“Fate Loves the Fearless”

28 April, 2010

In the NBA, home teams seem to win game 7s approximately 102 percent of the time, which is partly why life here has seemed so special the past couple of days. We have no idea what will happen in our game 7 tonight. We never do with decisive games in our sport. A good many [...]

One Final Chapter Remains

27 April, 2010

In general, having lived through each and every Capitals’ postseason series, I’m not a big fan of surging to a 3-1 series lead and injecting needless drama into them by making unheralded opposition netminders look like Johnny Bower or Glen Hall. Here we go again. This trauma we suddenly confront, it’s all my fault. Last [...]

Suddenly, It’s a Short Series Again

22 April, 2010

We’ll get to Boyd Gordon’s remarkable shorthanded, late second period heroics in a minute. But first, you can see the way this whole thing in the East is setting up, can’t you? The Caps are all but certain to move on, vanquishing the 8th seed and drawing next the 7th — Philly — in a [...]

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 [...]

On Goalies and the Widened Reddening of the Region

19 April, 2010

Jose Theodore may yet redeem himself this postseason — perhaps as early as tonight, in game 3 — but his getting yanked yet again before the Capitals could complete a playoff-opening homestand is a highpoint in the horror that has been the hallmark of his career: staggering and mystifying inconsistency. Theodore was rock solid in [...]
