Abe Pollin Has Passed

Washington Wizards and Verizon Center owner Abe Pollin passed today at age 85. He formerly owned both the Washington Bullets and Capitals, selling the Capitals to Ted Leonsis in 1999.
Leonsis subsequently formed Lincoln Holdings LLC, an investment partnership which holds 100 percent of the Caps and 44 percent of Washington Sports & Entertainment — the business [...]

Origins of a DraftGeek

For those who live with hockey residing in the soul, every day carries some manner of frozen celebration, even in the dead of summer, but some days are better refrigerated than others. For me there are three or four genuinely dry-ice moments in the hockey calendar that are a given every year: the morning of [...]

The Color of Success

My good friend Eric McErlain didn’t pick a good night to play hookie from the hockey rink. But he doesn’t have much red in his wardrobe anyway.
But first thing’s first. I asked for one WaPost columnist to attend Tuesday night and George Solomon sent two, including himself. There were enough Post reporters in attendance last [...]

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

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 [...]

Insanity is [...]

Hockey Mole at WRC at It Again

Her WRC colleagues last evening were startled by the segment, occurring as it did in late May, with the Redskins mere weeks away from the start of training camp, but OFB Queen of Local Sports Media Lindsay Czarniak remained undaunted and committed to her puck calling, devoting 56 minutes of last evening’s 60-minute 5:00 WRC [...]

Softer Spoken Than Nick Backstrom: the Washington MSM on a Big Hockey Signing Day

Confession: prior to Monday, I’d never watched ‘Washington Post Live.’ I don’t have a friend or acquaintance who’d admit to the act. I never heard any “must-see” buzz surrounding it, or even any “see it while you’re ironing” buzz, and I’ve been busy this spring doing the work those associated with that program should have [...]
