In a Season of High Hopes, Instead We Have High Crimes and Misdemeanors

14 January, 2011

A political bumper sticker of some years back read, ‘If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.’ “Outrage” by local hockey fans may be too strong a term to apply with respect to the 2010-11 Washington Capitals in this most unexpected, most irregular regular season tour of duty, but I think if you’re not at [...]

A Goal Recession Still at Verizon Center

5 January, 2011

It’s still an odd sensation to walk out of Verizon Center without one Capital finding the back of the net. When a team loses a game 1-0 in overtime like Washington did Tuesday to Tampa Bay and its new goalie Dwayne Roloson, the Achilles’ heel probably wasn’t your goalie, or the defense, and Caps coach [...]

Mr. Hat Trick Strikes Again Against Tampa

26 November, 2010

Alexander Semin certainly seems to have the Lightning’s number this year. In two games he has six goals against them and last night he scored his three in just over four minutes. It took his goal total of the year to 17 and also gave him his third hat trick of the season. He scored the fastest natural hat trick in the NHL since Bobby Ryan did it in 2:21 in Jan., 2009.

Found: Alexander Semin, the Hockey God

12 November, 2010

Want the biggest indication Semin’s game is changing? He stayed out of the penalty box on a night when the Capitals got called for five.

In the Upper Heartland, a House of Horror

29 October, 2010

Minnesota’s supposed to be the land of 10,000 lakes, not swamps, but every time the Caps visit Excel Energy Center their offense goes into a quagmire. Six games now in this house of horrors and six defeats to show for it, but the most striking stat about the visits: a grand total of seven goals [...]

Mining for Gems Deep in a Draft’s Bedrock

28 June, 2010

SI.com’s Allan Muir has offered a glowing assessment of the Capitals’ draft work in L.A. this past weekend. George McPhee bolstered his status as a procurer of top-end talent deep in round one, Muir claimed, and the team added skill guys of intrigue afterward. He termed the Caps’ class the “crop we may be talking about most [...]
