Size, of Body and Heart, Matters — Especially in 2012

31 December, 2011

Instructive moment: Rangers’ captain Ryan Callahan, made captain at so tender an age partly out of his affinity for playing December hockey games like they’re game 7s in May, blocked a John Carlson slapshot at the point the other night, and the selfless sacrifice led to a Rangers goal in transition seconds later. The block [...]

Take 2 – Playoff Opening Video

19 April, 2011

Yes, we posted the playoff opening video the other day. The Caps just posted another view of the video giving a better look and feel of the arena. You have a camera on the arena to the left, the video board to the right, and the upper and lower LED boards above and below the video respectfully. It’s worth another look, especially if you were not able to attend game 1 or 2.

In a Season of High Hopes, Instead We Have High Crimes and Misdemeanors

14 January, 2011

A political bumper sticker of some years back read, ‘If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.’ “Outrage” by local hockey fans may be too strong a term to apply with respect to the 2010-11 Washington Capitals in this most unexpected, most irregular regular season tour of duty, but I think if you’re not at [...]

Still a Work in Progress: Skating with Killer Instinct

7 December, 2010

Who knew HBO cameras would arrive in town this week to begin filming a horror movie? Monday night at Verizon Center was a drama that took a horrific turn for the hosts in the game’s final 10 minutes, when a Capitals’ club combined a lethargic work ethic with too soft a shell in their own [...]

OFB TV: Bs Best the Caps as Neuvirth Falls Ill

20 October, 2010

Milan Lucic-type players don’t grow on trees, of course, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a power forward who on a nightly basis was a credible threat to record a Gordie Howe hat trick? Lucic was Tuesday night’s well-deserved first star. He’s Old Time Hockey in the very best sense. The Bruins, by virtue [...]

Blueline by a Less Than Bruising Committee (Again)

8 July, 2010

The good news: the Caps yesterday spent nearly $12 million on their less than intimidating blueline. The bad news: all of it went to Jeff Schultz. Intimidation quotient on the back end remains unchanged. Level of difficulty playing with the puck in the Caps’ end? Unchanged. Now for the really bad news: George McPhee wasn’t [...]

Needed: An Oil Change and a New Set of Tires

29 June, 2010

Too often during the 2009-10 hockey season the Capitals rotated tires with well-worn treads when what they really needed — most especially back on the blueline — was a new set of Pirellis. A pair of Pirelli models named Carlson and Alzner arrived together late — too late (game 7) — to save the sportscar [...]

So Much for the Notion of a Short Series

16 April, 2010

Thursday was Alexander Ovechkin’s first NHL playoff game as captain of the Washington Capitals. It was one he would rather forget. The Capitals in game one of their first-round series against Montreal fired 47 shots on Habs’ netminder Jaroslav Halak. Ovechkin didn’t have a single one of them. Not one, through nearly four periods of [...]
