Knee-jerks: The Washington Capitals' New HD Home

26 September, 2007

The Capitals played a strong 44 minutes tonight, redeeming a shaky third period with Nicklas Backstrom’s OT gamewinner. In addition to the team’s home-ice debut, fans also got a taste of the the Phone Booth’s new HD screens and multimedia displays. The Good As I walked into Section 426 and saw the screens, my first [...]

"I Love My Fans"

25 September, 2007

Yesterday, I participated in a media conference call with Alex Ovechkin. I figured that if a blogger was participating in a media press conference, it would be appropriate to ask a blogging question. Gustafsson: You recently started a blog. Granted, it won’t help too many of us, as it’s in Russian. Is this something that [...]

Reebok's New Uniform System: Drowning in Disaster

24 September, 2007

NHL players and equipment managers might have tolerated their new unforms being unsightly relative to their predecessors, but what if they not only don’t work as marketed (repelling moisture, making players more comfortable) but actually make player performance worse?

Reflections on Training Camp's Opening Week

23 September, 2007

It’s a day of rest not only for Washington Capitals’ players and coaches — well, the players at least — but for the team’s frenzied communications staff as well. Being out at Kettler as much as I have been the past 10 days, I gained a deep appreciation for the commitment of Nate Ewell, Julie [...]

A Hockey Fan’s Comcastic Lament

22 September, 2007

Yesterday my stress was not related to wedding planning (I’m getting married in November), but rather provided courtesy of Comcast. I took the day off work to be home for the switch to Comcast’s Triple Play digital television-Internet-phone package — partly because it’s cheaper than what I had with RCN, partly to get a DVR, [...]
