Theodore Shines in Shootout: Caps 2 / Flyers 1

Anyone who attended the Capitals-Flyers game Tuesday was made to wait an extra few minutes as the Philadelphia Flyers, in enemy territory, protested the way the Zamboni drivers surfaced the ice before the overtime shootout. Both Zambonis reappeared from the underbelly of the Verizon Center, as one of the drivers had a discussion ? or maybe even an argument ? with the referee...

Now this is getting completely ridiculous. The injury bug that has hit the Flyers this season has gotten completely out of control and has now inflicted over a third of the roster. The fact that the Flyers are even in second place in the Atlantic Division is a testament to just how deep and talented this team really is.On Monday, GM Paul Holmgren went through the litany of injuries...

Murf of the DC-area site Homer McFanboy encountered an unusual scene during last night's post-victory interviews: a group (flock? pod?) of holy men milling about the Washington Capitals' locker room. Read all about it here.

"Let's go Flyers!" (tepid) . . . "Flyers suck!" (thunderous) There was last night in our building, in abundance, hatred. Blissful, beautiful, bellicose, and long-lost loathing, united against the orange and black. The universe at last seemed ordered. An observer in the Phone Booth last ...

The Caps’ Alexander Semin [hee hee! -Ed.] positively lost his mind while fighting the Rangers’ Marc Staal this weekend. Hockey video of the year. Hands down. Related posts:STANDS COLLAPSE AT COLOMBIAN BULLFIGHT "Hey everybody, come watch the bullfight! No no, there's plenty...

Martin of digidigidigi fame drops by to offer up tonight's game thread."Look at us now, busted up and everyone talking about hard rain. But we've learned by the dust of 'em all, Barter-town's learned. Now when men get to fighting, it happens here and it finishes here. Two men enter, one man leaves."

No, there's been no announcement regarding next year's Winter Classic. Rumors are flying around about Fenway Park, or Philadelphia... actually every cold-weather city that hasn't already hosted is grist in the rumor mill. While we'd love to see the Capitals play in the great outdoors, it's all ...

Sergei Fedorov talked with the media after practice yesterday and Caps365 captured the moment. Pay particular attention starting at the 1:13 mark where Fox 5's Dave Feldman says "This is not a hockeytown".

Saturday night I had a chance to share an elevator ride with Bengt Gustafsson after the Caps' 2-1 victory over the Rangers. He'd come to D.C. for a week to compare coaching notes with Coach Boudreau, which I think is pretty cool. I asked father about son, Caps' 2008 first-round pick Anton. It's ...

When Team USA faced Canada in the World Junior Hockey Championship on New Year's Eve, the Americans were riding high and looking for an upset over essentially the home team of the tournament. USA hung in there for awhile, leading the Canadians early, but they couldn't hold on, and after losing ...

I received a novel and fun request deep into last night's game at Verizon Center, via text message: Hockey Mom, author of the blog Musings from a Hockey Mom, was attending the game as part of a Girls' Night Out during the holidays. One thing puck soda apparently led to another (round), and ...
