A Predator and a Pretty Girl

1 November, 2010

Two things are terribly wrong with this video. First, Philadelphia’s Danny Briere claims that his head-hunting of Saturday night, for which he was suspended a modest three games by the NHL (as a “repeat offender” in his own words), was “more like a push.” Yea, and Isles’ netminder Rick DiPietro is accustomed to instigating a [...]

A Second-Period Stampede

31 October, 2010

How cool would it be to be an Ovechkin-sweatered Capitals’ supporter, ticketed to a Hockey Night in Canada affair between the Caps and a Great White North club way far away from D.C., and to be standing in a beer line just moments after the Gr8 has broken Canuck hearts in the building with jaw-dropping [...]

Bloggers and Big Media, in Chorus

11 October, 2010

Last week I alluded to a relatively new-found synergy that local hockey blogs have been enjoying with local Big Media, and here’s sampling of it. Both Comcast Sportsnet and the Washington Post solicited participation from Washington’s hockey bloggers over the weekend as part of their respective season kickoff coverage of NHL hockey. The Post asked [...]

Local Blogger Voices, Embraced by Local Big Media

7 October, 2010

Quick note from the new media front: I just left Comcast Sportsnet’s Bethesda studios and offices, where I joined Dmitry Chesnokov on set with Russ Thaler to chat pucks for some TV and web segments at the dawn of a new season. Thaler is back on the Caps’ beat this season, which necessarily means improved [...]

Notes from a Subdued Friday After Thursday’s High Drama

25 September, 2010

Friday at camp offered a striking contrast in atmosphere relative to Thursday. No big-news presser, no buzz over a free agent’s hat trick from a game the night before, and when Gabby met the media near 2:00 there was only the Washington Post’s Katie Carrera and yours truly there with questions for the coach. The exchange lasted all of about 5 minutes.

Debut of the Ewell Cup

22 September, 2010

There were actually two sets of fierce competition out of the ice at KCI yesterday. The Duchesne Cup was decided during Tuesday’s lunch hour, but that was followed by the main event: the inaugural Ewell Cup, named for the host of the annual media skate, Capitals’ Vice President of Communications, Nate Ewell. WNST’s Ed Frankovic [...]

An Offseason in Bullets (with, Hopefully Soon, Our Old Bullets Back)

6 September, 2010

Let’s say that like me you approached this offseason as an occasion to distance yourself from hockey a bit, to treat our sport’s summer developments with comparative indifference relative to recent years. First-round flameouts by Cup heavies can breed that. And enduring an all-time hot summer here made thoughts puck tougher to come by. No [...]

Via CSN Washington: For our money, the rat is still the best clip. And kudos to Chick for the multiple digs at Philadelphia.

The Summer of Fat Albert Brings Bad News for the Hockey Beat

25 August, 2010

At the very top of the hockey media hierarchy here there have been ominous departures this summer — Tarik El Bashir is pursuing new beats within the Post’s sports department, ones which won’t require anywhere near the travel commitments the hockey beat does, while Lisa Hillary is bolting to cover the Flyers for Comcast in [...]
