One Final Chapter Remains

27 April, 2010

In general, having lived through each and every Capitals’ postseason series, I’m not a big fan of surging to a 3-1 series lead and injecting needless drama into them by making unheralded opposition netminders look like Johnny Bower or Glen Hall. Here we go again. This trauma we suddenly confront, it’s all my fault. Last [...]

Hugs Instead of Handshakes

25 April, 2010

Apologies for being a bit AWOL this weekend; I had a wonderful off-ice intrusion of real life: a remarkable gathering of high school brothers — we don’t call one another classmates, for reasons I’m about to detail — for our 25th reunion at our school campus in Bethesda this weekend. We had a guy fly [...]

Suddenly, It’s a Short Series Again

22 April, 2010

We’ll get to Boyd Gordon’s remarkable shorthanded, late second period heroics in a minute. But first, you can see the way this whole thing in the East is setting up, can’t you? The Caps are all but certain to move on, vanquishing the 8th seed and drawing next the 7th — Philly — in a [...]

A Change of Fortune and Fate in the Crease

20 April, 2010

Well, who has the goaltender controversy now? And, how’s that Caps’ defense look right about now? For a team that was rather thoroughly maligned for its defensive play upon arriving in Montreal on Sunday, the Capitals in game 3 gave a doozie of a debunking of that slur.
