A Pain Unlike Any Other

17 May, 2010

Two weeks ago, beginning merely hours after the Habs snuffed us out of the postseason, I noticed a precipitous drop-off in the traffic of colleagues about my office. An appropriate intuition and empathy enveloped them, affording me the imperative buffer I needed from the rest of humanity who follows common, mainstream sports. My colleagues just knew to treat me like a stranger on an elevator.

It’s an overview not necessarily designed to wager on, but if you do, and if you win with these picks, remember us when next you see us at Clyde’s. Eastern Conference The Capitals [...]

Bounceback for the Backstop

6 April, 2010

A lead storyline for the Capitals the past couple of days has been the bounce-back performance of Jose Theodore. After injecting a scare of his old inconsistent self last week, Theo was rock solid in Columbus Saturday night and he followed that vintage performance with another outstanding effort last night: 28 saves and a second [...]

Dateline Philly: It’s Schadenfreude in (Early) Spring

3 April, 2010

This Holy Week, I’m having most un-Holy thoughts: Die Philly, Die! And may it be an agonizing demise as well. Heaven here is defined as an NHL postseason excluding both Pennsylvania hockey clubs, but it’s a good spring indeed if one of them misses out. It isn’t just that we enjoy, more so than good [...]

Fun with Video on a Rainy Weekend

14 March, 2010

If ever there was a Blockbuster/NetFlix video weekend, it’s this one in D.C. — maybe five inches of rain Noah’s Ark-ing us across the region. Fortunately, hockey has no shortage of video material to amuse us by. Just this week, thanks to Puck Daddy, we learned of the existence of a marvelous line of clips [...]

Winter Classic III: Hits and Misses

2 January, 2010

There’s a 108 percent chance of the Capitals participating in the 2011 Winter Classic, unless you believe that the NHL would like to see another dump-and-chase exhibition seriously limited in its offensive prowess competency. Through two periods Saturday the novice hockey viewer at home could have been forgiven for believing that teams were penalized for shooting [...]

Bloggers Bounce Questions off of Eddie O

10 December, 2009

The NHL yesterday hosted a bloggers-only conference call with NBC color guy Ed Olczyk, in conjunction with the league rolling out its on-site preparations at Fenway Park for the Winter Classic. We were fortunate enough to be invited to participate, and I’d swiftly sign up for the next call with Olczyk. He was sincere and engaging, thoughtfully [...]
