8 July, 2011

But can you deal Alexander Semin? Practically speaking, is there any semblance of a market for this enigma?

Trade Deadline Day on 106.7 the Fan

6 March, 2011

We’ve been fortunate to be a part of some terrifically fun big media projects here over the past few years, but this past Monday night may have delivered the most fun to date. We were invited to join a gaggle of Capitals bloggers by Sky Kerstein of 106.7 the Fan for two full hours of [...]

Back in the Cup Conversation

1 March, 2011

If George McPhee’s Monday morning began on a hotseat, likely it ended in repose on something closer to a throne. Or at least, hopefully: a good leather recliner in his Maryland home, with a bottle of Canadian beer in hand, fetched for him by his hockey playing and Caps’ loving son. McPhee earned at least [...]

OFB TV: Lis and Ed Talk ‘What Now?’

26 February, 2011

Oh so ugly at the rink last night, and oh so hard to talk hockey passionately when the players you cover evince so little of it on a winter Friday night before another full house, but our Lis and Ed Frankovic of Baltimore WNST delve into what Ed termed an “autopsy” of assessment of the [...]

Are the Stars Aligned for a Big Deal?

24 February, 2011

I’m keeping a close eye on tonight’s Dallas-Detroit game. The losses are mounting for the fast-falling Stars, and with them come extraordinary possibilities as Monday’s trade deadline nears. A month ago, the Stars were the success story of the NHL, shining brightly atop the Pacific division in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year [...]

Digital Young Gun, Getting It Done

23 February, 2011

Once upon a time Andrew was our modest intrepid intern. As of today, he’s still modest, still intrepid, but also a first star of the digital day — his argument for dealing Alexander Semin, published this morning, caught the eyes of editors at FoxSports.com. Way to go, young gun.

The Case for Dealing Sasha Semin

23 February, 2011

I feel like one of those parents who has a child with incredible intelligence and the ability to achieve whatever he wants, but he refuses to study or apply himself.

A Manager’s Extraordinary Moment

12 February, 2011

Penguins’ general manager Ray Shero is the most interesting man in all of hockey this February. Shero is interesting every February, in the leadup to the NHL’s trade deadline; he always seems to have the perfect read on his club, and to make just the moves his club needs to strengthen its standing for the [...]

In a Season of High Hopes, Instead We Have High Crimes and Misdemeanors

14 January, 2011

A political bumper sticker of some years back read, ‘If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.’ “Outrage” by local hockey fans may be too strong a term to apply with respect to the 2010-11 Washington Capitals in this most unexpected, most irregular regular season tour of duty, but I think if you’re not at [...]

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 [...]
