A Vexing Query of Leadership

8 May, 2011

The Capitals may or may not have a deficit of leadership on the ice and in the room with this roster, but dogging them most in the initial hours and days of yet another postseason far too early arrived at is an intense debate about their ultimate leader — Bruce Boudreau. There is anything but [...]

The A’s Grueling Grind, and a Carousel of Goalies

9 March, 2011

The Hershey Bears (39-21-1-4) dropped a shootout decision in Portland, Maine, last night. Let’s just hope their bus driver is fresher than the skaters he’ll convoy through week’s end. When John Walton told me last weekend that beginning Saturday night the club was embarking upon a seven-games-in-nine-day stretch, I didn’t quite believe him. I actually [...]

Down on the Farm, All Beat Up and Gutting Out a Weekend-Salvaging Win

22 November, 2010

It’s a much different looking Hershey Bears hockey club in the first quarter of its two-time Calder Cup defense. For one thing, cornerstone components of those two Calders are gone: Michal Neuvirth, Karl Alzner, and John Carlson have graduated to Washington. Chris Bourque is pursuing greener pastures in Europe. Captain Bryan Helmer is retired. The [...]

Great Blogging from Two Hockey Towns

13 April, 2010

More strong journalism in a spring that’s already offered an abundance of it: Dan Steinberg recorded an impressive testimonial from Alexander Ovechkin’s parents as part of his front-page portrait of the Gr8 from this past Sunday. As endorsements of hockey towns go, it doesn’t get much better than having the parents of the planet’s greatest [...]

Bears, Caps an ‘Extended Honeymoon of Achievement’

11 March, 2010

Tremendous overview of the Washington-Hershey affiliation in the Patriot News blog of Tim Leone today: ‘Hershey Bears, Washington Capitals a Dynamic Duo.’ The timing of Leone’s work is understandable; the Caps are mere hours away from clinching their third consecutive Southeast division title, while the Bears, also runaway leaders of the AHL’s East division, soon [...]
