Let There Be (Good) Music and Dancing Amid All This Winning

7 March, 2010

When I think of the two most significant advances/evolutions in Caps’ hockey over the course of 35 years, and their impact on hockey culture here, I point to the rabid red atmosphere enveloping the team at home in Chinatown and the team’s new-age approach to cultivating media coverage.
Ron Weber on Saturday night told me that [...]

Examining the Drama Unfolding in Atlanta

4 February, 2010

The Examiner’s Brian McNally has a terrifically thoughtful blog file today on the Ilya Kovalchuk/hockey in Atlanta distress.

McNally sees the situation much as I do, and captures the trauma to [...]

Another Frightful Third Period, Another Great Escape

23 October, 2009

It was a victory that was “a lot more difficult than it had to be,” Comcast’s Joe Beninati noted at the close of Thursday night’s broadcast. Ain’t that the truth. The cardiac Caps, they ought to be called. And that’s not flattery.
You could say this was a night for secondary scoring, or tertiary scoring, or [...]
