The State of the Capitals’ Union, January 2010

27 January, 2010

Red Army, fellow Washington puckheads, late January again finds the Washington Capitals in an enviable competitive position: in first place — by a Grand Canyon chasm — in the Southeast division, but also first overall in the Eastern conference. And of late, establishing some separation from the rest of the East. The Capitals’ brand of [...]

New Captain of the Hockey Team — and the City

7 January, 2010

There are inherent and intrinsic limitations to which outsiders — which includes everyone on planet Earth not wearing a Capitals’ sweater for a living — can comment on the appropriateness of a hockey team’s selection of its captain. This is especially the case with a team like the Capitals, who’ve been forged and assembled with [...]

Avert Your Eyes Away from Fresh Media Malfeasance

5 January, 2010

Nature Herself this week is condemning local media, freezing hard and fast our Canal and urging us to recreate outside, far away from media’s maelstrom of malfeasance. Once again, burgundy and gold incompetence is being feted and celebrated by the local press. Our hockey team’s captain was traded a week ago and hardly any of [...]

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 [...]

Road Woes and Missed Chances for the Caps

19 December, 2009

Maybe it was the road trip catching up to them, but one thing is for sure, the Washington Capitals certainly did not take advantage of the chances they had against the Vancouver Canucks. Nicklas Backstrom’s failed conversion of Ovi’s centering pass in the early going foreshadowed a night of just coming up short. And of [...]

"Our goal isn't to win the first round; our goal is to win all the rounds."

30 April, 2009

Ever wonder how Bruce Boudreau is able to coach when the noise level at the Verizon Center is deafening? Gustafsson was able to ask that question and more during a conference call this afternoon. Here’s some highlights from the call with Gabby:

How About Some High School Hockey?

12 December, 2008

If you’re going to the Caps – Sens game on Friday and that just isn’t enough hockey for you, consider staying for the game after the game.  We received this info from OFB reader Andy LoPresto:
I’m writing as a loyal reader and Capitals fan who thought you might be
interested in an outreach program the Caps [...]

Just Call Him Mr. Glass

11 December, 2008
