‘Saturday Night Caps’ Blogger Insights

17 January, 2011

This past Saturday night I joined Off Wing Opinion’s Eric McErlain, Comcast Sportsnet’s hockey blogger Ben Raby, and veteran Capitals’ radio reporter Jonathon Warner in studio for Federal News Radio’s ‘Saturday Night Caps.’ Federal News Radio is the flagship station for the Capitals’ radio broadcasts, and Warner has been championing a ‘bloggers’ roundtable’ on his [...]

More Puck Chattin’ on the Fan

13 January, 2011

Right before the Caps stinker performances in Florida this week we took some time to talk to the boys on ‘Overtime’ on 106.7 The Fan. Always a fun gig. Some of the issues they discussed — second line center by committee, the underwhelming performances this season by a litany of skilled forwards, the captain’s ongoing, [...]

Bloggers’ Concluding Winter Classic 2011 Notebook

4 January, 2011

More than 500 members of the media representing more than 125 outlets descended upon Pittsburgh for the Winter Classic last weekend; we were fortunate enough to be included among them. This was a monumental moment in Washington Capitals history, and we couldn’t have chronicled it as we did absent the proactive and pioneering assistance of [...]

A Reveling Red Army Invasion of the Pittsburgh Riverfront

1 January, 2011

Surreal New Years Eve scene at Pittsburgh’s riverfront German bier hall Hofbrauhaus: from 9:00 on last night, easily 250-plus Capitals’ fans reveling with the aid of giant steins of frothy, bringing great spontaneous pageantry and passion to their chants of “Let’s go Caps!”, while a sizable-in-their-own contingent of locals volleyed returns of “Let’s go Pens.” [...]

Foxy Acknowledgment

3 December, 2010

We read BigMedia sports coverage, and from time to time we learn of them reading us. It’s always flattering to hear from “the pros” with words of appreciation for what we try and pull off in very part-time fashion. Yesterday Fox Sports contacted us with word that they dug pucksandbooks’ analysis of the Scott Hannan [...]

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 [...]

Airing Out the Play of the Caps in Month One

11 November, 2010

For me, radio appearances are a total blast. I never pass up an opportunity to go on the air — especially locally — and talk pucks. There’s something distinctive about radio as a media vehicle for conveying passion about a subject. It’s a medium that places a premium on precision of words and inflection and [...]

With Its All Star Game the NHL Goes Fantasy

10 November, 2010

Customarily I’d glance over word of a revamped NHL All Star game with all the excitement of an online tutorial on wallpapering. But word from the league today of the 2011 All Star game in Raleigh going the route of Fantasy League selecting got personal for me: credit for the idea sure seems to belong [...]
