    TXHT Jersey Share – Game Worn in Double OT at MSG

    Today in TXHT Jersey Share we take a look at this very special jersey that was worn by Washington Capitals defenseman John Erskine when they defeated the New York Rangers in double overtime in Madison Square Garden.

    So the story behind this one is awesome. I had received the first ever bonus in my life and it was enough to get a game worn jersey from Meigray. I knew I wanted a John Erskine jersey and they were three available. Both the home and road regular season jerseys, and by luck the road jersey worn in Game 4 against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden that the Capitals won in double overtime. Well with three solid options I didn’t know which one to go with so I went to Twitter and asked the man himself and let John Erskine decide which jersey I should get.

    Erskine made it known that it was an obvious choice. The Playoff jersey! It was a no brainer. So I ordered the jersey and I brought it to a Capitals practice and presented it to Erskine to sign and the exchange about it was hilarious, but awesome.

     

    Me – Hey Ersk, can you sign this please?

    Erskine – Is this the one I said to get on Twitter?

    Me – Yes sir. *proud smile on my face*

    Erskine – *signs the jersey* Cool.

     

    Damn right it was cool.

  • Free Agent Frenzy – Capitals Sign Panik, Hathaway and Two Others.

    Free Agent Frenzy – Capitals Sign Panik, Hathaway and Two Others.

    Yesterday was July 1st where it is internationally known as Canada Day, or as us hockey fans know it, Free Agent Frenzy Day.

     

    Yesterday on the first official day of Free Agency their were many huge signings like Artemi Panarin to the New York Rangers and Sergei Bobrovsky to the Florida Panthers, but what did the Capitals do? Which is a great question given the holes they have to fill.

     

    The Capitals did not wait long as they inked forward Richard Panik to a four year deal worth $11 million.

    Panik, 28, recorded 14 goals and 33 points in 75 games with the Arizona Coyotes last season. He has also spent time with Tampa Bay, Toronto and Chicago.

     

    Panik is slated to play on the Capitals third line with Carl Hagelin and Lars Eller.

     

    Then an hour later they would sign forward Garnet Hathaway to a four year deal worth $6 million.

    Hathaway, 27, recorded 11 goals for 19 points in 76 games with the Calgary Flames last season. 2018-19 season would be career highs for him in both goals and points.

     

    Hathaway is slated to play on the Capitals fourth line with with Nic Dowd.

     

    Then the Capitals would sign minor league center Philippe Maillet to a two year, two way contract with an AAV of $700k.

     

    Then to end the day of signings for the Capitals, they would sign forward Brendan Leipsic to a one year $700k deal for the 2019-20 season.

    Leipsic, 25, recorded 7 goals and 23 points in 62 games with the Los Angeles Kings and Vancouver Canucks last season, setting career highs in both goals and points. He has also spent time with Toronto and Vegas.

     

    This is the most interesting signing as one would have assumed that either Chandler Stephenson or Travis Boyd would take the last fourth line spot, but as of this writing it is Leipsic who is slated to be on the fourth line with Dowd and recently signed Hathaway.

     

    Also the Capitals re-signed goalie prospect Vitek Vanecek to a three year deal yesterday.

  • NHL Trade Alert: Jacob Trouba to the New York Rangers

    NHL Trade Alert: Jacob Trouba to the New York Rangers

    Seemingly out of the blue, New York Rangers GM Jeff Gorton completed a trade for defenseman Jacob Trouba.

     

    Trouba, who has long been rumored to be traded out of Winnipeg, was finally traded to the New York Rangers in exchange for defenseman Neal Pionk and the 20th pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The hockey world is still coming to terms with this trade and how it shakes up the landscape of the NHL. Let’s take some time to analyze this for both squads.

     

    Winnipeg’s end of the deal

    The Winnipeg Jets, while the initial reaction is understandably not very positive, do get their first rounder back in a very deep 2019 draft. That will help them as they continue to try to find the right pieces to compete for a Stanley Cup and there will still be some great prospects available at the 20th overall spot. While this draft is considered to be as unpredictable as any in recent memory the Jets will have their pick of quality prospects. WIth the trade of Trouba, the Jets should look to a guy like Sweden’s Tobias Bjornfot to eventually replace him on their blueline.

    As for Neal Pionk, well this is a bit more complicated. During Pionk’s time in New York he showed flashes of being a good offensive defenseman but ultimately, he hasn’t shown any of the consistency that the Rangers hoped for. He had 26 points this past season which wasn’t bad at all but his plus-minus at a minus-16 was absolutely awful. The advanced stats also aren’t very kind to him as they paint him as one of the worst defensemen in the NHL last season. The thing is in Winnipeg, the Jets won’t force him into a top pair role. He can play on the bottom two pairs, or hopefully bottom pair where he is more suited, and have an easier time finding his way in the league. If Pionk can become a serviceable offensive defenseman for the Jets as the years go on, that would be good as they compete for a Stanley Cup.

    The Jets defense pairing should look like this next season:

    Josh Morrissey – Dustin Byfuglien

    Ben Chiarot – Tyler Myers

    Dmitry Kulikov – Neal Pionk

     

    New York’s end of the deal

    The Rangers acquire a 25-year-old right handed first pair defenseman. That is EXACTLY what they needed this offseason. Jacob Trouba, along with Brady Skjei and prospects K’Andre Miller, Nils Lundkvist, Adam Fox and others will lead New York’s blueline into the future as they hope to get back to Stanley Cup contention. Trouba had eight goals and 42 assists last season for 50 points during his age 24/25 season and will be a cornerstone on the Rangers blue line for years to come. GM Jeff Gorton essentially turned three months of Kevin Hayes and Neal Pionk into Brenden Lemieux and Jacob Trouba. Fantastic job by the boss in New York. The Rangers have put their rebuild into overdrive and this Friday  they will get the chance to add Kaapo Kakko or Jack Hughes at the entry draft in Vancouver. It has been an amazing year since the Rangers announced their plans to rebuild.

     

    The Rangers defense corps should look like this next season:

    Brady Skjei – Jacob Trouba

    Libor Hajek – Adam Fox

    Marc Staal – (prospect to be determined)

    The Tampa Bay Lightning would get their 62nd win on the season, tying an NHL record with the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings, when they defeated the Boston Bruins with a 6-3 win yesterday afternoon.  Tampa Bay would get this win after being down 2-0 late in the second period and would score four unanswered goals before Boston would score in the third period to make it a 4-3 Tampa Bay lead. Tampa Bay would score two more goals, one being an empty netter late in the third, to give the Lightning a 6-3 win.

    The Montreal Canadiens would defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 6-5 shootout win, thanks to a hat trick by Ryan Poehling in his first NHL game.

     

     

    In this back and forth contest, the Toronto Maple Leafs could not keep up with the upbeat Canadiens and would fall in the shootout loss.  However, despite the loss, the Maple Leafs would earn 100 points on the season, and it would be the first time Toronto would earn that mark in consecutive seasons.

     

     

     

    Columbus 6, OTTAWA 2

     

     

    The Columbus Blue Jackets would seal their spot in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 6-2 win over the Ottawa Senators yesterday.  This would also be a penalty free game from both teams.

    The Buffalo Sabres would face off against the Detroit Red Wings and would end up crushing Detroit with a 7-1 win last night.

    New Jersey 4, FLORIDA 3 (OT)

     

    Travis Zajac would score the game winner in overtime, his 19th goal on the season, to give the New Jersey Devils the 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers last night.

    DALLAS 3, Minnesota 0

    The Minnesota Wild would be outshot throughout the entire contest and never could catch up to physicality and overall play of the Stars.

     

     

    Edmonton 3, CALGARY 1

    The Edmonton Oilers would defeat the Calgary Flames with a 3-1 win thanks to Leon Draisaitl’s 50th goal on the season as well as Alex Chiasson’s 22nd goal on the season.

     

    Calgary’s lone goal would come from Mark Jankowski, his 14th goal on the season, in the first period of the contest.  After that goal by the Flames, they would not any answer for the Oilers.
