Mike’s STH Xperience – Caps Fight the Knights

Written by

Welcome to Mike’s Season Ticket Holder (STH) Xperience!

This season is my first one as a Season Ticket holder for the Washington Capitals, and in place of doing Caps Game Recaps, I’ll be sharing my experience being a STH during the 2024-25 season. Here I’ll be sharing all of the photos that I take during pregame warmups, along with any FB/IG Reels and TikToks I create at the games.

I will also be doing this for any other games I may go to, whether it’s in Hershey for the Bears, or at other NHL venues for games.

It’s the second game of the season as the Washington Capitals hosted the Vegas Golden Knights.

The 2017-18 season marked the inaugural season of the Vegas Golden Knights as they made history as an expansion franchise. However, the Cinderella story came to an end in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final when the Washington Capitals clinched the series and their first ever Stanley Cup.

Thoughts on the Game

This was a much better game than what we saw on Saturday night against New Jersey. The Capitals got the hop on the Golden Knights, and you could really see they wanted it. Especially Alex Ovechkin.

Ovechkin had two assists to give him 700 career NHL assists (which means he’ll start scoring goals now?), six hits, and a takeaway. He looked like a man on a mission.

Logan Thompson looked solid in goal. The two goals against were tough ones that we really can’t blame him for. But overall, he had a really solid game to earn his first win as a Capital.

Speaking of firsts as Capital, Jakob Chychrun would score his first goal as a Cap, and Andrew Mangiapane would record his first assist/point as a Capital when he assisted on Jakub Vrana’s first of the season.

There are a few things the Capitals still need to work on, but if they keep playing this way, they should have another big game in them against Dallas on Thursday.
