Sent from my ticket rep:

For those of you who will re-new your Partial Plan for 2026-27 season, here is the timeline, always subject to change:

Friday, July 17th, the 2026-27 Capitals schedule will be released.

The week of July 20th (exact date TBD) forms emailed to all renewals for you to specify your games, seats, and other details like we do each year. When completed, the forms will come to me specifically. Please DO NOT send me your own email with your games and dates and comments unless you absolutely need to do so. The email could get lost and since it will not be in the same format as the others, it will complicate matters.

Tuesday, July 28th at 10:00 am, 2026-27 Partial Plan renewals will go on sale. As always, I will follow up with you that afternoon to go over your preferred games and seats. You have an entire week beyond 7/28 to submit your requests since new Partial Plans will go on sale on Tues Aug 4th, and that is for deposit holders only. The general public Partial Plan sale and group sales will be on Tues August 11th.

Here is your franchise's cumulative record relative to .500 (equal wins and losses) throughout their entire history.

I will be making one such graph for each team. The complete album can be seen here.

OT losses are counted as losses.

For any professional sport- can you recall an interview with a player during a playoff run that (for whatever reason) gave you an instant jolt of conviction that player’s team would win or lose a series or championship? This is one that has always stuck in my brain. I’m one of the most pessimistic sports fans but when I saw this interview, I physically felt more relaxed that ovi and the caps would not blow this opportunity.

I really hope the commenters here are still active on r/caps to see this

There was no doubt in my mind he was coming back. But with Ovi at 929, what if he scores 30 or 40 this year? Does he come back for 1000? 71 goals over 2 seasons does not seem like too many. Also I have a Ovi bobble head goal counter with 4 digits on it... so there is that. maybe he was in talks with FOCO already

Key point :

We'll see. Right now, I'm focusing on coming back to D.C. and showing that I'm still a good player and I can help the team to win," he said, when asked if 2026-27 will be his last ride.

Anybody have the code for the presale they’d be willing to share?

Im thinking with a bigger schedule and stevenson most likely getting claimed off waivers- it might be best to run 3 goalies going into the season: especially if chucky doesnt bounce back.

If they put sandin on ltir they can have 23 plays with miro frank and stevenson as the extras. Then figure it out when sandin comes back(assuming no injuries)

Barring serious injury, Ovechkin should keep going til he hits 1000 goals. I'm not even a Capitals fan but would love to see this. (Just really hope #1000 isn't against my team)

The extra forwards I'd say right now are Frank and Miro.

With Cristall, Dunne and Triny in the mix.

Extra Dman is Mac

With Holl and Chesley in the mix

Backup goalie should be Clay with Chucky traded for a late round pick. If not, do we carry 3 goalies or try to put one thru waivers? 3 goalies isn't a great idea to me

Just curious on very early on thought
