Amid Euphoria, a Family Affair

16 June, 2010

I watched John Carlson skate around Giant Center ice in the early moments of his team’s Calder title celebration Monday night with a cell phone to his ear, his eyes scanning the stands, and in that moment I thought of another Captain America in skates, Jim Craig, 30 years earlier, and his iconic search for [...]

Top of the Tweet for the Week of December 5

6 December, 2009

We thought it might be fun and interesting to highlight Top Tweets from the Captials’ Twitter community we came across during the past week. And we’ll probably offer up a roundup of Top Tweets each week. This week was filled with talk of Ovi’s hit and style of play, the Philadelphia massacre, some vague indiscretion [...]

The Importance of Being a January Baby

30 September, 2008

Chris Bourque, Mathieu Perreault, and John Carlson all enjoyed standout training camps with the Washington Capitals this month. Bourque is still enjoying his. To slightly varying degrees, all three enjoyed prodigy player status early on in their hockey careers. On a hunch, I checked their respective birth dates. All three share the birth month of [...]

It's Getting Dazzling in the Competition for the Duchesne Cup

22 September, 2008

This Gaetan Duchesne Cup competition, I’m starting to really dig it; I think the Caps may well wanna keep it around a while. Sunday’s first scrimmage was entertaining and good fun, but Monday’s, which featured Alexander Ovechkin in a competitive environment for the first time in the 2008 camp, was on a whole ‘nother level [...]

Ahead, a Promising Harvest on the Farm

15 July, 2008

Development camps such as that recently completed by the Capitals have a way of imbuing DraftGeeks and even the more balanced of hockey fan with horizons of heightened optimism. Always it seems there are a handful of young standouts there, among them compelling stories of no-name collegians or free agents making next-season names for themselves. [...]
