Comcast Correspondent at a Classic New Year’s Weekend in Beantown

4 January, 2010

You know how the next best thing to owning a beach house is having a friend who does? Well, we didn’t have  tickets to this year’s Winter Classic, but Comcast Sportsnet’s Lisa Hillary did. Actually, she also worked the system a bit to get an invite to the league’s New Year’s Eve bash as well. Anyway, she [...]

Nurturing the Fashion Passion of HockeyWashington

25 August, 2008

What does Rock the Red mean to you today, well away from its inauguration and deployment during the 2007-08 season? What does it mean to the Capitals now? How should it be cultivated, nurtured, and deployed in 2008-09?
Also: was it hooey and hokie or a heartfelt rallying cry for you? Do you want to see [...]

Ref, You Suck! Insulting Hockey's Men in Stripes

6 August, 2008

The hockey-less heat of August provides one welcome relief for the NHL fan: freedom from the often egregious and grotesque officiating of NHL referees.
Though no stripe-clad man is currently jobbing the Capitals, we can still use this time to hone our taunting skills. Bellowing at refs is a long-standing tradition . . . and [...]

Rush Rocks Red Rocks

29 June, 2008

This week I made a what I regarded as a sacred pilgrimage to see my favorite rock band. You could say that Rush’s Geddy Lee gave a star performance at Red Rocks this week, but as is the case with each event at the Rocks, the venue is always the evening’s first star.
It was my [...]

Drinking with the Stars

20 June, 2008

That sounds like a much better show idea than Dancing with the Stars, doesn’t it? Contestants would party with an ever-changing cast of celebrities/athletes; each round of successful partying gets the contestant a bigger prize (and calcified liver). The final rounds intensify with Party Partners like Charlie Sheen or Tony Stark . . . er, [...]

Sorenstam Swigs Swill

14 May, 2008

Annika Sorenstam recently announced her retirement from golf at age 37 at the end of this season. Despite winning just last weekend at the Michelob Ultra Open, she’s ready to call it a career. Perhaps moments like this had something to do with it:

As pucksandbooks noted, whereas in hockey age 37 is getting up there [...]

They're Making a Hockeytown in Chi-town, Too

6 May, 2008

Business that brings me to Original Six cities is my favorite kind (save trips to Detroit), and I’m in Chicago this week. Weather is very much a weather vane in my life; among the 40 colleagues here with whom I met last week to discuss this trip, I was the only one who smiled at [...]

Savoring the Historic Week That Was

7 April, 2008

Some time near 8:30 Friday night, Capitals’ fans, having spent weeks residing in a purgatory of indeterminate postseason fate, received an invitation from an seraphim angel named Radek Dvorak to enter an unearthly realm of ecstasy.
At that moment in Raleigh, North Carolina, at 19:48 of period 2, while his team was playing for nothing but [...]
