The A’s Grueling Grind, and a Carousel of Goalies

9 March, 2011

The Hershey Bears (39-21-1-4) dropped a shootout decision in Portland, Maine, last night. Let’s just hope their bus driver is fresher than the skaters he’ll convoy through week’s end. When John Walton told me last weekend that beginning Saturday night the club was embarking upon a seven-games-in-nine-day stretch, I didn’t quite believe him. I actually [...]

DJ Stretch: Pumping Up the Volume of Verizon Center

16 November, 2010

There was something mischievously odd about the smirk on Brett Leonhardt’s face as he approached me in the Verizon Center pre-game press box a few weeks back. “Did you hear ‘Tom Sawyer’?” he asked me, alluding to the ’80s Rush classic that’s long been a staple of hockey arena soundtracks the continent over. “I played [...]

Puck Talk on D.C. Radio This Weekend

9 April, 2010

With transitional weather returned upon us, you have a better cause for sticking indoors near a radio this weekend than last for a bit, although you’d do well to begin each and every Saturday morning with a cup-a-joe and Stephen Pepper and his Japers’ Rink Radio program. Pepper, in additon to being a talented blogger, [...]

From the Author of Gabby, a First-Rate Take on New Media and Hockey

18 January, 2010

A reporter of Tim Leone’s accomplishments and stature doesn’t need any advice from me on how to tackle a story, but when he interviewed me last month about bloggers and their role in covering the Caps, I emphasized the importance of talking to Off Wing Opinion’s Eric McErlain. With my Sunday morning diner coffee in [...]

Goaltending 3.0: Brett Leonhardt’s Ongoing Development as a Goaltender

12 December, 2009

This weekend marks the one-year anniversary of Capitals’ website production specialist Brett Leonhardt signing an amateur tryout contract, donning goalie pads and dressing in a Caps’ sweater, and taking warmups and briefly serving as a backup goalie for a regular season NHL game. It was one of the better feel-good stories of the 2008-09 NHL season. (Recommended [...]
