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 [...]

Victory in the Lion's Den: A Moment To Savor

6 March, 2008

Tarik’s¬†Washington Post¬†game file¬†today leads with, “After scoring his second goal of the game, Alex Ovechkin skated toward the corner boards at HSBC Arena, waving his arms in the air, imploring the capacity crowd to increase the volume . . . They did — and he loved every second of it.” Over at the Times, Corey’s [...]

Developing a "Killer Instinct"?

4 March, 2008

By now you realize that the Caps secured their 70th point last night, equaling their totals for last two seasons, with still 15 games remaining. The rebuild is indeed over. This morning the Caps’ communications staff sent out its customary morning-after notes and story links, and in it observed that the team’s last three wins [...]

Bs Fans at the Phone Booth Tonight

4 March, 2008

Do not seem to be enjoying themselves. Update from a press box stats flack: the Bruins actually allowed seven goals in a period on March 7, 1945. Seconds after the Brashear beatdown of Shawn Thornton, the Verizon Center center ice scoreboard ran a high-def clip of an aged Bob Barker punching-bagging a Bs-sweatered Adam Sandler [...]

One Cheesesteak With a Side of Double Standards, Please

25 January, 2008

While the Capitals were holding hot-dog eating contests and beating the Leafs last night, the Battle of Pennsylvania was being waged. The Penguins lost to the Flyers, 4-3, but that wasn’t the big story in either town. No, the big topic of discussion was Georges Laraque’s hit on Steve Downie. To no one’s surprise, perspective [...]

Ooh la la!

5 December, 2007

This video’s been making the blog rounds lately, but I figured it was an ideal reminder of why hockey jerseys should never, EVER be tucked in. Why could I easily see Jagr, Avery, Shanahan, and Drury in the modern-day version of this commercial? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duvWNZ68p1g (Be sure to check out the second commercial featuring the same [...]

Schadenfreude in Texas

3 September, 2007

Kudos to the Dallas Stars’ marketing department for this clever billboard-based dig at the NBA’s referee scandal: Unsurprisingly, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban loved the billboard according to the Dallas Morning News: “I think it’s hysterical,” Cuban told the newspaper. “Good for them. It’s a fun ad.”† ESPN has chimed in with other suggested NHL [...]
