There’s an Institutional Fight to These ‘Canes

11 March, 2010

A near 100-point team, hosting a hopeless, 60-point team, ought to win comfortably, no? Not when the underdog is the Carolina Hurricanes and the favored adversary is the Caps. The ‘Canes, no matter the month in the calendar, no matter how low the stakes, skate up in the proverbial grill against the Caps just about [...]

‘Deep Depth’ Will Armor the Caps’ Postseason

4 March, 2010

Think back to the glaring vulnerabilities the Washington Capitals tried to hide against the Pittsburgh Penguins last May. Mike Green was pretty beat up, really a shell of his dynamic, record-setting norm, and the Caps played him as if he were healthy. They had to — they had no plan B on the blueline for [...]

Caps Get A Walker For Basically Nothing

3 March, 2010

The Caps made what most people feel is the first of two or more trades today sending a 7th round pick in the 2010 draft to Carolina for forward Scott Walker.
From TSN:
In 32 games this season, the 36-year-old Walker has three goals and two assists with a minus- 5 rating. Since joining the Hurricanes via [...]

Trade Winds, Portending a Mid-Winter Gale?

29 December, 2009

There’s a special buzz-charge in a building on a game night when a big deal has gone down earlier in the day by the host club, but Monday’s game against Southeast basement dweller Carolina lost its buzz early. Jose Theodore, last seen smashing his stick at Kettler last weekend in being-benched-again frustration, returned to the [...]

Step One to Southeast Deconstruction?

10 December, 2009

Here is a tweet that can be filed in the “grain of salt” category. It can also be filed in the “food for thought” category as well. Perhaps it represents the first step toward fixing the decade-long, ever-underwhelming travesty that is the Southeast Division.

Though we follow @nhlsecrets, a tap of the stick on [...]

My Kingdom for a Knee Sprain

1 December, 2009

All of us watching last night, in those first two to three seconds that Alexander Ovechkin remained prone on the RBC Center ice, likely reacted in similar fashion: it’s the Russian Machine, it doesn’t break down like the bodies of other athletes. Of course he’s going to get right back up, shake off the cobwebs, [...]

A Statement Game in a Two-Team Division Race

13 November, 2008

The Caps and ‘Canes entered Wednesday night tied for first in the Southeast with 18 points. It’s rare that you’d ever identify a November game as a “big” one, but with conventional wisdom suggesting that the Southeast champion likely to emerge between Washington and Carolina (they’ve won six of a possible nine Southeast titles), and [...]
