Farewell to a Broadcast King

1 September, 2011

As summer comes to a close we learn of another important and impassioned media voice for hockey leaving Washington for an exciting career opportunity. Comcast Sportsnet’s Russ Thaler begins the on-air portion of a new chapter in his broadcast career with NBC Sports next week, having worked as an original talent at Sportsnet Mid-Atlantic since [...]

OFB TV: Comcast Sportsnet’s Jill Sorenson on Washington Blooming in Pucks This Spring

28 April, 2011

We had a chance to visit with Jill Sorenson of Comcast Sportsnet recently and call her out for some Avery-like behavior during the media skate the Capitals held at season’s start. More importantly, Jill shared with us some first-hand accounts of how dramatically and beautifully Washington is hearting its Capitals this spring. And we extracted [...]

A Warrior Moment To Remember for the Red Army

24 April, 2011

The Capitals may or may not go on to enjoy a prosperous and lengthy run in the 2011 NHL postseason. This morning, all we know for sure is that things are a heck of a lot better in late April 2011 than they were in late April of 2010. What’s certain however is that no [...]

OFB TV: Catching Up with Dmitri Orlov

5 March, 2011

Yesterday morning the Hershey Bears practiced at their grand old barn, Hersheypark Arena. I drove up for the practice with Ben Raby of Comcast Sportsnet and WTOP radio. Raby had never been inside HPA before, and he had the same reaction everyone else does on a first visit: love at first sight. Ben also helped [...]

‘Saturday Night Caps’ Blogger Insights

17 January, 2011

This past Saturday night I joined Off Wing Opinion’s Eric McErlain, Comcast Sportsnet’s hockey blogger Ben Raby, and veteran Capitals’ radio reporter Jonathon Warner in studio for Federal News Radio’s ‘Saturday Night Caps.’ Federal News Radio is the flagship station for the Capitals’ radio broadcasts, and Warner has been championing a ‘bloggers’ roundtable’ on his [...]

“Unfamiliar Territory” — Also, Intolerable

13 December, 2010

Can a legitimate Stanley Cup contender lose any hockey game by a touchdown — and to a middle-of-the-pack outfit at that? “Unfamiliar territory” is where the Caps are these days, according to the head coach after Sunday night’s preposterous 7-0 humiliation at the sticks of the New York Rangers. Incredibly, the Rangers had merely 20 [...]

Giving Thanks for Being in the Nation’s Hockey Capital

24 November, 2010

In the spirit of the season, I offer a list of 10 things I’m thankful for while commissioned in the Red Army this fall. (10) The Moxie of Matt Hendricks. The longshot training camp candidate won a checking line center’s job with solid play and especially an ethos of holding Caps’ opponents accountable for their [...]

Dishonoring the Crest

23 November, 2010

We all have bad days at the office. Occasionally, we all have really bad days at the office. You know the ones — things start going wrong at 8:45, improve none over the course of the morning, lunch hour mercifully arrives to deliver a reprieve, and then things actually manage to get worse in the [...]

Postgame Live Chat Tonight

22 November, 2010

Similar to last season, tonight I’ll be hosting a chat on CSN Washington after the Caps-Devils game. The chat will be here. Please join me to share your thoughts about the game and discuss exciting topics such as the Devils’ woes and Erskine’s mustache (which, incidentally, would be a great band name). See you tonight!
