In a Flash, It's 3-0 Bears: Hershey 4, Manchester 1

24 May, 2007

Through the first three games of the American Hockey League’s Eastern Conference Finals, the Hershey Bears have potted 14 goals past the league’s netminder of the year, Jason LaBarbera. Tomas Fleischmann continued his torrid pace tonight — a goal and two assists. Look for the Bears to close out this series Saturday night.

The Don't-Forget-About-Us Guys

23 May, 2007

And what’s next may arrive sooner than you think, if you’re inclined to believe that the Caps will sit by idly and patiently await July 1′s arrival. I’ll [...]

A Blogger's Manifesto

23 May, 2007

Softer Spoken Than Nick Backstrom: the Washington MSM on a Big Hockey Signing Day

22 May, 2007

Confession: prior to Monday, I’d never watched ‘Washington Post Live.’ I don’t have a friend or acquaintance who’d admit to the act.

Backstrom Introduced as a Capital

21 May, 2007

Nicklas Backstrom introduced to the press. I happened to be sitting in the lobby of the Washington Capitals offices when Clan Backstrom made its way in from the bright spring day, and today’s center of attention looked a bit uncomfortable in a dark suit. After being warmly greeted by members of the Caps’ staff, the [...]

The Way Things Oughta Be on the Beat

21 May, 2007

From my weekend visit to Hershey I had an opportunity to meet Tim Leone, whose work for the Patriot News covering the Bears I’ve admired for years, and John Walton, whose impassioned radio pitch I first encountered last spring during Hershey’s spectacular run to the Calder Cup. There’s a predictable purity to their work outside [...]

Backstrom, a native of Gavle, Sweden, attending his first baseball game, delivered a strike over the plate in front of the crowd of 29,281 [...]

Moscow Bonus – Canada Gold

21 May, 2007

As we mentioned before our trip to Moscow, OFB would serve as the “DVD extras” to supplement the Caps’ official coverage of the IIHF World Championships, including photos and observations that didn’t make the cut for Caps’ site. Here’s the first in a series of those extras: photos of the Gold medal-winning Canadian team. IIHF [...]
