13 March, 2010

In a two-part interview series Comcast Sportsnet’s Lisa Hillary visited with Capitals’ majority owner Ted Leonsis this week and honed in on some real meat and potatoes issues with him: his satisfaction level with where the Caps are in the league and locally, the participation of NHLer’s in the Olympics, past and future, his role [...]

A Wedding that Rocks the Red

14 November, 2008

This will probably be the only time you see a wedding video on OFB, but it is a cool one.  OFB readers Michelle and Dave said “I do” in the most traditional way this past summer, but the rehearsal dinner and reception was something even more special. 
While OrderedChaos slipped a little hockey into his [...]

A Name No Longer Mentioned

24 September, 2008

One player’s name certainly is emerging from training camp’s first week — by virtue of its omission.
That of Olaf Kolzig.
You don’t hear it mentioned among the press, by fans in the Kettler stands, certainly not by Capitals’ players or coaches. Everybody seems to have moved on from the April agony and the summer transition trauma.

Open File: Duchesne Cup Championship

23 September, 2008

[Check out the first published photos of the presentation of the Duchesne Cup.]
I alone among camp chroniclers am sporting a playoff beard during the Duchesne Cup Challenge, but I was also a big Gator fan.

It's Getting Dazzling in the Competition for the Duchesne Cup

22 September, 2008

This Gaetan Duchesne Cup competition, I’m starting to really dig it; I think the Caps may well wanna keep it around a while. Sunday’s first scrimmage was entertaining and good fun, but Monday’s, which featured Alexander Ovechkin in a competitive environment for the first time in the 2008 camp, was on a whole ‘nother level [...]

Travel Agents Need Not Apply: My R&R at the September Rink

22 September, 2008

Welcome to my vacation. This week I have friends recreating in Switzerland, Canada, and Virginia Beach. Meanwhile, I’m spending my week-long R&R at Kettler Capitals. No offense to my traditional vacation-traveling friends, but I think mine the most alluring, fulfilling, and restorative of getaways. And yes, most exotic. You could offer me a cruise, a [...]
