In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the tough decisions that lie ahead for Capitals GM Brian Maclellan. This team has missed the playoffs for the first time since 2014. How does Mac plan on getting this team back on the tracks. According to Mike Vogel: "I'd pay close attention to MacLellan's words on exit day, the day the Caps clean out their lockers, speak to media and sift through the rubble of a season gone awry. MacLellan is arguably the League's most candid GM, and he isn't shy about sharing his shopping list every spring when the offseason gets underway. Personnel plans in the hockey operations department are already well underway, and a host of possibilities and potential moves and paths to take this summer are already being discussed. When he took over this job nine years ago next month, MacLellan spoke of the need to add to the team's defense. A month or so later, Brooks Orpik and Matt Niskanen were in the fold. MacLellan generally sets his objectives and then sets about achieving them, and I wouldn't expect this summer to be any different.But yes, my sense is that the Caps are in for a big summer with some big moves. Later Dan talks about Alex Ovechkin and missing the playoffs. Ovi is 37 years old and he has plans on winning more Stanley Cups while he's here. How do the Capitals plan on doing that? In the last segment Dan talks about Charlie Lindgren and if they have a better option as backup goalie in Hunter Shepard. Chalie hasn't had a great season, should Mac see if there's a more viable option elsewhere?

You've found The Crowley Show and I basically should've just named this entire hour the Nostalgia hour. We start with the news that GMJR is now an HHOF'er as we was voted in today. Crowley looks back on the resume of Rutherford even beyond the Penguins triumphs and really puts into perspective just how good he's been in his career. Long time Penguin Brooks Orpik has decided that he was hanging up the skates today. We continue to drive down memory lane as we spend some time on Brooks' time as a Penguin, including Crowley going as far as saying he was one of the best Penguin defenseman of all time. Travis Yost of TSN then hops on the program to talk NHL free agency with the Crowl man.

Second hour of the program starts with a litttleeeeeeeee itty bitty bit of Pirates talk. Hey they have the best bench in all of baseball, isn't that neat?!? However the majority of the segment circles around Evgeni Malkin and how he can bounce back next year, something the Penguins sorely need. Brian Metzer then joins us to give us his thoughts on Brooks Orpik, including one time where Orpik yelled at him, before he gets into the offseason and GMJR's induction. It's then time for the great unsponsored football segment filled with knowledge and fun brought to you by to be determined, where we examine some professors ranking of NFL fanbases.

Maniscalco talks about the missed call last night and Brooks Orpik’s history against the Canes. The Lightning are down 3-0 in their series against Columbus after having the best regular season in the NHL this year.

The Caps win again, this time in overtime, in Game 2 to take a 2-0 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference First Round. And while as fans, we expect the Caps to win, it’s safe to say that most of us did not expect Brooks Orpik to be the guy scoring the game-winning goal in overtime. And yet, that’s exactly what happened. Legen- wait for it- DARY! Let’s discuss, friends.And while we’re at it, we also take a look at what’s happening elsewhere around the League, including Nazem Kadri’s continued antics and the Pittsburgh Penguins hanging out at death’s door.

The guys talk about the recent Stanley Cup win, playing in Pittsburgh, and a ton more. The guys also talked about Jay Bouwmeester and his recent healthy scratch and look back on his career. The fellas touch on some other NHL news and wrap up with some good stories.

Tom Wilson is back, but at what cost? Did the Caps overpay or will his deal prove to be a bargain? JJ Regan and Tarik El-Bashir discuss top-line Tommy's new deal, the Caps bringing back Brooks Orpik and they take a look at the team's offseason as a whole.

Ben Raby joins JJ Regan to talk all things Caps including Brooks Orpik, Todd Reirden and Brian MacLellan. Plus, he has a rather drastic plan to fix the NHL's current playoff format. JJ...disagrees.

The guys are back to talk about all that happened at the 2018 NHL draft weekend. But first, Carl say Jurassic World. Would actually cloning dinosaurs be that terrible of an idea? We might find out.  Carl's real team and "former" bandwagon team made a deal as Brooks Orpik and Philipp Grubauer head to the Colorado Avalanche. Does this make Carl happy? Will this help the Washington Capitals sign John Carlson? (5 minutes after recording ended, we found out the answer) The New York Islanders brought in Barry Trotz and had a great draft. Is that enough to get John Tavares to stay? Ilya Kovlachuk is back in the NHL! But why did the LA Kings sign him? The draft itself had some hits and some misses. Who were the winners and losers of the draft? The Calgary Flames and Carolina Hurricanes made a deal, centered around Dougie Hamilton. The main take away from it though, is that Dougie loves museums and apparently that's a bad thing. We disagree. Keep the podcast name suggestions coming!

Taylor Hall wins the Hart trophy and the Vegas Golden Knights take four awards as the NHL Awards show took place in Las Vegas.  Connor McDavid is still the best, according to his peers.  The NHL Draft took place in Dallas and to no one's surprise Rasmus Dahlin went first to Buffalo and not much else happened.     Listen Here:  iTunes  Google Play  Stitcher  Direct MP3   iHeart Radio Banter -Pete's boy Liam gets scouted by Queen's.  Dale has a hangover (surprise)  and Mike is back from Berlin.  Taylor Hall wins the Hart.  Connor McDavid gets the Lindsay. And the Awards show in Vegas was cringeworthy to watch.  The Buffalo Sabres draft Rasmus Dahlin to no one's surprise, but after that, there were a few surprises. Habs take Kotkaniemi, Oilers take Evan Bouchard and the Leafs trade down and still get their man. Brooks Orpik had negative value. Dougie Hamilton is traded for going to the museum, or so that's what John Shannon says.  Pete signs off until September.     Intro/Outro Music Artist: Fishbone  Song: A Selection

On another episode of Corncob Hockey, Kevin and Tony sat down and talked about: The Bryan Colangelo Burner Account // Why NHL GMs don't use burners to get mad on line // Can Washington blow a 3-1 lead? // Vegas getting cold at the worst time // USA Hockey is racist as hell // Canadian hockey is racist as hell // Even more hockey racism // Steve Simmons is definitely not owned // Brooks Orpik is the GOAT

THN's Edward Fraser, Matt Larkin and Ryan Kennedy discuss the Stanley Cup final thus far (0:25), whether Vegas can alter their style to match Washington's cycle-friendly game (3:45) and whether the pressure is on Vegas for the first time all season (5:40). Then, they talk about the role of concussion spotters in lieu of Brooks Orpik and Marc-Andre Fleury taking hits in game three (9:12), how much John Carlson is raising his UFA stock this postseason (16:12) and Ryan's main takeaways from last week's draft combine (16:12). Plus, they answer some reader questions (29:00).

Rob and Alan react from Las Vegas to the Caps 1st ever win on hockey's biggest stage. They of course talk about "The Save", Brooks Orpik's big night, and other accolades from the victory. They also look at how the upper body injury to Evgeny Kuznetsov might affect Game 3.

No player on the Caps gets more scrutiny than defenseman Brooks Orpik. While the analytics aren't kind when he's on the ice, we got to see what the Caps looked like without him when he was scratched in Philadelphia and...well, his loss was noticeable. JJ Regan and Tarik El-Bashir discuss what Orpik's true impact on the team is as well as John Carlson's monster season and Barry Trotz's new strategy for the goalies.

You won't find a more comprehensive recap of the NFL draft anywhere. Paul analyzes every first round selection and discusses the eye-popping picks in Rounds 2 through 7. Plus, find out which teams were the biggest winners. Golden State rolled over Portland without Stephen Curry. Miami and Toronto are moving on. The NHL sent a message by suspending Brooks Orpik for three games.

In this 56th Puckin Hostile Shoutcast, the Marko Dano season wrap-up episode, the boys got at it one man down (or %10 lighter), with the Canadian import working hard for the looney. We pay tribute to the Blackhawks season, as well as a few members of the Hawks Blogsphere moving on. The group discuss the following: -More talk about the The Puckin Hostile Store, and designs. -The successful Shoutcast move to Soundcloud. -Stephen Burtch live tweets with #Fatrick, as we record, and confirms for a fact that he is a humorless ball bag. -Brooks Orpik is a piece of trash, but Kris Letang gets nothing for crosscheck to the head. -Leafs win the draft lottery. -Bruce Boudreau fired in Anaheim. -Blackhawks looking overseas for roster positions. -Blackhawks organizational roster moves. -The remainder of the Blackhawks playoffs games, before bowing out to St. Louis Some LetterKenny Problems talk -More listener questions. -And of course, as always, an abundance of inappropriate references and jokes in incredibly bad taste.

On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian discuss two newly-minted NHL first-liners and one newly-minted PPQB, a dominant blue-liner who could make for a great sell-high candidate, a dormant defenseman who may yet have more to offer, and the shockingly thin list of candidates to be the 3rd best non-injured player on the Wild. And, take on Elan and Brian in the Keeping Karlsson FanDuel listener league! Our contest opens every Monday night, and runs on Tuesday nights.
