Escape to ... Newark?

Washington Capitals at New Jersey Devils
November 26, 2022 | Prudential Center | Newark, New Jersey

While our Roadies last visit to Prudential Center was epic (Ovechkin’s 700th goal), this trip was not so much fun. John Carlson had the lone Caps goal and a Jack Hughes’ hat trick contributed to the 5-1 final score. It was Hughes’ first hat trick and Lindy Ruff’s 800th career win.

Hitting the Turnpike again

Washington Capitals at Pittsburgh Penguins
April 9, 2022 | PPG Paints Arena | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Caps fans were treated to an exciting come-from-behind victory by our boys in their final matchup against the Pens this season. The first period saw both teams trade the lead with the Penguins going into intermission up 3-2. But they were held to three goals as Ovechkin tied it up with a powerplay tally in the second period and Wilson broke the tie with a wrister midway into the third. Late game goals by Kuznetsov and Fehervary send the Roadies home happy with the 6-3 win.

I-95 Showdown

Washington Capitals at Philadelphia Flyers
February 26, 2022 | Wells Fargo Center | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Coming off a deflating loss to the Rangers, the Capitals rode into Philly to face a surging Flyers team whose record didn’t reflect their play. The Flyers took a 2-0 lead in the first period and never surrendered it. A goal by Oshie and scrap by Wilson were the lone highlights for Caps Nation. But win or lose, we always have a good time.

Finally, the new Isles barn

Washington Capitals at New York Islanders
January 15, 2022 | UBS Arena | Elmont, New York

After so many years and so many attempts, the Isles finally got a new barn to call home. UBS Arena has all the bells and whistles of a modern arena but with the feel of the Coliseum. We were delighted to take in the first Caps game at UBS as the December game had to be postponed when the NHL started the Christmas break early for a Covid reset.

The game was great with Tom Wilson opening the scoring in the 1st period giving the Caps a lead they would keep all night. Ovechkin scored in the waning minutes sealing the 2-0 victory. Wilson took 1st Star honors on the night, much to the chagrin of all his haters on the Island.


Trip Itinerary

The Caps Road Crew will be traveling to Elmont, NY for a 2pm Saturday afternoon game at the brand new UBS Arena. The early reports are that this is a beautiful barn and you’ll want to check it out while it still has that new rink smell. We’ll gather on-site for a tailgate brunch prior to the game and if the last one is any indication, this will be a highlight of the weekend again this year.

Midnight Fun in the Motor City

Washington Capitals at Detroit Red Wings
December 31, 2021 | Little Caesars Arena | Detroit, Michigan

After the heartbreaking cancellation of our March 2020 visit, we were delighted to have the opportunity to take in a NYE game at Little Caesars. The enduring pandemic kept the group small but the long holiday weekend allowed for a fun visit to Motor City. We had a blast at Harry’s before the game and Roadies had plenty of time to explore the area before doors opened. The Caps had a great night scoring three straight after Detroit opened the scoring in the second period. Two by Ovechkin in the third brought home the 3-1 win and sent the Roadies off to celebrate more than just New Year’s Eve.

Sunday Brunch

Washington Capitals at Carolina Hurricanes
November 28, 2021 | PNC Arena | Raleigh, North Carolina

A rare afternoon game in Raleigh provided the opportunity for our first brunch tailgate with the Caniacs. Roadies enjoyed a spread like only the Road Crew can lay out and then was treated to an exciting game. After a slow start, the Caps came out strong in the second to put up a two-goal lead. The Canes came back in the third period to tie it up giving Orlov the opportunity to play hero by potting a late goal to break the tie. With an empty netter by Carlson, our boys came out on top, 4-3.

The Caps put in a terrific effort to the delight of the Roadies in attendance. With two goals by Hathaway, one by Sheary, and Ovechkin scoring his 742nd to best Bobby Hull for 4th all-time, the Caps came away with a 4-3 victory.
