Schedule, Signings, and Stuff
My apologies for not writing recently. I know it's been quite a month of signings and the new schedule, so here are my thoughts as we get into the slowest part of the hockey calendar.First of all, the free agent signings by the Caps were fantastic. They did not have a lot of...
No Winter Classic is a Crock; Fedorov Gone.
I'll start off by saying I am, of course, biased. The Capitals are my favorite team. That being said, the decision to have the Flyers take on the Bruins at Fenway Park next New Year's in the Winter Classic proves yet again that the NHL is run by idiots.
Morons.
You do realize...
Ovie's Got Hart... Again!
Congrats to Alex Ovechkin for winning the Hart trophy (and the Pearson) for the second straight year. I can't express how impressive that is. After so many years of wishing that a Capital would be one of the best players in the league, I will never take Ovie for granted.
Sure...
Now What? (Fedorov Leaving?)
After a week of reflection and frustration (we could be the team crushing Carolina), it's time to take a look at what's next for the Capitals. Deals will be made and players will be leaving. What should they do? Here's what I think:
1). Re-sign Sergei Fedorov (for the...
Not Our Time.... Yet.
Not much I can say right now.
That pretty much sucked. The Caps were outplayed somewhat during the series, but fought real hard and were able to get to Game 7. They were outplayed pretty badly in Game 7 and that's why the season is over.
The one thing I hope the team takes...
Caps Survive... Bring On Game 7!
I have to admit. I had no faith. As a lifelong Caps fan, I have seen it so many times before. The bitter disappointment after Saturday night was an oh-so-familiar feeling. Any Caps fan can tell you that. It was almost a sure thing that the Caps would not be able to survive and...
Cursed!
I have been a Caps fan since birth. I have watched almost every playoff game they have played in their history. We have to be the unluckiest team in the history of the NHL. How teams like Tampa and Carolina win Stanley Cups while the Caps hit posts and have overtime shots go in...
NHL Gets Wish; Series Tied
I know I'm biased, but come on now.
You can't tell me that there isn't an agenda by the refs. For the first 30 minutes of the game, the Caps were playing 5 on 7. After scoring in the first minute of the game, the Caps had the momentum and could have silenced the crowd...
Pens Dominate; Series Now 2-1
What can you say?
The fact that the Caps were even in overtime was a miracle. The Penguins were a desperate team and they played like it. The Caps were a team up 2-zip in the series and they played like it. Instead of the back and forth excitement of Games 1 and 2, the Caps sat...
Caps Up 2-0; Crosby Whines... Again
Once again, this series is living up to all the hype. Luckily for Caps fans, it's going our way... for now!
What more can you ask for? Alex Ovechkin with his first playoff hat trick. Sidney Crosby with his first playoff hat trick. Simeon Varlamov with another amazing performance...
Caps Strike First; Lead Pens 1-0
You always say, it's nice when you don't play your best and still win. That was our Capitals on Saturday afternoon in Game 1.
Don't get me wrong. I think they played well, even great, at times, but 22 giveaways and allowing countless odd man rushes will not get it done...
SWEET REDEMPTION!!!
11 years of frustration looked like it was going to be 12 years of frustration. The Caps came out flat and were outplayed for the first 40 minutes. But the goaltending of Simeon Varlamov kept them in it and the old man got it done in the 3rd. Who else put Sergei Fedorov could have...
Brashear Suspended 6 Games
Wow. 6 games? Can you say 'track record'???
While I expected Donald Brashear to be suspended for Game 7 on Tuesday night, I did not expect such a lengthy one. The AP story explains it like this:
Brashear is being punished Monday for two separate actions -- one before and...
Bring On Game 7!
Here we go again!
What a wild series this has turned out to be. The Capitals and Rangers; John Tortorella and the Caps fans are building quite a rivalry. In another impressive performance, the Caps whooped up on the Rangers for the second straight game and for the second year in...
1 Down, 2 To Go
I'm frustrated.
What a great performance the Caps had on Friday night in a must-win Game 5. But I'm frustrated because I wonder where this type of effort was in the first 2 games of this series. I just don't get how this team does not seem to put it all on the line...
A Familiar Situation
Well, here we go again.
Like last year, the Caps slow start to a playoff series has them down 3-1 to a team they are better than. Not much better, but better.
For the 1,000,000th time, the Caps are likely going to be done in by a red hot goalie who has played out of his mind. Can...
