Mike’s STH Xperience – Facing Off With the Rangers

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.

The Washington Capitals are back for a three game homestand starting with a visit from the New York Rangers.

On October 9th, 1974, the Washington Capitals made their NHL debut on the road against the New York Rangers. The Capitals fell to the Rangers 6-3. Jim Hrycuik scored the first Capitals goal in franchise history at 5:06 of the first period, and tallied an assist in the third period to record the first multi-point game in franchise history. Ron Anderson scored the Capitals first powerplay goal while Bill Mikkelson would take the first penalty in franchise history. Ron Low made 37 saves on 43 shots faced in the loss. #Caps50Facts

Thoughts on the Game

This was a fun game. When we heard that the Rangers recalled forward Matt Rempe, and was putting him in the lineup, you knew there were going to be fireworks at some point. I just didn’t expect it in the first three minutes when defenseman Dylan McIlrath dropped the gloves with Rempe. Hell of a fight too.

I loved the response from the rest of the team after the fight as well. Seeing Alex Ovechkin score not one, but two goals, and that weren’t empty netters or weird bounces, was exciting to see. Ovi was on fire last night. The only thing I didn’t like was that the Caps let the Rangers back into it a couple of times. This probably should have been more of a 4-2 win, because honestly, two of the Rangers goals where on weird bounces/plays. But the Caps got the win, and everyone, except for the Rangers fans, left happy last night.
