Down on the Farm, a Champion’s Resolve

23 January, 2011

It was quite a weekend for the Hershey Bears. Fairly decimated by a bevy of Capitals’ callups late in 2010 and early in the new year, they just keep plugging along: they swept a three-game slate this weekend, outscoring their foes to the tune of 18-5 in the process. The Bears are just 2 points [...]

More Must-See Ovi TV

4 January, 2011

Yes there’s a big game here tonight — first place in the Southeast is on the line — but all the Capitals’ digital community is talking about today is a brand new TV commercial featuring Alexander Ovechkin. He’s made a few good ones this season in his pitch work for CCM. But his latest is [...]

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.

13 September, 2010

Overnight our pal Dmitry Chesnokov passed along a YouTube link to a nifty tally in the new KHL season off the stick of Evgeny Kuznetsov, the Capitals’ first-round selection at this past June’s Entry Draft. Kuznetsov is playing for Traktor Chelyabinsk this season. The Russian play-by-play here doesn’t offer much illumination for us English-speaking Yanks, [...]

Mining for Gems Deep in a Draft’s Bedrock

28 June, 2010

SI.com’s Allan Muir has offered a glowing assessment of the Capitals’ draft work in L.A. this past weekend. George McPhee bolstered his status as a procurer of top-end talent deep in round one, Muir claimed, and the team added skill guys of intrigue afterward. He termed the Caps’ class the “crop we may be talking about most [...]

12 April, 2010

Just a few of you were tuning in to the Masters this weekend while some local hockey media convened in the posh studios of Federal News Radio in Northwest Washington, to chat up the Caps’ remarkable season on Jonathon Warner’s ‘Saturday Night Caps.’  (Our own Mike Rucki coined that program’s name!) We had great fun, [...]

And we’ll probably offer up a roundup of Top Tweets each week. This week was filled with talk of Ovi’s hit and style of play, the Philadelphia massacre, some vague indiscretion [...]
