A Grand Experiment Begins

29 November, 2011

Early Monday afternoon out at Kettler I approached a Capitals official while awaiting Dale Hunter’s first press conference as Capitals head coach, and thanked him for “the early Christmas present.” The team rep, smiling, replied, “We couldn’t stop [the gift giving] with just [John] Walton for you!” It was for me a special moment of [...]

Photo File: Capitals vs. Blues

4 March, 2011

I spent Thursday’s Caps-Blues tilt in the club level, on the red line, which afforded a great perch from which to shoot the game. A decisive bout for Matt Bradley, Jason Arnott’s first goal as a Capital, and a closely-contested home-team victory—it was a surprisingly intense game for two teams that barely know each other.

Conversion to the Caps

19 February, 2009

Even though it’s hard to get excited about the Nationals these days, Dan Steinberg always seems to find something worthwhile. One of his latest missives from spring training is about Ross Detwiler, a left-handed pitcher from Missouri. Detwiler, as it turns out, is a hockey fan. While he’s primarily a Blues fan, he is starting to follow the Caps.

Another One Bites the Dust

23 January, 2009

Another year, another All-Star Game, another round of no-shows. James Duthie of the Ottawa Citizen had something to say about that:
Strange, isn’t it, that every season, right before the All-Star game, a few stars suddenly pull groins or tweak knees or develop some other unknown “upper-body injury” (Loose eyelash? Pimple? Belly-button lint accumulation?) Medical researchers really need to explore this phenomenon, known as AllStaritis.
No, I’m not talking about Sidney Crosby, who may pull out of the game. Crosby wants to go, but is being talked out of it by doctors and Penguins management.

A One-Time No. 3 in Net Now Looks Like a No. 1

9 November, 2008

It is terrific news that this morning the Capitals’ starting goaltender boasts a .929 save percentage and a 2.12 goals-against, both statistics good enough for 6th-best in their respective categories in the entire league. You would think your team could go pretty far with such play between the pipes. It is a little surprising, however, [...]
