On February 3, the Capitals began a partnership with the Examiner, running an advertisement section wrapped around the cover of the daily titled ‘Caps Extra.’ It’s an eye-catching, highly visual, four-page, color supplement that features color photos, four feature files bylined by [...]

A Blogger’s Faith in Government Restored: The Formation of the First-Ever Congressional Hockey Caucus

18 March, 2010

The greeting from the congressman in his office this week was sudden and startling: “Can you blog and walk at the same time?” Nebraska Representative Lee Terry, smiling, asked as he stepped out of a closed-door meeting to meet me.

Then and Now: I Want My Innocent Ovi Back

It’s seared in my memory in a way virtually no other hockey moment, save the Miracle on Ice, is: the October 5, 2005, debut of Alexander Ovechkin in the NHL. Forty seconds into the new season’s opening game, on his very first NHL shift, Ovechkin slammed Columbus’ Radoslav Suchy so violently into the end boards [...]

Per Capitals Insider, Capitals’ captain Alexander Ovechkin has been suspended for two games for his first period push Sunday of Blackhawks’ defenseman Brian Campbell.
