game 4. * Skating in his 100th career playoff game, Nikita Kucherov recorded his 14th outing with three-plus points and helped the defending champions move within one win of advancing to the Stanley Cup Semifinals. * Mathew Barzal helped tie the game and then pulled the Islanders ahead with a goal in the third period as New York rallied again and drew even in its Second Round series with Boston. LIGHTNING STORM PAST HURRICANES IN EIGHT-GOAL SECOND PERIOD The Hurricanes produced a four-goal second period to build a 4-2 lead, but Steven Stamkos and the Lightning also scored four goals of their own in the middle frame to take a 5-4 edge – an advantage they would not relinquish. It was the 12th time in Stanley Cup Playoffs history – and first in more than 11 years – that one period featured at least eight combined goals. DEFENDING CHAMPS MOVE WITHIN ONE WIN OF STANLEY CUP SEMIFINALS Steven Stamkos (2-1—3), Nikita Kucherov (2-1—3) and Brayden Point (1-1—2) accounted for five of Tampa Bay’s six goals as the defending champions took a 3-1 series lead against the Hurricanes and moved within one win of the Stanley Cup Semifinals. * Stamkos (5-8—13 in 10 GP), who sits two goals shy of his most in a single postseason (2015 & 2018), matched the Lightning franchise record for most points in a playoff period, a mark achieved four other times (most recently by Victor Hedman last round in the second period of Game 3 against the Panthers).

    Historica Canada Education Portal Canada's Game - The Early Years Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprint videos for Newsy Lalonde, Howie Morenz, King Clancy, Maurice Richard, Teeder Kennedy, Terry Sawchuk, Jacques Plante, Jean Béliveau and Foster Hewitt. A stick, a puck, a net. This is the game according to Ken Dryden; as Canadians, we have been weaned on it during "long northern winters uncluttered by things to do." Hockey has developed with the nation, and the country has changed with the game. These figures are the early pioneers of "Canada’s game" who cultivated a national pastime and shaped a national consciousness during the first half of the twentieth century. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey innovators; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey became Canada’s game over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; to critically investigate how hockey has influenced and been influenced by the political culture of Canada; to explore the contacts between hockey and commerce during the game’s early development; to question Canadian unease with American ownership and control of "our game." Background The history of hockey is enthralling, and so too is our earnest quest to determine the origin of Canada's game. Passions run deep in those who claim ownership of hockey's birthplace. Whatever the debates are about the origins of hockey, it is generally agreed that The Montréal Gazette recorded the first indoor exhibition of hockey in Canada on 4 March 1875 at Montréal's Victoria Skating Rink.
