Soul-Stirring Sentiments on Shinny

5 March, 2010

John Walton, the radio voice of the Hershey Bears, standing and shivering with other media at an outdoor Hershey Bears’ practice yesterday morning, looked out upon the frigid proceedings and said, “This is good for the soul.” I couldn’t agree more. As reward for playing hooky from work and driving up to Hershey on Thursday, [...]

Matty, Collecting Hats This February

28 February, 2010

It’s been a couple of months since Caps’ fans at Verizon Center have been able to chant “Let’s go Matty!”, in support of Mathieu Perreault, but those cries could resume soon. Last night, the fan favorite pivot scored four goals for the Hershey Bears in their 9-2 dismantling of Bridgeport before another sold out Giant [...]

No Monsters’ Ball at Giant Center

21 February, 2010

The Hershey Bears found themselves in an exceptionally unusual position before Saturday night’s game against Lake Erie: confronting the possibility of an actual losing streak. On Friday night the Bears traveled to Adirondack and lost a 2-0 lead, succumbing to the Phantoms 5-3. Hershey, however, doesn’t lose a lot. The Bears last lost consecutive games just before [...]

New Media Convergence on the Farm

19 February, 2010

This weekend OFB embarks on a roadtrip we’ve sought since our start — to Hershey, but hauling along with us a hearty contingent of D.C. hockey bloggers. We’ve long wanted to take our new media party up to Chocolatetown for a weekend and see if we could just blow the lid off the terrific puck [...]

The State of the Capitals’ Union, January 2010

27 January, 2010

Red Army, fellow Washington puckheads, late January again finds the Washington Capitals in an enviable competitive position: in first place — by a Grand Canyon chasm — in the Southeast division, but also first overall in the Eastern conference. And of late, establishing some separation from the rest of the East. The Capitals’ brand of [...]

A New Level of Intolerable Violence Plagues Hockey

25 January, 2010

Today the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League will announce its final sanctions against Rouyn-Noranda center Patrice Cormier for his nauseating attack on Mikael Tam of the Quebec Remparts on January 17. The brutality hospitalized Tam with brain trauma and destroyed teeth, and Cormier has been suspended ever since. Quebec provincial police are appropriately investigating the [...]

The Bluechip Options in Net Are Numerous

21 January, 2010

Though unable to track down John Carlson in Hershey last weekend I managed to see Braden Holtby start both weekend home games in the Bears’ net. I’d never seen Holtby perform in person, and I was well aware of the mega-buzz he’d been generating the last two hockey seasons, and so I was thrilled at [...]

Now this is the way to end a special week for the Washington Capitals and their prospects — party pics of a celebrating John Carlson and his gold medal-winning American teammates up in Saskatoon.
