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 [...]

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.

Late-Night Gamewatch Duty Falls Upon the Young

16 December, 2009

One of the virtues of having undergraduate associates is that they can be assigned to monitor West Coast games while we old geezers hit the hay around period two for work in the morning. Take it away, night owls: 1st Period Andrew’s take: It is hard to make a definitive decision for or against the [...]

Say Hello to a Series of Sixty Minutes of Quality Hockey

8 December, 2009

Three periods of complete hockey from this team that had gone conspicuously long this season without them now arrive nightly, in successive fashion. It wasn’t there to begin the roadtrip in Montreal, but the Caps got the win that night in a shootout. Carolina two nights later was a step in the right direction. And [...]

"Absolutely No One Wants To Play Against The Washington Capitals"

3 April, 2008

OFB had locker room video to edit after Tuesday night’s victory over Carolina and found inspiring and productive workspace inside Verizon Center’s Green Turtle. We were able to catch up with Craig Laughlin there. He was gracious enough to answer a few questions for us and impart some terrific insights.

Leafs TV? How About Caps' TV?

2 October, 2007

Apprised of Comcast’s commitment to the Caps this week, I turned on Comcast SportsNet the moment I arrived home from work Monday night, and left it there. What I watched over the next four hours stunned me. I saw new Comcast Caps’ beat reporter Lisa Hillary studio host a season preview alongside Joe Reekie. I [...]

Hockey 'n Heels Round-up

27 February, 2007

The Washington Capitals hosted the inaugural “Hockey ‘n Heels” event on Monday February 26, 2007. The event was intended to bring more female fans to the game by showcasing skills, rules and behind the scenes looks at the players. Over 250 women signed up and the event was a complete sell out.
