OFB TV: Catching Up With a Killer

14 March, 2011

The Washington, D.C. area was lucky enough to have Kevin “Killer” Kaminski attend the Caps game against the Chicago Blackhawks. We at OFB were even luckier to get a chance to talk with him after the game. Tara Wheeler got the honor to ask him about his NHL playing career, what his most memorable highlight was and whether or not today’s hockey players are as tough as the ones from his era. Check out the video to hear the whole conversation.

Photo File: Capitals vs. Blues

4 March, 2011

I spent Thursday’s Caps-Blues tilt in the club level, on the red line, which afforded a great perch from which to shoot the game. A decisive bout for Matt Bradley, Jason Arnott’s first goal as a Capital, and a closely-contested home-team victory—it was a surprisingly intense game for two teams that barely know each other.

Two Young Centers, Two Stories of Struggle with Consistency

11 February, 2011

The Washington Capitals’ Marcus Johansson and Mathieu Perreault are in a unique situation. Despite coming from completely different backgrounds and being in two totally different places in their careers, both are faced with the exact same problem, proving they are worthy of the second line center job.

OFB TV: Turn Back the Clock Night Brings Similar Results

2 February, 2011

On Tuesday night the Capitals played in their retro jerseys to commemorate one time Cap, Dino Ciccarelli. While the team jumped out strong in the first period, turning back the clock still led to similar results in the form of a 3-2 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens. John Keeley is joined by Sky Kerstein of 106.7 The Fan to discuss the game.

The View from Charlottesville (Take II)

23 January, 2011

Will speedster Jason Chimera shift the Caps’ first line into high gear? Also, hockey ratings are on the rise… but you wouldn’t know it to watch the “Worldwide Leader in Sports.”

The Hardest Working Man, Not on Skates (Part 1)

18 January, 2011

Leaning forward in his tailored brown striped suit, Nate Ewell runs through a final check of his Blackberry. His end seat in the press box is still surrounded by vacant folding chairs as the Verizon Center press box has yet to fill with members of the print, radio and television media. Ewell has climbed through the Caps media ranks and is the now the team’s Vice President of Communications. While he gets to travel with some of the biggest athletes in hockey and certainly enjoys what he does, it doesn’t mean his job is not stressful. Often times, he can be so busy he forgets to do some of the menial tasks in life, including one time forgetting to eat.
