Alex Ovechkin’s Most Favorable Pairing
Written by Clifford Santa Monica, Alex Ovechkin’s most favorable pairing, in my opinion, is with Niklas Backstrom–the center he did so well with during the lockout when the two of them played for the same team (on the same line) in the Swedish Elite league. The two of them make each other better. But Adam Oates, for reasons that mystify me, would rather have the two of them...
Are The Washington Capitals Getting Hot, Or Are They Just Playing Bad Teams?
Written By, Clifford Santa Monica, The two victories the Caps snagged (against the second worst team in the NHL, no less) isn’t a large enough sample size to permit me to state–as you just did—that this team may have turned a corner. I have a feeling that we’ll know a lot more following this evening’s contest against a Tampa Bay Lightning team which–though mired in a...
Brooks Laich Nears Caps Return
Washington Capitals fans received some great news today, after head coach Adam Oates confirmed to Washington Times reporter Stephen Whyno that center Brooks Laich has been cleared to practice with contact.
“I know Smitty told me he’s allowed to have contact," said Oates. "I think it’s going to be a day-to-day basis evaluation because it’s one of those things...
Alexander Ovechkin “fights” Kris Versteeg
Florida Panthers forward Kris Versteeg knocked Alexander Ovechkin down with a cross-check away from the play while he didn’t have the puck; the Washington Capitals forward took exception to this and went after Versteeg. No real punches were thrown and Ovechkin just tried to pull Versteeg’s jersey and shoulder pads over his head. Even the referees didn’t think it was much...

Great Moments in NHL Kisses
It's been a while since Andrew Gordon played for the Washington Capitals, but the few who saw it will forget when he kissed Marcus Johansson after scoring his first career goal during a victory on Dec 21, 2010. Thinking of that for some reason, and also Valentine's Day, inspired us to look up more video of NHL players kissing each other on the ice.The post Great Moments in...
Capitals ticket prices up slightly despite slow start
By Dan Groob, TiqIQ
The Washington Capitals are disappointing again, and fans are none too pleased. Coming off a 2011 season which saw the Capitals finish with the most points in the Eastern Conference, last season’s 7th place finish and second round exit represented multiple steps in the wrong direction. This year, things might even be worse. Continue reading "Capitals...
Florida Panthers Fan Humps the Air on TV After Team Blows Lead to the Washington Capitals (Video)
The Florida Panthers had what they thought was a safe lead of 5-3 over the visiting Washington Capitals last night. They ended up blowing the lead and losing the game in overtime 6-5 to my Caps so I can't complain. One fan in particular wasn't very happy with his team losing the game and decided to hump the air behind the scrum that was going on down on the ice. No...
