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 [...]

Being Down One Superstar Isn’t So Bad

17 March, 2010

What is important to pull from last night’s victory is not that the Washington Capitals crushed the Florida Panthers, but rather the way they went about doing it.

Mixed Returns on a Roadtrip Through the Southeast

14 January, 2010

You get the feeling, don’t you, that this Capitals’ club isn’t configured as it will be for springtime hockey. Last season the team had a trait of seeming to play up or down to the competition relative to an opponent’s position in the standings. This season there have been goaltending issues, injuries, important maturity by [...]

Step One to Southeast Deconstruction?

Making Sense of Mike Duco’s Penalty Madness on the Scoresheet

4 December, 2009

Reader Patrick sent us this query this morning, and it’s interesting enough that we thought we’d share it with all OFB readers, as well as address it having received some very helpful clarification from the Caps:  “Last night in the game Duco came off the bench and got the fight. He was penalized 7 minutes, 2 minute minor [...]

Dumbing Down Hockey Mike Duco Style

4 December, 2009

Prior to Thursday night, I had no idea who Mike Duco was. Going forward, I’m not sure I’m going to hear much about him that’s flattering. It was the Florida Panthers’ Mike Duco, making his second appearance in an NHL sweater, who took leave of his senses and attacked the Caps’ Alexandre Giroux in the [...]
