Step One to Southeast Deconstruction?

Here is a tweet that can be filed in the “grain of salt” category. It can also be filed in the “food for thought” category as well.

Another Frightful Third Period, Another Great Escape

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.

So if you’re into the details of [...]

Certain members of OFB are thrilled that the Capitals are starting auditions for the Spirit Squad today. My only hope is that the Spirit Squad has a blog, similar to the Nashville Predators Dancers and Goal Girls, or the Blue Crew’s audition blog. Where else could we gain insight into the challenging world of fan [...]

First-Round Flops Over the Years

No team can get it right in round one every year, even drafting very high. And at times all teams get it really wrong then.
