Facing Pittsburgh: Familiar Intensity, Different Outcome

2 December, 2011

It felt like a game against Pittsburgh—except for the ending. The Capitals brought whatever their A game is right now to the ice Thursday against the Pens, but despite holding both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin pointless, the Capitals finished the game one goal too short. Journalists buzzed before the game how the Capitals hadn’t [...]

Tallying the Warning Signs, It’s Time

28 November, 2011

This morning, we could look back on November 1 and Ovi’s outburst and deem it a moment of contempt . . . a mutinous moment, in fact.

Caps’ Disjointed Effort Leads to 6-3 Rangers’ Victory

26 November, 2011

It’s a weird night at the Verizon Center when Alexander Semin finishes with more ice time than Alex Ovechkin. True, it was only by 47 seconds, and since Ovechkin finished with 21 shifts and Semin only 19, it looks more coincidental than any kind of message being sent from the bench. Semin finished Friday with [...]

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 [...]

Snowed Out from a Sour Message

8 February, 2011

Funny story: about two weeks ago I got a fresh request to appear on 106.7 the Fan’s ‘Overtime‘ evening program, but I fielded the request while in one of the few Bethesda, Md., commercial properties with power that night (a bar); we’d just been snow-blasted by Mother Nature. My home — Pepco-powered — was of [...]

A Goal Recession Still at Verizon Center

5 January, 2011

It’s still an odd sensation to walk out of Verizon Center without one Capital finding the back of the net. When a team loses a game 1-0 in overtime like Washington did Tuesday to Tampa Bay and its new goalie Dwayne Roloson, the Achilles’ heel probably wasn’t your goalie, or the defense, and Caps coach [...]

A Sunday Skate Outdoors with the Pros

5 December, 2010

How about receiving an early Christmas card? Thanks to the Washington Capitals, we have some very seasonal images from a skate at the Sculpture Gardens Ice Rink at the National Gallery of Art that a band of Caps took earlier today with area schoolchildren and fans. We’ve said it a thousand times, but it bears [...]
