The Second-Best Way to Watch an NHL Game

27 October, 2011

While I love watching the Caps on TV, I enjoy watching other NHL games as well. In the past I’ve had NHL Center Ice, which provides basic functionality but not much else.

Local Blogger Voices, Embraced by Local Big Media

7 October, 2010

Quick note from the new media front: I just left Comcast Sportsnet’s Bethesda studios and offices, where I joined Dmitry Chesnokov on set with Russ Thaler to chat pucks for some TV and web segments at the dawn of a new season. Thaler is back on the Caps’ beat this season, which necessarily means improved [...]
