Buzz Trades, a Big Game, a Big-Buzz Atmosphere Stream of Consciousness

27 February, 2008

Was in the then MCI Center the night of March 13, 2001 — also deadline day — when earlier in the day GMGM dealt Zednik and Bulis and a pick to Montreal for Zubrus and Linden, and the mood in last night’s rink felt larger and more significant . . . that dealmaking carried a [...]

The Times on the Anthem "O!"

21 February, 2008

Bob Cohn’s article on the Page A1 of today’s print issue of The Washington Times revisits the “O” controversy, with a couple quotes from yours truly, as well as D.C. area athletes like Washington Capitals captain Chris Clark. While I’m admittedly biased, the article is a good read and I recommend checking it out. Longtime [...]

9 February, 2008

The coverage theme for this blogger tonight is being in the building of a first-place club on a Friday night in February. Rarefied air, that’s called. And we have a columnist in the house to cover it: Thom Loverro of the Washington Times. Thom has covered the Caps as well as any columnist in this [...]

Youppi!: Mascot Extraordinaire

30 January, 2008

As I was reading Washington Times writer Corey Masisak’s blog today, I was surprised to read this: I went in a souvenir stand to see what people can buy. There are 10 – yes, 10 – player t-shirts including guys like Guillaume Latendresse, Carey Price (regardless of the fact that he is in the AHL [...]

18 January, 2008

Know what else is a white-hot success in these hockey parts these days? Corey Masisak’s blog at the Washington Times, “In the Room.” His entry from late yesterday: “Not only are the Caps dealing with myriad injuries, it has spread to the media. I am officially listed as day-to-day with an upper body injury, but [...]

Telling, Isn't It?

13 January, 2008

Early this weekend I told the OFB team to more or less take Sunday off, as we’d need the space to provide links to the voluminous local column coverage of the richest athlete contract in Washington sports history. While our local MSM columnists don’t quite fancy hockey as a subject matter, in the sense that [...]

The Times Pays Tribute to the Capitals' 'Bloggers' Nation'

23 October, 2007

Washington Times’ sports business reporter Tim Lemke spent a number of weeks interviewing a number of the region’s hockey bloggers, his interest piqued by their prevalence in the Verizon Center press box for Caps’ games. “No team in professional sports offers as much unfettered access to bloggers as the Caps,” Lemke writes in this morning’s [...]

Wide Open Observations of Opening Night (at Home)

7 October, 2007

An attempt to provide a sense of the atmosphere I encountered in and about Verizon Center beginning late Saturday afternoon: 4:45 p.m.: We do not have anything approaching hockey weather. In fact, walking down 6th St. under a blazing sun, I’m uncomfortable in merely bluejeans and a business shirt. But I’m better off than six [...]
