Local Hockey Media Crystal Ball the Postseason

10 April, 2011

We asked some of our favorite local voices covering the Caps to share with us a big-picture overview of this Capitals’ playoff club; specifically, we wanted them to address the team’s goaltending situation, its health, and its relative standing in the Eastern conference. All things big-picture considered, just how far should we expect this club [...]

Killer Comes Home

7 March, 2011

Discovery has its Shark Week; at OFB this week we’ll be celebrating and chronicling the brief but oh so memorable Caps’ career of Kevin ‘Killer’ Kaminski. Cause Killer’s coming home — he’s coming into town this weekend to take in the Caps-Hawks’ game on Sunday, his first visit to D.C. since his playing career ended [...]

Uninspired and Unwatchable

29 January, 2011

Like many in the region, I lost power in my home during Wednesday night’s storm. But I’ve a four-wheel drive and a flatscreen-laden Chili’s nearby, and I really wanted to watch the Capitals’ final game before the All Star break. Bruce Boudreau had identified Wednesday night’s game in Atlanta as a big one. (Like those [...]

Airing Out the Play of the Caps in Month One

11 November, 2010

For me, radio appearances are a total blast. I never pass up an opportunity to go on the air — especially locally — and talk pucks. There’s something distinctive about radio as a media vehicle for conveying passion about a subject. It’s a medium that places a premium on precision of words and inflection and [...]

A Survey of Local Caps’ Media: Evaluating the Offseason

20 September, 2010

In the leadup to this fall’s training camp I reached out to local media long devoted to covering the Caps and asked them to respond to a single line of inquiry: relative to where they imagined the Caps to be as claimants for legitimate Stanley Cup contention in the immediate aftermath of last April’s seven-game [...]

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, [...]

Puck Talk on D.C. Radio This Weekend

9 April, 2010

With transitional weather returned upon us, you have a better cause for sticking indoors near a radio this weekend than last for a bit, although you’d do well to begin each and every Saturday morning with a cup-a-joe and Stephen Pepper and his Japers’ Rink Radio program. Pepper, in additon to being a talented blogger, [...]

A Welcomed New Link Between Washington and Hershey

15 November, 2009

This past weekend marked a broadcast first for hockey in Washington: the execution of virtual real-time audio swaps between Federal News Radio 1500, the local radio carrier of the Caps, and John Walton’s calls of the Hershey Bears, which Washington hockey fans can hear on SportsJuice.com. On Friday night, while the Bears were beating Norfolk [...]
