Mathieu Perreault Suffers Bloody Nose for Good Cause in Classic Win

2 January, 2011

It was, above all, an everyman’s Winter Classic in 2011. A game touted as Sid vs. Ovie was instead dominated by a player who had yet to truly find his offensive stride this year. Eric Fehr had only 13 points on the season coming into tonight’s game. But in the torrential downpour at Heinz Field, [...]

The Matty Diaries, Part II: A Hockey Mom Reacts to the Sight of Her NHL-Battered Son

1 January, 2011

[OFB Note: In installment II of the Matty Diaries our favorite shinny star takes us through the Winter Classic-threatening hit he endured at the shoulder of Carolina's Tim Glaeson last Sunday -- including the reaction to his badly battered appearance from his mother upon her arrival in Washington just days before traveling to Pittsburgh with [...]

Battered Matty, Ready for Winter Classic Duty

29 December, 2010

Most Capitals wore eyeblack for Wednesday’s outdoor practice at Chevy Chase Country Club, under a brilliantly crisp and clear winter afternoon sun, but Mathieu Perreault didn’t have to; he had unnatural eyeblack below both eyes from a badly broken nose. But as you can see from the smiles he beamed after the skate, a little [...]

The Matty Diaries, Part I: Quest for a Reunion with Outdoor Hockey

28 December, 2010

[OFB note: We first learned of Mathieu Perreault's deep-rooted love affair with playing hockey outdoors when we interviewed him after an outdoor Hershey Bears' practice last season. Other Capitals share his passion for sure, but few find themselves in Matty's circumstances late in 2010: recently recalled by the Caps, auditioning game by game for retention [...]

Battered Matty, Looking Halloween at Christmas

27 December, 2010

Courtesy of John Carlson’s Twitter feed, here’s an up-close look at the un-Merry Christmas greeting Carolina’s Tim Gleason administered to Matty last night:

A Look for Shinny

24 December, 2010

Prior to their game against Pittsburgh last night the Capitals got into the fashion spirit of playing hockey outdoors by taking warmups in Winter Classic touques. Our camera honed in on Mathieu Perreault in particular, as the young center — perhaps an unlikely Winter Classic participant three weeks ago — looks a likely one one [...]

The Frenchie That Saved Washington

22 December, 2010

Weeks or months hence, perhaps even during a springtime parade, will we look back at the 34-second mark of period two in Ottawa December 19, and of that night’s second stanza more generally, both of which belonged to Matty, and say: at what was perhaps the most crucial moment this franchise has faced in the [...]

Potentially a Landscaping-Altering — and Enhancing — Moment

9 December, 2010

In a Sports Illustrated column listing holiday gifts he’d give to each NHL club, what Darren Eliot offered the Capitals yesterday caught my attention: “A remote control to fast-forward the regular season because anything they do now is inconsequential. They will be judged solely by their playoff performance.” In sentiment it is identical to the [...]

Still a Work in Progress: Skating with Killer Instinct

7 December, 2010

Who knew HBO cameras would arrive in town this week to begin filming a horror movie? Monday night at Verizon Center was a drama that took a horrific turn for the hosts in the game’s final 10 minutes, when a Capitals’ club combined a lethargic work ethic with too soft a shell in their own [...]

We Got Slightly Atwitter Over Marcus Johansson Yesterday

19 November, 2010

It is the season for families to unite, convene in good cheer and warm embrace and, over seasonal spirits and large-portion meals, share a year’s worth of trials and triumphs, and spiritedly debate politics and sports, and soon thereafter rupture in high-pitched acrimony and pride- and esteem-smarting dispute. Ah, the holidays. Without the spirits or [...]
