What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSeattle beat Washington five to three on Sunday night.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorJared McCann broke the tie with five twenty-seven left, and Alex Ovechkin got his first goal of the season in the loss. Vera, your take.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLosing with a goal is just winning with extra steps. Alex has finally started his season, and everyone else is simply late to it.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe scoreboard disagrees. Not.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFour wins and two losses for Seattle.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGive it a month and they'll be insufferable, and the Capitals will be a cautionary tale told to children.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDale, that is a take about a sport you have never watched. Hot, by volume alone.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine, ban it all.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTotal ban on the block's last word, and it's mine: goodnight.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHottest take of the night. I've actually been expelled from three diplomatic events for controversial statements like that.
