Heads Up in This Chat Room

26 October, 2009

If the Flyers’ first visit to Verizon Center this season doesn’t carry big-game feeling enough for you, maybe the return of Killer to help cover it will. Killer had his share of run-ins with the Orange and Black while wearing a Caps’ sweater, and Tuesday night he’ll host Comcast Sportsnet’s in-game chat for Tuesday night’s [...]

A Fresh Message for Up North: You Want This Killer in Your Midst

22 October, 2009

For my new readership in the Great White North this week, I wanted to detail a bit my friendship with Killer. There were two facets I wanted to stress: that our heroes can indeed be very human, and they can, under somewhat miraculous circumstances, become our friends as well; and that this friend named Killer [...]

The Selling of a Six Pack to a Southerner

3 October, 2008

A brand new colleague in my office, Victoria, not yet six weeks in her new gig, hails from Gulfport, Mississippi. She’s a young twenty-something, bright and engaging, and while college on the West Coast and two brief employment stints in D.C. have well dulled her Mississippi drawl, it’s still abundantly clear that she’s a seriously [...]

A Facelift for Hockey in Portland, Maine

10 June, 2008

The Buffalo Sabres today announced a brand new American League affiliation, in Portland, Maine, with the Pirates. Such news generally doesn’t catch¬†the OFB eye, but in this instance, the affiliate happens to be in one of our favorite towns, one we’ve blogged from before. Portland of course was recently the affiliate for the Caps; in [...]

Is the Big 'Mo with the Team in Red?

20 April, 2008

Hockey’s most mysterious quality is momentum. It wavers at times — is obliterated, even — from shift to shift. Years ago I saw it change for the Caps from bad to beautiful with a single shift of chaos from Kevin Kaminski. A solitary act of incompetence by a single referee, as with yesterday’s mystery infraction [...]

You’ll notice that Killer didn’t just autograph them but etched in the Killer Creed on each as well. They’ll [...]

In-Game Knee-Jerks & Notes: Caps-Isles, 2/20

21 February, 2008

I’m not one to traffic much in the off-ice affairs of star athletes, at least not in published fashion, but with local media’s over-the-top coverage today of Alex’s overseas ingenue, there was for me a slight sense of light and welcome distraction from the day-in, day-out drain of the team’s postseason pursuit. Another positive spin [...]
