Local Hockey Media Crystal Ball the Postseason

10 April, 2011

We asked some of our favorite local voices covering the Caps to share with us a big-picture overview of this Capitals’ playoff club; specifically, we wanted them to address the team’s goaltending situation, its health, and its relative standing in the Eastern conference. All things big-picture considered, just how far should we expect this club [...]

Chatting Postseason Pucks on 106.7 the Fan

3 April, 2011

Apologies in advance for going on radio the other night with my buds at 106.7 the Fan on a crappy, overtaxed Blackberry. It’s been a burdensome spring in communications space for me. Anyway, as usual, I had a blast ‘chattin pucks with Danny Rouhier and Grant Paulson immediately after the Caps’ 4-3 overtime triumph over [...]

Montreal: Hockey’s Highest Hockey Culture

15 March, 2011

Montreal has many merits, but among my favorite is this: in March, while Washington typically thaws, Montreal remains in a deep freeze. In fact, Monday night Montreal was a scintillatingly shivering 6 degrees. I find myself scanning the world’s weather section of the newspaper every March morning, my envious eye always falling on the home [...]

Killer Comes Home

7 March, 2011

Discovery has its Shark Week; at OFB this week we’ll be celebrating and chronicling the brief but oh so memorable Caps’ career of Kevin ‘Killer’ Kaminski. Cause Killer’s coming home — he’s coming into town this weekend to take in the Caps-Hawks’ game on Sunday, his first visit to D.C. since his playing career ended [...]

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 [...]

OFB TV: Catching Up with Dmitri Orlov

5 March, 2011

Yesterday morning the Hershey Bears practiced at their grand old barn, Hersheypark Arena. I drove up for the practice with Ben Raby of Comcast Sportsnet and WTOP radio. Raby had never been inside HPA before, and he had the same reaction everyone else does on a first visit: love at first sight. Ben also helped [...]

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 [...]

McPhee’s Moment

28 February, 2011

Is this the most important day in the NHL executive career of Capitals’ General Manager George McPhee? You could make a compelling case that it is. Publicly, McPhee is standing solidly behind his 33-20-10, second-place-in-the-Southeast squad. (The team’s 20 regulation losses before March are 5 more than the team lost in regulation all of last [...]

Snowed Out from a Sour Message

8 February, 2011

Funny story: about two weeks ago I got a fresh request to appear on 106.7 the Fan’s ‘Overtime‘ evening program, but I fielded the request while in one of the few Bethesda, Md., commercial properties with power that night (a bar); we’d just been snow-blasted by Mother Nature. My home — Pepco-powered — was of [...]

OFB TV: Turn Back the Clock Night Brings Similar Results

2 February, 2011

On Tuesday night the Capitals played in their retro jerseys to commemorate one time Cap, Dino Ciccarelli. While the team jumped out strong in the first period, turning back the clock still led to similar results in the form of a 3-2 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens. John Keeley is joined by Sky Kerstein of 106.7 The Fan to discuss the game.
