July's Much-Needed Hockey Fix

6 July, 2007

Boz penned a persuasive piece on the great value offered up by Tiger Woods and Congressional Country Club this week. He’s right — $25 admission, and no parking charge, for a full day in the sun on one of the most beautiful pieces of property in the region is a value day very well spent. [...]

Capitals Youngsters on NHL.com

11 June, 2007

Robert Picarello provides a taste of things to come in DC on NHL.com, profiling several players in the Capitals’ youth movement. The focus is on Nicklas Backstrom (of course), Sami Lepisto, Patrick McNeill, Andrew Gordon, and Michal Neuvirth. While the article overlooks other intriguing prospects like Francois Bouchard, it’s a good snapshot of the impressive [...]

The Don't-Forget-About-Us Guys

23 May, 2007

The Nick Backstrom signing is exciting in and of itself, but it also breeds a bit of an anticipatory momentum: in this summer of change, what’s next? 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 [...]

Huge Weekend for the Hershey Bears

13 April, 2007

This is an extraordinary weekend for the Hershey Bears. Here’s the lowdown: They defeat Wilkes Barre Friday night on the road, either in regulation or overtime, and they win the American League’s East Division and they secure the best overall record in the entire American Hockey League. In other words, home ice advantage all the [...]

Prospects, Like Cherry Trees, Blossoming All About D.C.

4 April, 2007

Let’s dispense with the obvious from the outset: Olie Kolzig enjoyed his first shutout since the winter of 2004 with all four members of OFB monitoring the feat from press row. Should the organization, in 2007-08, respond by setting aside four leather recliners for us up there? Seems mildly excessive. I really enjoy being around [...]

Andrew Gordon Is a Cap

3 April, 2007

Today’s St. Cloud Times reports that yesterday the Caps inked forward prospect Andrew Gordon of the WCHA’s St. Cloud State Huskies to a three-year deal. The account is one hockey fans would do well to peruse, as it’s distinctive in empahsizing Gordon’s intense struggle to choose between starting his pro career and leaving an ascendent [...]

Early Returns from College Hockey's Most Chaotic Weekend

25 March, 2007

I have friends who are spirited WCHA partisans, and for a week now I’ve heard moans and groans from them about their conference being slighted by the NCAA selection committee. The WCHA placed three teams in the field of 16 — Minnesota, North Dakota, and St. Cloud. My friends correctly noted: the past five NCAA [...]

Knee-jerk double-feature: UND vs. SCS and Caps vs. Toronto, 3/16/07

17 March, 2007

As pointed out by fellow OFBer pucksandbooks, there was all kinds of good college hockey on yesterday, so I started my hockey Friday with the University of North Dakota playing St. Cloud State in the WCHA semi-finals. The game was of interest to Caps fans, as the red-hot, 6th-ranked Fighting Sioux boast Caps’ first-round pick [...]

Morning Cup-a-Joe (2/13/07)

13 February, 2007

What kind of fan does this make me — the Caps aren’t going to qualify for the postseason this year, but I don’t even want them to? I acknowledge that professional athletes have fiery competitiveness in their DNA, and I am aware of GMGM’s longtsanding assertion that there’s a real crapshoot quality to the NHL’s [...]
