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 [...]

Better Living Through Chemistry

29 December, 2009

Chemistry can be a fickle mistress. The Washington Capitals were Exhibit A tonight, turning in one of their worst first periods in a very long time and a messy game overall.

The trade of Chris Clark and Milan Jurcina to Columbus caught the players — even those involved in the trade — by surprise, and the team were not in sync when the puck dropped against the Carolina Hurricanes.

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 the [...]

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 [...]

Now That's Vanquishing a Hated Foe

7 November, 2008

Musings from an unexpectedly madhouse rink in Chinatown: A season-altering triumph? It sure had that feeling in the immediate aftermath of a cardiac comeback against the ‘Canes. The Caps were three minutes shy of starting off an important homestand with a frustrating loss to their fiercest and most hated Southeast foe. Then, in keeping with [...]

Hockey Sweater Obsessives, Your Ship Has Arrived

10 October, 2008

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 [...]
