Editorial Note About Officiating
As a trained hockey referee and an official and coach in other sports, I can say from experience being a referee is a very difficult job. The National Hockey League does an excellent job selecting and training their officials and icing the best officiating crews in the world. Almost without exception, the four officials on the ice do the best job they possibly can to ensure a...
Clowe Injury: Hand or Concussion?
Upon hearing Ryane Clowe would not return to last night's Game 5 after being face planted into the boards by Jason Chimera, I think all of us assumed it was another concussion.
But a closer look at the aftermath shows it might actually be a hand or wrist injury.
Here's video of the hit (via Pro Hockey Talk)...

Rangers-Capitals Preview
Not a single member of the current Washington Capitals roster is from Washington. In fact, Jeff Halpern remains the only player born-and-bred in the area to make the local NHL team, and he's come and gone twice in his 13 seasons in the league.
So perhaps Jason Chimera, a native of Edmonton who has been with the Capitals only since 2009, could be forgiven for his response when...

Forget About Ovechkin, Someone Get a Body on Chimera
As an athlete, there are certain teams you just feel more comfortable playing against. And for the Capitals Jason Chimera that team is the New York Rangers.
According to Stephen Whyno at the Washington Times, Chimera's game winner that somehow slipped past Henrik Lundqvist last night was his sixth goal in just 13 playoff games against the Rangers. He has just two goals in...
A quantum of solace
Greg Flume/Getty Images
After four days of anticipation, hand-wringing and analysis, the Rangers and Caps finally kicked off their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series last night. And it was ugly. There’s no two ways around it, the boys were sloppy, undisciplined and flat out not ready to play this game. They were dominated for the first ten minutes of the game, and fell...

Those penalties were crucial, as they proved to be the kickstart the Capitals needed to finally break past Boston goalie Tuukka Rask. The final score was 3-2 in Washington’s...
Home Stretch: Caps Get a Taste of Playoff-Style Hockey in Thursday’s Loss
It seems odd to lead off talking about a game the Capitals lost on a penalty kill in overtime by praising said penalty kill units.
But if it hadn’t been for some quality shorthanded time by Washington Thursday, a tight contest could have devolved into a serious letdown.
In their 2-1 loss to Ottawa, the Capitals ended up with their biggest total of minor penalties since March...

Jason Chimera vs Jay McClement
After Toronto’s Jay McClement sent the Washington Capitals’ Nick Backstrom awkwardly into the boards in Tuesday night’s game, Washington Captain Alexander Ovechkin was called for a charging penalty at the 15:24 mark of the first period.
