A Devil of a Move

6 February, 2010

The Washington Capitals look like Tier I Stanley Cup contenders right now, not with the way they have been playing (especially in their last four games), but because they’ve strung together 13 wins in a row. If the Caps were in the playoffs right now and hypothetically played three teams in three series, they’d figure [...]

Postscript on a Punk: Cormier Suspended, Devil Lou Offers a Lament (Sort of) (at Long Last)

26 January, 2010

New Jersey Devils’ General Manager Lou Lamoreillo met with media yesterday in the aftermath of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s decision to suspend Patrice Cormier for the remainder of the season, playoffs included.  OFB reader Eric kindly tipped me off to the exchange, which is published at the Devils’ site. Take note of the [...]

First Fifth Review

8 November, 2009

The first fifth of the Capitals’ season leaves the club with a 10-3-4 record, 24 points, and a first-place tie for the the conference lead with the archrival Penguins. But is the Capitals position in the standings reflective of an authentic Cup-contending team? At the moment, Washington is the streakiest team in the league and [...]

16 November, 2008

The Caps Road Crew took a trip up I-95 last night and enjoyed some last second heroics by Alexander Ovechkin.  Though the Devils prevailed in the shootout, the Crew enjoyed a heck of a game.
Many thanks to Shawn and the Caps Road Crew for sharing the following pictures with us.  Check the smugmug page later [...]

First-Round Flops Over the Years

20 June, 2008

No team can get it right in round one every year, even drafting very high. And at times all teams get it really wrong then. A survey such as this is a powerful reminder of the crapshoot that is selecting 18-year-old hockey players. However, it is also an invitation for fans to react with, “What [...]

Hardware Hopes and World-Class Hockey Help Alleviate Some Local Heartache

3 May, 2008

Last week, in the throes of a sudden and sour end to the season, it was somewhat difficult to delineate just how successful a season the Capitals and their fans had enjoyed, wasn’t it? Lip service to a terrific run could be mouthed, but there was a pervasive sense that something quite magical had prematurely [...]

Washington Capitals' Playoff Math Redux

3 April, 2008

The Washington Capitals’ season is down to the proverbial wire: one or two games remain for each of the teams in the Eastern Conference race, and that race is tighter than fitting these guys into adjacent Metro Rail seats.
The Capitals received some help last night from New Jersey, who kept Boston to just one point [...]

Misguided Mike Strikes Again

18 March, 2008

Another day, another post about who should win the Hart. Mike Brophy, THN columnist, treated us to his completely original ruminations that featured suggestions like this:
I will say, though, I have narrowed it down to four candidates — goalies Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils and Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks, left [...]
