This will come as no surprise to anyone, but Caps left winger Alex Ovechkin has been named one of the NHL’s Three Stars for the week ending Dec. 30. With five goals and seven points in three games, Ovechkin was named the league’s No. 1 star for the week. The Rangers’ Jaromir Jagr was named [...]
The last Saturday of 2007 proved fruitful for the Washington Capitals’ organization as all three teams — the Caps, the Hershey Bears and the South Carolina Stingrays — picked up big wins. I was in Hershey to witness the Bears’ 6-1 win over Norfolk, so we’ll start with that one.
Hershey netminder Daren Machesney was nicked [...]
I’m sitting in what is going to be a sold-out Giant Center for tonight’s rematch between the Hershey Bears and the Norfolk Admirals. The Bears took the Admirals down in Norfolk last night, beating the hosts 4-1. The win did not come without cost, however. Defenseman Tyler Sloan and forwards Andrew Joudrey and Malcolm MacMillan [...]
As one opens Christmas presents, one frequently finds that some of the items received need to have tags and/or labels scissored off, once the assurance has been made that the item fits and/or the recipient is happy with the look and feel of the gift. A day after Christmas, the Washington Capitals have done some tag-clipping [...]
I just got word of a really nice initiative involving Caps defenseman Mike Green. It’s easiest if I just cut and paste the press release, so here it is:
Washington, D.C. — Two prominent Washingtonians are lending their support to Children’s National Medical Center through two exciting online initiatives this holiday season. Sponsored by the [...]
Not much to report from Verizon Center today. The Capitals’ lineup will remain the same as it was for Monday’s shootout loss in Detroit, unless Bruce Boudreau opts to tweak his forward lines a bit. The sweatered personnel will remain the same.
Montreal starts a six-game road trip here tonight, because the Cirque de Soleil is [...]
There are a lot of blogs out there that do a good job of pointing you to things that other people have written, so I’ve steered clear of that for the most part around here. I’ve never found much use in trying to do the same thing everyone else does, anyway.
That said, I feel compelled [...]
Just came back from the morning skate at Joe Louis Arena, and it is one terrific barn. After the Wings finished skating, we went into the Detroit room and it’s really something special.
There are three locker stalls there set aside for longtime Red Wing legends Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay and Alex Delvecchio. Along the top [...]
DETROIT — The Capitals departed warm and muggy Tampa Bay — where it was 76 degrees after Washington’s 3-2 win over the host Lightning last night — for cold and snowy Detroit, where it is currently 27 degrees. It was snowing when we pulled in here just before 2 a.m. today, and it’s still snowing [...]
TAMPA BAY — I’m high atop the St. Pete Times Forum more than an hour before the Caps are set to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning here. The weather here is muggy and balmy, but we’ll be flying into sub-freezing Detroit as soon as this game is over.
It will be interesting to see how [...]
