A Second-Period Stampede

31 October, 2010

How cool would it be to be an Ovechkin-sweatered Capitals’ supporter, ticketed to a Hockey Night in Canada affair between the Caps and a Great White North club way far away from D.C., and to be standing in a beer line just moments after the Gr8 has broken Canuck hearts in the building with jaw-dropping [...]

Desperation Meets Disinterest, with Predictable Results

28 March, 2010

It was a dangerous and desperate Calgary Flames hockey club that visited Verizon Center Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, their league-leading hosts hoped to clinch, with but a single standings point, the Eastern Conference title. Translation: a mismatch of priority intensity. Still, it was stunning to see this Capitals club dominated as thoroughly as it was by [...]

A One-Time No. 3 in Net Now Looks Like a No. 1

9 November, 2008

It is terrific news that this morning the Capitals’ starting goaltender boasts a .929 save percentage and a 2.12 goals-against, both statistics good enough for 6th-best in their respective categories in the entire league. You would think your team could go pretty far with such play between the pipes. It is a little surprising, however, [...]

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, [...]

Paul Lukas of Uni Watch fame has published his NHL preview, chock full of hockey uniform photos from new sweaters, to memorial patches, to the sneaky “C” that Roberto Luongo added to his mask since by NHL rules no goaltender may wear the captaincy “C” on his jersey. So if you’re into the details of [...]

First-Round Flops Over the Years

20 June, 2008

No team can get it right in round one every year, even drafting very high. And at times all teams get it really wrong then. A survey such as this is a powerful reminder of the crapshoot that is selecting 18-year-old hockey players. However, it is also an invitation for fans to react with, “What [...]
