Episode Synopsis

In the latest episode of Locked On Capitals, the hosts recap the exciting Four Nations Face-Off, particularly focusing on the match between Team USA and Team Canada. The U.S. triumphed with a 3-1 score, advancing to the championship game while raising questions about Canada’s lack of physicality. Despite having star players like Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby, Canada struggled to compete physically, as they allowed the U.S. to dictate the game's pace. The absence of Tom Wilson from the Capitals was noted as a potential game-changer, highlighting the importance of physical presence in high-stakes matchups. Additionally, the podcast provides updates on Alex Ovechkin, who is enjoying a vacation in Miami and expressing disinterest in the Four Nations Tournament due to the exclusion of the Russian team. Ovechkin, focusing on his recovery from injury, is training while the Capitals lead the Eastern Conference. The discussion also touches on Hendrix Lapierre’s performance and potential trade options as the Capitals prepare for a playoff push. The hosts ponder whether now is the right time to explore trading Lapierre for a player who can contribute immediately to the team’s playoff ambitions.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!SelectQuoteGet the right life insurance for you, for less, at SelectQuote.com/LOCKEDONNHL. Wonderful PistachiosGet snackin’ and get crackin’ with the snack that packs a protein punch.
