Out West Tonight, Let There Be Whale Choking

26 April, 2011

On this spectacular spring day in the nation’s capital I saw the sun rise as I awaited the opening of my gym. It was a deeply spiritual moment — I was mere hours removed from the final horn of a gloriously tormenting Penguins’ playoff defeat. But then I thought ahead to Tuesday’s remarkable television challenge: [...]

First-round Ruminations

25 April, 2011

This morning I’m thinking of David Poile, for this morning, the former Caps’ GM is savoring his first playoff series win since he arrived in Nashville to guide the expansion Predators in 1998, and his first postseason triumph since the 1994 postseason with Washington. The Nashville Predators have known only Poile as their GM and [...]

Uninspired and Unwatchable

29 January, 2011

Like many in the region, I lost power in my home during Wednesday night’s storm. But I’ve a four-wheel drive and a flatscreen-laden Chili’s nearby, and I really wanted to watch the Capitals’ final game before the All Star break. Bruce Boudreau had identified Wednesday night’s game in Atlanta as a big one. (Like those [...]

An Offseason in Bullets (with, Hopefully Soon, Our Old Bullets Back)

6 September, 2010

Let’s say that like me you approached this offseason as an occasion to distance yourself from hockey a bit, to treat our sport’s summer developments with comparative indifference relative to recent years. First-round flameouts by Cup heavies can breed that. And enduring an all-time hot summer here made thoughts puck tougher to come by. No [...]

How It’s Gonna Shake Out in Round One

14 April, 2010

We asked our OFB Young Guns, Andrew and Alex, to piece together an overview of the first round of the NHL playoffs. It’s an overview not necessarily designed to wager on, but if you do, and if you win with these picks, remember us when next you see us at Clyde’s. Eastern Conference The Capitals [...]

Road Woes and Missed Chances for the Caps

19 December, 2009

Maybe it was the road trip catching up to them, but one thing is for sure, the Washington Capitals certainly did not take advantage of the chances they had against the Vancouver Canucks. Nicklas Backstrom’s failed conversion of Ovi’s centering pass in the early going foreshadowed a night of just coming up short. And of [...]
