Cartoon Classic: Hockey Homicide

26 October, 2008

For your Sunday morning cartoon-viewing pleasure: The Loose Leafs take on the Ant Eaters in this 1945 Disney classic starring Goofy and, apparently, thousands of Goofy clones. Despite the oddly disturbing ‘toon title, it’s good stuff:

It's Hockey Movie Night Again During the Holidays in D.C.

25 October, 2008

Last year in the middle of the holidays we helped spread the word about a single-night screening of ‘The Rocket’ at the historic Avalon Theater in Northwest D.C. We’re doing the same thing this year — Washington is hosting another night at the movies to celebrate hockey. On Monday night, November 17, at 8:00, puckheads [...]

Now This Is Hockey

We love the Bruins’ Milan Lucic. This is why:

Trouble Signing

24 October, 2008

I agree with JP — the Erskine signing’s a serious head-scratcher. He entered this season lodged somewhere between 7th and 9th on the Caps’ blueline depth chart. When you think about his skill set (such as it is), you don’t quite come up with the prototype rearguard in the renovated NHL. Really — on any [...]

Promising Pros of Tomorrow Have Compelling Stories To Tell Today

23 October, 2008

The hockey crowd in Hershey has had good sport with me over the past couple of years with my exuberance over some Caps’ hockey prospects. This is a chief symptom of the DraftGeek. I’d only watched Andrew Gordon’s games at St. Cloud St. on television (but, three-years’ worth!); I saw even less of Mathieu Perreault [...]

Note to the Oilers: The Internet Is On Computers Now

23 October, 2008

If I’ve learned nothing else from Homer Simpson (and I haven’t), it’s that any idiot can attempt to use the Internet for personal gain. Case in point: the Edmonton Oilers. The only problem is that they don’t seem to understand exactly what’s out there on the Internet. We’ve already covered this topic, and I don’t [...]

A Would-Be Zebra's Code of Behavior

22 October, 2008

A morning shower train of thought: were I an NHL referee, how would players, coaches, and fans commonly characterize my officiating style? For starters, I would¬†well withstand¬†charges of blindness; thanks to Lasik, I’m a fella who can read the tiny scroll on the corner hanging television viewed from the tavern’s most secluded corner. But more [...]

2-1 Yawner as PP Woes Linger

22 October, 2008

Q: What do you get when you have over 11 minutes of power play time? A: 5 shots and no goals, if you’re the Capitals in Calgary. The Caps’ poor power play continued tonight in their loss to the Flames; apparently the Capitals were as sleepy as their fans due to the late-for-east-coasters start. Yes, [...]

Team Building with the Army

22 October, 2008

Before the season started, the Caps went on a team building field trip.  Here is their report: Tap of the stick to Alex Ovetjkin for the assist.
