Wishing for a Special Forces Mindset

13 May, 2011

Big news — the Red Wings are out of the playoffs, prematurely. Prematurely for them of course is anything short of securing the Cup. The seasons change, some faces change, the objective though for the Wings ever remains the same. I was struck at the ferocity and domination with which Detroit skated in periods two [...]

An Exchange with the Red Wings Blogosphere

16 March, 2011

In the interest of hockey, making fun of ourselves, and just promoting good diplomatic relations up north, OFB was pretty stoked when one of Detroit’s hockey blogs, The Production Line, reached out last week and suggested doing a Q&A between the two blogs in honor of the Caps/Red Wings showdown on Wednesday. TPL is run [...]

A Guy Who Truly Loved The Game

14 October, 2010

Kirk Maltby looked out of place standing with Red Wings General Manager Ken Holland yesterday. Not only was he in a suit, but the, now former, NHL pest broke into tears as he said his goodbye to his career in NHL.

How It’s Gonna Shake Out in Round One

14 April, 2010

We asked our OFB Young Guns, Andrew and Alex, to piece together an overview of the first round of the NHL playoffs. It’s an overview not necessarily designed to wager on, but if you do, and if you win with these picks, remember us when next you see us at Clyde’s. Eastern Conference The Capitals [...]

A Lesson in Supply and Demand

18 February, 2010

I received the annual email from the Washington Capitals today to renew season tickets for the 2010-11 season.

This year’s increase in price? Approximately 32%.

Ouch.

Good Teams Win Lucky When They’re Not Good

20 January, 2010

In the early 1980s, as the Washington Capitals matured from doormat to strong Patrick division challenger to the dynastic Islanders, it wasn’t uncommon for them to skate in dominant fashion against established and elite teams and come up short. I thought about those Capitals’ teams on Tuesday night, as the 2010 Capitals, the East’s elite, [...]

What To Expect When the Winged Wheelers Roll into Washington

19 January, 2010

Being from Detroit I have a some fluency with what is happening this season to Motown’s Winged Wheelers. The back-to-back defending Western Conference champions have had their share of struggles, but they are not a team to overlook. Despite their struggles the Wings remain just as potent a threat sans Marian Hossa, Johan Franzen, and [...]

OFB Undergraduates Unleashed — Home for the Holidays and Hockey

14 December, 2009

We asked our two undergraduate associates, Andrew Tomlinson and Alexander Perlmutter, both liberated from their respective universities for the holidays this week, to detail what this winter break would mean to them in terms of taking in pucks without the obligations of class schedules, term papers or exams looming. Turns out neither has interest in [...]
