Un asilo para el hockey subalimentado
Los días más fríos calientan lo más mejor posible mi corazón del hockey
Nos expondrán a una atmósfera, el wager de I, los gustos de el cual nosotros en la C.C. never have before, and how fitting that it debuts alongside a buzz-generating hockey team. You’ll agree with me, I think, that Ivan Majesky in enlarged hi-def is still Ivan the Terrible. This morning in my dark quiet I’m thinking about a winter Friday or Saturday night with a marquee visitor in town, the Caps on a three- or four-game win-streak, the house full or close to it, the Alexes scoring on binges, and all that noise.
Still before 7:00 and still dark, I learn I’m not alone in my puck thoughts: I receive an instant message from the Caps’ Spike Parker. He’s working already and I’m blogging: it’s just like we’re back in Moscow together again, except the women in my neighborhood don’t look quite as fit and alluring. We wish each other a Happy Opening Day.
I’m thinking about the novelty all of the media on the Caps I’ve consumed this week. We may look back on this week as perhaps the most significant for media for this team in its history, when a perfect storm of blogging, new and renewed print and broadcast zeal, and some re-engineering by old media combined to deliver a feast for hockey fans in this region. Somebody tell Tony and Mike.
I’m thinking about the bloggers’ season kickoff soirée scheduled for this evening downtown at the Grand Hyatt, and how eager I am to reconnect with so many friends I made last season and didn’t get to see over the summer. (Vogs, I’ll have one for you.)
Hockey’s here again, in my hometown. Even in the dark, I can look out and see the correct alignment of the planets.

Nice one!
I have recently moved to France (long story). While I’ll miss friends and family, it’s the Caps I’ll miss the most, especially with the new unis, new faces, and new expectations. I’m going to rely on you and your blog to keep me informed! Just wanted to let you know.
Cheers for the Capitals
Jonathan, enjoy your time in France, and thanks for reading OFB!
Good choice on your blog name by the way.
Don’t even think about looking forward to shootouts! They still remain a miserable blight upon the regular season. Though a few more of those points are going to be crucial indeed.
I don’t think I’ll sleep easy tonight either, before my early Saturday morning train to DC for the home opener.
Have a good ride down, Pepper. Perhaps we’ll bump into each other at the game.
See, I really can’t sleep!
I’ll be wearing last season’s home Clark sweater tomorrow night for anyone who wants to shout out “Pepper” on the concourse. (My new customized uniform system hasn’t yet arrived.)
I, appropriately, will be nattily attired in my old school #16 Gustafsson (the only sweater I don’t have from the past is the old school red… gotta somehow swindle OrderedChaos out of his red Hunter)

After all the predictions the other day that had the Caps squeaking into the 8th, or maybe even 7th, playoff……
