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 [...]

A Change of Fortune and Fate in the Crease

20 April, 2010

Well, who has the goaltender controversy now? And, how’s that Caps’ defense look right about now? For a team that was rather thoroughly maligned for its defensive play upon arriving in Montreal on Sunday, the Capitals in game 3 gave a doozie of a debunking of that slur. Did you notice how seldom Habs’ forwards [...]

Maybe . . . Just Maybe . . . NBC Wishes It Had Run Hockey Last Night

22 February, 2010

Before we address last night’s U.S.-Canada showdown, a word of hello from the Capitals’ captain to the former Capitals’ quitter, at Olympic center ice, in Super Sunday’s first big game: Can’t watch that too often, can we?

The re-recording took place last Monday in Hollywood, where Peart lives.  According to Sabian, Peart’s cymbals’ source, “He arranged a drum part that is distinctly Peart [...]

OFB Correspondent Saturday Night-Seated in a Hockey Cathedral

28 November, 2009

Alexandre Giroux apparently purchased 14 tickets for tonight’s game in Montreal. Mathieu Perreault was on the hook for 17. Our own Gary Κriebel purchased just two, for his wife and himself in a one-night getaway fit of fun from the far-reaching demands of domesticity. His aim is to provide updates about a wide range of [...]

A Marvel of Movement: The Game-in-Another-City-the-Next-Night Hockey Club

23 November, 2009

If you think the traffic and action are heavy in and around the goal crease of an NHL game, you ought to see the busy-bodiness of an NHL club trying to shower, do media, dress, pack up its gear, and catch a bus and a plane to a city more than 500 miles away for [...]

"Washington is, indeed, asking around about goalies"

21 December, 2008

The particulars? Nylander and a pick for …
