Happy to announce an early Christmas present for Caps fans...I'm going to be relaunching @JapersRinkRadio! I'm still working on the full slate of guests, but the hope is to go bi-weekly. I'll be announcing our first guest early next week, so stay tuned 🙂

Guys, there’s no chance Detroit would take this deal.

There’s a lot of evidence of strong black turnout right now (also see the LA early voting data), and I haven’t really read a lot of convincing explanations why

SC modeled party is at R+1.9 but that is significantly worse than 2024 at this period of EV where it was R+28.8. Modeled Dem turnout is +7% vs 24 and modeled GOP is -45% vs 2024 147K Black turnout is near even vs 24. Share is 29.5% of ballots cast vs 21.3% in 2024 #scpol

To me, this kinda feels like CBS had a big GOP non-response issue here (like we’ve seen in a lot of these Iowa polls), then had to crudely use 2024 recall to make the top-line make sense.

It has an R+12 weighted sample for the electorate: 41R 30I 29D That's the exact same R-D partisan turnout margin as 2024. Seems unlikely that the partisan electorate will look the same as 2024...

Will always love Kyrou, but the early returns on this one have been GREAT for the #STLBlues. Armstrong masterclass Obviously still EARLY… BUT… McMicheal is 2/4/6 in 6 games.. playing 2nd line and 16 mpg Kyrou is 1/1/2 in 6 games.. playing 3rd line and 10 mpg AND the blues got an additional 2026 1st that they used on Dagenais, and helped them feel comfortable using additional capital to go get McTavish.. McMicheal and McTavish have been unbelievable for the #Blues… and neither are here without the Kyrou trade. Army masterclass early on. #LGB #FrozenFrenzy

PLD has operated as a good "fixer" of lines before...I wonder if he'd be a good fit w/ Kyrou & Big Pro

Spencer Carbery, btw, found a good substitute for Pierre-Luc Dubois on the powerhouse line with Alex Tuch and Tom Wilson: Dylan Strome. That combo had an expected goals-for % of 94.13, a Corsi-for % of 83.33 and scoring chances-for % of 87.50 at 5-on-5.

So this involved failed 2010 GOP senate candidate Sue Lowden (she lost in the GOP primary to the even crazier Sharron Angle.) Still, it led to my favorite headline ever.

I guess I would say that at the time, at least in my recollection, it was our impression that 2012 turned out quite well for Ds, largely because the GOP gifted as many as 3 or 4 senates seats to the Ds by nominating complete whackos. Look up bartering chickens for healthcare.

This fits w/ what I've seen from the first 3 games. Obviously a rough game for that line, but I quite like the complementary skill sets of Ilya & Kyrou. That said, I wonder if Big Pro is as good a fit with them or if he'd be better off elsewhere.

Kyrou hasn't struck yet for the Capitals, but it's a matter of time until his dynamic rushing ability and skill with the puck breaks through. That should be a huge acquisition for them.

NHL has a refereeing problem and their own data shows it

Two seasons of NHL play-by-play show referees evening up penalty calls: the next call goes to the team that's been called less 60% of the time, and every regular referee does it.

Ilya Protas at 5v5 for the Caps last night (Score & Venue adjusted): 10:52 Ice Time 76.08 Shot Attempt % 90.28 Shots on Goal % 90.42 (!!) Expected Goals % 1-0 in actual goals That's one hell of a start.

The word that comes to mind regarding this Caps team: relentless. I'm just not sure how you're supposed to matchup against them.

Yep, I noticed the same thing. If you look at 5v5, the line distribution was basically even. That's really solid, especially against a team like Carolina.
Chris Cerullo (@Chris_Cerullo) profile pictureChris Cerullo@Chris_CerulloOct 3
I don't remember the last time the Capitals had an ice-time dispersal like this in a game, especially against Carolina. This is what being a deep team does.

This is the dumbest controversy I've seen in awhile. This language is extremely anodyne & versions of it can be found in almost every fan Code of Conduct

The @Canes have officially banned cursing at the @LenovoCenter for the 2026-27 season. Any fan who curses in front of children will now be evicted from the arena. Cursing has not place in the game of hockey. #CarolinaCulture nhl.com/hurricanes/fans/fan-…
