We Got Slightly Atwitter Over Marcus Johansson Yesterday

19 November, 2010

It is the season for families to unite, convene in good cheer and warm embrace and, over seasonal spirits and large-portion meals, share a year’s worth of trials and triumphs, and spiritedly debate politics and sports, and soon thereafter rupture in high-pitched acrimony and pride- and esteem-smarting dispute. Ah, the holidays. Without the spirits or [...]

OFB TV: Could the Caps Be ‘Zubrus-ing’ Marcus Johansson?

18 November, 2010

We leave the Caps’ 4-2 triumph over Buffalo with a “big-picture” concern related to rookie Marcus Johansson, and my colleague and mentor warmly remembers my 21st birthday of last week.

Washington Capitals' Playoff Math Redux

3 April, 2008

The Washington Capitals’ season is down to the proverbial wire: one or two games remain for each of the teams in the Eastern Conference race, and that race is tighter than fitting these guys into adjacent Metro Rail seats. The Capitals received some help last night from New Jersey, who kept Boston to just one [...]

Buzz Trades, a Big Game, a Big-Buzz Atmosphere Stream of Consciousness

27 February, 2008

Was in the then MCI Center the night of March 13, 2001 — also deadline day — when earlier in the day GMGM dealt Zednik and Bulis and a pick to Montreal for Zubrus and Linden, and the mood in last night’s rink felt larger and more significant . . . that dealmaking carried a [...]

Caps' Season Overview: "A Work in Progress"

9 April, 2007

From our vantage, the Washington Capitals have not yet assembled the key roster pieces that ownership and management need to supplement the rebuilding blocks laid during the first two post-lockout seasons — and which can deliver the Caps to springtime viability. Even prior to the trade of Dainius Zubrus, the team lacked a true first-line, [...]

Missing a Vitally Important Middle Man

15 March, 2007

Dainius Zubrus was last in action in Washington the weekend of February 24, when the team had a home-and-home set with New Jersey. The team played fantastic on the road that Saturday, easily winning 4-2, a late Devils’ goal making the game appear closer than it actually was. The Caps lost a nailbiter rematch on [...]
