A Priceless Goal

16 January, 2012

Early in the third period Sunday, Capitals forward Jason Chimera made a move up the left wing into the Carolina Hurricanes’ zone. Usually, his speed means he’s there by himself, but today, thanks to what seemed a more deliberate pace, there was company—Joel Ward on the opposite boards, and in the center rookie defenseman Dmitry [...]

Are Slightly Shorter Shifts Helping the Caps’ Third Line?

26 November, 2011

For the first quarter of the Capitals’ 2011-2012 season, there was much deserved attention around what started out as the third line of Jason Chimera, Brooks Laich, and Joel Ward.  Chimera is leading the team in goals, and, when giving interviews after his two-goal game Wednesday, he credited much of that success to semi-regular linemates [...]

Caps Players (Try To) Remember Their First Opening Night on an NHL Roster

8 October, 2011

Oct. 5, 2006. Oct. 8, 2010. Those were the dates Mike Green and John Carlson made their NHL opening night debuts on an NHL roster (both with the Capitals). Green played over  17 minutes in his game. Carlson played over 18 minutes in his. But neither really remember much about it. “Honestly, I can’t even [...]

Jason Takes Manhattan

25 April, 2011

Due to licensing issues, the Capitals can’t release the video that was shown before Game 5′s Opening Video. But Caps Fan “LuvdCaps” has everyone’s back. Though not the same quality had the Caps Game Entertainment staff been able to release it, it’s not bad. Enjoy. And thanks, LuvdCaps.

A Special Night’s Imagery in Old Media

21 April, 2011

A tale of two much different looking front pages for big dailies on Thursday, with the Washington Post offering a rare but much welcomed exhibit of Capitals’ playoff triumph above the fold, in glorious color, while the New York Daily News wallowed in its city’s hockey heartache and agony. The Post’s Metro section on Thursday [...]

A Bad Matchup Indeed — for New York

16 April, 2011

This Rangers club was supposed to be a bad matchup for these Capitals. Big up front, racsally around the net, opportunistic offensively, a good defensive club backstopped by a premiere netminder. Turns out, the Capitals are a very bad matchup for New York. Through two games in this opening round series it’s the Capitals playing [...]

The Good, the Bad, and the Bloody

1 April, 2011

After John Erskine and Jared Boll dropped the gloves Thursday, a quality fight’s memory got lost in the aftermath of Erskine leaving the game in the next period as an injury “precautionary” measure, according to Bruce Boudreau, which forced the Capitals to rotate 5 defensemen for the remainder of the game. But it was a [...]

Readers React: On Thoroughbreds Being Asked To Be Clydesdales

31 January, 2011

I’m highly suspicious of the likelihood that the actual jockey for the great Secretariat, Ron Turcotte, is an OFB reader; nonetheless, a commenter identifying himself as such had over the weekend what I regarded as the best reflection related to my Saturday morning cup-a-joe, which dropped the gloves on this stinker of a Caps’ season: [...]

The View from Charlottesville (Take II)

23 January, 2011

Will speedster Jason Chimera shift the Caps’ first line into high gear? Also, hockey ratings are on the rise… but you wouldn’t know it to watch the “Worldwide Leader in Sports.”
