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 [...]

Case Studies in Development Patience: Eric Fehr, Tomas Fleischmann, and Jeff Schultz

23 December, 2009

A quick lesson in hockey prospect development: be patient.
Last May, as Capitals’ players packed up their gear after succumbing to the Penguins in seven games and headed home for the offseason, an awful lot of Caps’ fans rightly wondered what management would do to upgrade a roster that, while 100-pt.-worthy and playoff-perennial, seemed an ingredient [...]

Sometimes Irreconciliable Differences Necessitate Divorce

15 December, 2009

Signing Michael Nylander in the summer of 2007 was wise and savvy and, you might recall, somewhat controversial. The previous season in New York with the Rangers, all Nylander achieved was 83 points in 79 games — his best NHL season ever. How couldn’t he pile up points centering Alexander Ovechkin? I was a little [...]

"You with the pretzels, get in there."

13 December, 2008

The way injuries and recall travel logistics have been, this commercial from the 90’s seems rather appropriate.  Note the snazzy sweaters of the team in white.  No official word if the team in red had anyone with the last name Fedorov. Kozlov, Ovechkin, Semin, or Varlamov.

Thanks to Capitals Kremlin for reminding us of those classic [...]

Hockey's Enduring Code of Silence on Player Injuries

15 November, 2008

I learned this week of the holiday season arrival of a comprehensive (and expensive) collection of ‘Sopranos’ episodes on DVD. All six seasons, packaged lavishly and impressively, and weighing in at an upwards of ten pounds. I was and remain a huge ‘Sopranos’ fan, ever intrigued by the program’s allegedly high degree of wise-guy verisimilitude. [...]

Now That's Vanquishing a Hated Foe

7 November, 2008

Musings from an unexpectedly madhouse rink in Chinatown:

A season-altering triumph? It sure had that feeling in the immediate aftermath of a cardiac comeback against the ‘Canes. The Caps were three minutes shy of starting off an important homestand with a frustrating loss to their fiercest and most hated Southeast foe. Then, in keeping with his [...]
