Some Call It God’s Tears, and Soon They’re Falling Upon Us

9 February, 2011

We figured that you needed some good news today, and we’re here to deliver the best . . . in the history of humanity.  The greatest beer on planet Earth (that we’ve ever consumed) soon, at long last, will be exported from its home in the Great White North to the lower 48. This from [...]

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 [...]

A Predator and a Pretty Girl

1 November, 2010

Two things are terribly wrong with this video. First, Philadelphia’s Danny Briere claims that his head-hunting of Saturday night, for which he was suspended a modest three games by the NHL (as a “repeat offender” in his own words), was “more like a push.” Yea, and Isles’ netminder Rick DiPietro is accustomed to instigating a [...]

An Offseason in Bullets (with, Hopefully Soon, Our Old Bullets Back)

6 September, 2010

Let’s say that like me you approached this offseason as an occasion to distance yourself from hockey a bit, to treat our sport’s summer developments with comparative indifference relative to recent years. First-round flameouts by Cup heavies can breed that. And enduring an all-time hot summer here made thoughts puck tougher to come by. No [...]

Snapshots of a Blogger’s Season, 2009-10

18 June, 2010

[Hockey season's over. Herewith, 25 of my favorite, most personal moments covering hockey in Washington during the 2009-10 campaign, relayed in no particular order.] (25) Not one, not two, but three blizzards buried Washington in the heart of hockey season.

A Change of Fortune and Fate in the Crease

20 April, 2010

Well, who has the goaltender controversy now? And, how’s that Caps’ defense look right about now? For a team that was rather thoroughly maligned for its defensive play upon arriving in Montreal on Sunday, the Capitals in game 3 gave a doozie of a debunking of that slur. Did you notice how seldom Habs’ forwards [...]

New and Old Media Together on Local Air

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, [...]

Captain My Captain!

11 April, 2010

It’s never a bad week to be Ovi, but this past one was especially special for our captain. He scored his 50th goal on the season, but his most impressive move may have come off the ice. Comcast Sportsnet’s Russ Thaler blogged about a terrific encounter he and his family had with the Gr8 out [...]

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 [...]
