Bradley Bandwagon Or Laing Love Train?

11 February, 2010

On Tuesday, the Caps’ PR man Nate Ewell posted the following on Twitter:
Who’s a bigger cult hero: Laing or Bradley? @dcsportsbog may lure some back to Lainger’s camp http://bit.ly/aWvr0I
The link is an article that the Post’s Dan Steinberg wrote about Quintin Laing and his thoughts on the win streak. However, most of the article was filled with praise for Laing, from his coach and teammates. How could you not like a guy like this?

100,000 for a Hockey Game? Maybe

28 January, 2010

Today brings word of an outdoor hockey game this December on the campus of the University of Michigan, between Red Berenson’s Wolverines and the Michigan State Spartans on December 11, in the Big House. Capacity? 106,000-plus. You have to imagine that this game’s organizers are going to market like mad to try and get 100,000 fannies in the [...]

Top of the Tweet for the Week of December 5

6 December, 2009

We thought it might be fun and interesting to highlight Top Tweets from the Captials’ Twitter community we came across during the past week. And we’ll probably offer up a roundup of Top Tweets each week. This week was filled with talk of Ovi’s hit and style of play, the Philadelphia massacre, some vague indiscretion [...]

Ain't No Party Like a 'Vechkin Party

15 June, 2008

WASHINGTON, D.C.–Alexander Ovechkin is a machine. On the ice and off he constantly gives his all, to the delight of Capitals fans and lovers of hockey everywhere.
Yet even Ovechkin looked a bit tired on Friday night at the party in his honor at chic D.C. restaurant Teatro Goldoni. Given his recent schedule, that’s no surprise. [...]

June 4, 1998: Washington Seriously Parties Over Hockey into the Wee Hours

4 June, 2008

Ten years ago today Joe Juneau scored what many Washington hockey fans consider to be the most significant goal in Capitals’ history — a game and series-ending, Wales Trophy earning tally, one catapulting Capsdom into delirium, 6:24 into overtime, on the road, in the Eastern Conference Finals’ game 6, giving the Caps a 3-2 victory [...]

Developing a "Killer Instinct"?

4 March, 2008

By now you realize that the Caps secured their 70th point last night, equaling their totals for last two seasons, with still 15 games remaining. The rebuild is indeed over.
This morning the Caps’ communications staff sent out its customary morning-after notes and story links, and in it observed that the team’s last three wins have [...]

"This Was Fun . . . What a Great Day To Be a Caps' Fan!"

11 January, 2008

That was the sentiment expressed by one of our readers early last evening, and it seems to us to capture Thursday’s wild ride and community-consuming euphoria rather perfectly and wonderfully.
Another way of characterizing the most common reaction shared with us: unbridled, unmitigated glee. Thursday’s news for Caps’ fans was, it seems to us, so much [...]

Uniform Systems, We Hardly Knew Ya: Knee-jerks & Notes, Caps-Slugs, 12/14

15 December, 2007

Friday 6:05 p.m.: This evening at Verizon Center I’m thinking about the lovers of apple pie. Of the men who take their pleadings for the hands of the women they love first to the fathers, for permission. Of citizens who instantly yield their seats on public transportation to the elderly and infirmed. Of men who [...]
