Being a Caps fan is not for the faint of heart, particularly, if you've watched this team for as long as I have. There are two many overtime losses, too many playoff losses to Pittsburgh and too many years that the team was neglected by its owner when they wouldn't put a truly competitive NHL team on the ice. To this day, I will never forget how badly outmatched the Caps...

Hoping to go to Game 7 of the Capitals-Penguins series? It would really help to be a well-heeled lobbyist, or the inheritor of vast wealth.
A cursory glance at some ticket broker sites today reveals a rather Recession-proof going rate for the series-deciding ducats -- you better be ready to fork over an arm and a leg. With game 7 sold out long ago, ticket-less fans will...

The inherently fluky nature of overtime coupled with the NHLs parity should see most teams hovering around .500. But somehow the Washington Capitals have managed to lose seven overtime playoff games in a row over the last I-don't-want...

Forget the Washington Capitals’ addiction to NHL Playoff Game 7’s over the past few years. This one is bigger than moving onto the conference finals, bigger than Ovechkin v. Crosby, and bigger than the D.C.-Pittsburgh rivalry.
This is for the entire pride of D.C. sports fandom.
In one night, everything you ever wanted out of a local [...]

One of the dirtiest cheap shots I remember in hockey was when the Washington Capitals' Dale Hunter cross-checked the New York Islanders' Pierre Turgeon from behind after Turgeon had a scored a goal to put a playoff game out of reach. Hunter was suspended for 21 games, and a history of playoff cheap shots was born. Fast forward to Game 5 of the Bruins/Canes series, and a team...

Like gambling junkies sitting at the one-armed bandits in Vegas, the Hockey Gods simply had to go just one more time. They were unable to let the arguably frenetic series between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals end in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
If Game 5 had been weird enough as Tom Poti [...]

David Steckel’s overtime goal pushed the Washington Capitals into a 3-3 deadlock in their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Game 7 will be tomorrow in DC at 7 PM, and if you don’t watch this game, then I don’t think we can be friends anymore. Oh, and the Blackhawks won their series [...]

I have to admit that my love of hockey went away once the Hartford Whalers moved to Carolina. But it still doesn’t stop me from watching the occasional game (when I bet on it). One such game will be Game 7 between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins. Who do I root (bet) for?
