Too Little Too Late

Remember about 10 days ago when sentiment began to surface that the arrival of the Olympic break would prove injurious to all that great Caps’ Mojo? Today, not so much sentiment. In fact, in last night’s postgame, Bruce Boudreau explicitly claimed that the Olympic break couldn’t arrive soon enough for his club. He’s right. The [...]

Getting Defensive About the Defense

We unleashed our undergraduate reporters, Andrew Tomlinson and Alexander Perlmutter, on the Caps-Sens’ tilt last night, and they managed to chat up Flash and a few other Caps in the post-game, and listen in on Bruce Boudreau’s postgame thoughts.

Washington Capitals' Playoff Math Redux

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 [...]

I'm Keeping an Eye on Ottawa

I’m going to ask a question to which I know not the answer, but the question may be rhetorical in its preposterous premise: has an NHL team ever started a season 15-2 and failed to make the playoffs?
