Salvaging The Trip

Saturday night was a must-win for the Caps down in Tampa.  They dominated for most of the night but for the 3rd straight game, they were not able to finish their multiple chances and had to sweat it out.   On Friday night, it came back to haunt them, ...

Streak Over!!

But it was close. The Wizards needed to beat the Clippers on Wednesday, but they were at the end of a long west coast trip.  They were tired.  The all star game is on the horizon.  Caron Butler was hurt and didn’t play.  Antonio Daniels still hurting, ...

Ovechkin Makes A Point

It was looking bad.  The Caps dominated much of their game in Atlanta (except for 5 minutes of the 2nd period), but it looked like they were leaving with a dreadful defeat.  But that’s when the Thrashers allowed Alex Ovechkin some space and just like ...

Great Effort; 7th Straight Loss

Luckily, the conference stinks, so barring a complete collapse, they should sneak into the playoffs, but after this stretch, you can pretty much count the division out.  It’s really a shame, but you must play with the cards you are dealt, so here’s ...

Kolzig, Green Lead Caps Back Into First

We finally had a goalie win a game for us.  I can’t remember the last time a Caps netminder really stole one for us.  On Sunday afternoon, the Capitals did not play their best game, but with the score tied at 2 in the 3rd period, Olie Kolzig made stop ...

Startin To Come Together

It was a special night at Comcast Center.  Not just because the Terps played an inspired second half and ran away from NC State.  It was a nice University of Maryland Class of 1996/97 reunion.  Jeremy, myself, and many others who spent 4+ years in ...

Second Place Caps

That was a tough one.  The Caps, as in recent games, came out a bit slow and fell behind.  Also, as in recent game, they turned it on in the 2nd and 3rd periods and just could not get more than one puck behind Cam Ward.  The Caps losing at home to the ...

First Place Caps!!!!

They’ve come full circle.  The last time the Caps were in Philly, it was Bruce Boudreau’s first game as coach.  It was the day after Thanksgiving and I remember watching Nicklas Backstrom score in OT and thought, perhaps, the Caps could salvage the ...

Poti, Ovechkin Save Caps!

I know I’m biased, but if I was Versus or NBC, I would show the Caps several times a week on national TV.  The play isn’t always pretty, but the games are always exciting and in the end, you can’t help but talk about it. Alex Ovechkin capped an amazing ...

Fehr To The Rescue?

The Caps called up former top prospect Eric Fehr on Monday and immediately put him on the first line with Alex Ovechkin and Nick Backstrom.  If any line represents what the Capitals wished for in their rebuilding project, this is it.  Fehr, if you ...
