The first fifth of Capitals’ season leaves the club with a 10-3-4 record, 24 points, and first-place place tie for the the conference lead with the archrival Penguins. But is the Capitals position in the standings reflective of an authentic Cup-contending team? At the moment, Washington...

I love me some off-color humor, but even this makes me uncomfortable.? Probably because I’m terrified of gynecologists.? What compels them to choose that specialty?? I mean, I like vaginas, too, but I don’t wanna put on gloves and fish around in them all day. And you know what they ...

If you're an NHL free agent, would you like to join Alexander Ovechkin, Alexander Semin, rookie Nicklas Backstrom and others on a playoff-experienced team? Good, because they've got $11M in cap room to spend.

Yes, the Caps are tied for first place in the Eastern conference, even without Alex Ovechkin on the ice. And, yes, the Caps are tied for second place in the league. So, Ted Leonsis keeps imploring the fans to 'enjoy the game' and 'relax'. I've been a Caps...

The Washington Capitals are again poised to be one the most injury-plagued teams in the league after finishing with the fourth-most games lost last year. The problem wouldn’t be so dramatic if Michael Nylander and his ridiculous contract...

There aren’t too many posts about male gymnasts on this blog, and I don’t get a lot of emails demanding more male gymnasts. But then, not all male gymnasts dismount as awesomely as Connor Westrick. Usually when someone does a two-and-a-half in the pike position, it’s in the ...

It became painfully obvious during last year’s playoff run that the Washington Capitals, while immensely talented, were lacking in one major area.
Sure, guys like Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and Nicklas Backstrom can skate circles around the competition...
Caps' scoring burst continues in win over Leafs
If Alex Ovechkin, Alexander Semin and the rest of Washington's forwards put pucks in the net at this rate, it might not matter which goalie the Capitals use.

Some OFB readers -- a small but still spirited minority -- expressed
two positions in comments last week that struck me as odd. The first
was that by virtue of last Tuesday's overtime defeat in Boston, which
followed another late-game undoing in Ottawa immediately before the...

There is a multiple personality disorder to Alexander Semin's game, one
which is appropriately lethal when directed at his opposition, and
alternatively another which is insidious and a self-inflicted wound
which harms his own club. We witnessed the variations in the past two...
