Back Behind Enemy Lines

18 January, 2011

I will never not root for a nuclear holocaust to strike Philadelphia first among American cities (Pittsburgh a close second), and especially all of these arenas and stadiums new and old that populate south Philly on a single, blighted looking industrial property, but I must credit the Flyers’ organization for being supportive of out-of-town hockey [...]

‘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 [...]

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 [...]

A Classic Access Surprise

22 November, 2010

I’ve got to be honest — for the past five or six months, it’s almost hurt more than excited me to talk about the 2011 Winter Classic. I knew chances were that the team that got me to fall in love with hockey just a year ago was going to be playing in the biggest [...]

Guest Blogging for Storming the Crease: Why I Blog

12 September, 2010

Among many things I really like about our blogger colleague Rob Yunich’s site, Storming the Crease, is that Rob takes an active interest in engaging hockey’s local storytellers, finding out from them what animates their interest in hockey. This preseason Rob has conceived a fun and thoughtful exercise by which his Caps’ blogger brethren could [...]

Vecherinka With RMNB

2 August, 2010

So a major shout-out is in order for the intrepid crew of Russian Machine Never Breaks, who hosted a combination anniversary/charity party over the weekend. The event was a blast, the beverages plentiful, and the OvieBurger? An unholy and delicious union, part burger, part Reuben. It was great to meet Ian, Neil, Peter, Kyle, and [...]
