John Carlson, first round draft pick of the Caps in the 2008 entry draft, is practicing at Kettler Iceplex because Milan Jurcina and Shane Morrisonn are both nursing injuries. Â I'm going to the game tomorrow night and I want to see Carlson make his NHL debut. Â I first watched...

Alex Ovechkin returns after two weeks, the longest absence of his career, and nets a power play goal on his signature shot from the point.  Welcome back Ovie! Ovie also had 7 hits, so I don't think that injury is bothering him too much.  Matt Bradley, after bleeding all over...

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...

After two overtime losses in a row against the New York Islanders (a team that is playing well above expectations) and the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Alex Ovechkin less Capitals debuted tonight against the New Jersey Devils and, what else, penalties did them in. Â Alexander Semin took...

I'm a happy Caps fan this morning as they came out on top in a battle against the Philadelphia Flyers, 4-2 after being down 2-0.I like it when:the Caps net minder, formerly known as Jose Threeormore, plays lights out in net. Â His glove hand snatched pucks out of the air in between...
The role of luck in winning

Hockey fans, players, coaches, and anyone involved in the game are typically very superstitious because luck is a part of sports. Â In fact, my boss happened to mention to me that he watched the Caps lose recently and worried that his bad luck as a fan of the Wizards was transferring...
Schultz has a 3 point night, seriously?

You know it's a weird night in Caps land when your scorers are not named Alex, but instead are named Jeff Schultz, Chris Clark, Eric Fehr, Alexandre Giroux (okay, one Alex) and Matt Bradley. Â The Caps also got lucky which is in itself weird. Â Luck usually runs against them,...

Both of Alex Ovechkin's goals came in the first period against the Nashville Predators at Verizon Center last night. Â I enjoyed the goal where Brendan Morrison lobbed it into the air towards Ovie where it landed at his feet. Â The Caps should have then put away a team that is...

The Washington Capitals played the 3rd period tonight like it mattered. Â Gee, sometimes that makes the difference between wins and losses so I'm happy they stuck with it and won this game considering they've lost three in a row.My highlights:Alex Ovechkin breaks a long losing...
Caps...the details matter

Pass Shoot Score

Ugh. Â The Caps don't look like a team with high aspirations for the post season, so far. They started out on fire, while I worked my tail off in Las Vegas and couldn't watch. Â Caps started out with a 4-1 victory over Boston and 6-4 win over Toronto which wasn't as closeÂ...
Lots to Laich about Laich

Pass Shoot Score

Brooks Laich taught me patience with young, still developing hockey players, but not right away. Â First, there was my constant screaming at him the first year he played 73 games for the Caps in 2005-2006. Â He's awful, I thought constantly, berating a 22-year old that played...

Some people might appreciate being in Las Vegas when hockey season starts, but I'm not one of them. Â In fact, if I never saw Vegas again, I wouldn't care. Â It's just not my kind of place. Â Instead, I'm desperately missing hockey and can't believe I missed seeing...

Welcome Mike Knuble!

I'll be so much happier to see you in a Capitals uniform than a Flyers uniform. Â I like what I've read about Knuble's vocal leadership. Â The Caps need that in the locker room. Thank you GMGM for finding a RW replacement for Viktor Kozlov that scored more last year and...

David Steckel brings the Caps home for Game 7

Pass Shoot Score
| Comments
Being a Caps fan is not for the faint of heart, particularly, if you've watched this team for as long as I have. Â There are two many overtime losses, too many playoff losses to Pittsburgh and too many years that the team was neglected by its owner when they wouldn't put a...

The phone booth crowd rocked the red in a deafening cacophony of Caps fan cheering, screaming, blaring horns, taunting Fleury and going nuts.  That was my most sublime live hockey experience ever.  To watch Alex Ovechkin take over a game from the Pittsburgh Penguins with his two...

In a game as exciting as promised with the last 3 Art Ross trophy winners on the ice, the Caps escaped with a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Â Sydney Crosby scored first at 4:09 in the first on a shot that the young net minder Simeon Varlamov should have had, but I'm...

Simeon Varlamov - Tsarlamov, From Russia with Glove, Wallamov - whatever you want to call him, has been awesome in net, 2nd only to Roberto Luongo  in stats this playoff season and 1st star of the game 7 tonight.  He kept the Caps in it early in this game when they started out playing...

Tom Poti torched his former team with 1 goal and 3 assists to lead the way in the Caps tying up this series. Â The tape to tape pass play where David Steckel set Poti up for his goal was a thing of beauty. Â Poti's holding his ear up for the fans on his way off the ice after his...

The phone booth rocked last night and not even the obnoxious NY Ranger fans behind me could ruin my night, thankfully, because the Caps showed up to play. Â Matt Bradley scored short-handed 4:12 in the first period against Henrik Lundqvist, the Caps nemesis this series, and then got...

Wow. Â Simeon Varlamov. Â Wow. Â What else can I say. Â The 20-year old net minder has been nothing but impressive. Â A save he made with about 3 minutes left, a diving split, was a thing of beauty. Â Deservedly, he got the first star of the game. Â I've seen this before with other...
Caps stink it up, lose 1-0 to Rags and go down 0-2

I attended my first Caps game as a child in 1974 and have been sucker punched by them every year since then. Â They've found every imaginable way to lose in the playoffs over the years or not make it, at all. Â This game, the 2nd home ice game in the best of seven series against...
Ugh...defense and goaltending kill the Caps

It was an intensely fought battle and, in the end, the Caps succumbed to poor defense and goaltending.  Highlights and observations:Jeff Schultz got owned by Brandon Dubinsky and then Jose Theodore muffed the save.  Just an unbelievably awful play. Alex Ovechkin came to play as...
