Friday, May 9th, 2008Olaf Kölzig (I like to add the little German dots over his name) has been synonymous with not just the Capitals, but with DC sports as a whole for nearly 20 years. He’s the longest tenured DC athlete, and has been the Caps goalie since I was in elementary school. But the man has made […]
Capitals Lose Game 7, But At Least We Were Interested Again
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Surely, we’ve been a couple of bandwagon fans over these last couple months, but before you judge, you should know that we grew up on the Washington Capitals.
As kids, our dad used to always grab up the unwanted Caps tickets from his office and take us to the games. The memories of sitting in […]
Caps Bring It Back to D.C. for Game 7
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008It was an incredible comeback win for the Caps in Philly on the strength of a brilliant, NHL ‘94-style goal from Nicklas Backstrom and another from fellow young gun Alexander Semin as well as two barn-burners from The Great 8, Alexander Ovechkin. The series culminates in D.C. tonight, hopefully with a game-winner much like the […]
Caps Lose Despite Huet’s Best Efforts
Friday, April 18th, 2008If you were to look up the definition of “brutal” in the dictionary, you might very well find this description:

1. Going out to watch Game 4 of the Caps-Flyers series. It’s a beautiful day in Charlotte and you’re sitting at an outdoor bar. All seems well. Then you realize the guy next […]
Green Might Wanna Keep the Gloves On
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Caps defenseman, and great hair icon, Mike Green should probably stick to the scoring (three goals already in the series) and forget about the fighting. He got into it last night with Philly’s Scottie Upshall. It was the first fight of the series, and exactly zero punches were landed:
Lame, I know. There’s probably a reason […]
Blog Show Producer Rocks the ‘Hawk
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008I have no words. Nice apartment decor though.
Hit Littles’ Comcast SportsNet blog for more scary pics.
Also, should Olie play goalie in Game 4? Looks like the Caps should at least consider it.
NBC Says Caps Suck on Ice, in Stands
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008This is a day or two old, but still delicious: During the Caps 2-0 Game 2 loss to Philly, NBC’s Mike Milbury referred to the Capitals as the “Crapitals” … not once, but twice. (Update: Here’s the video.) Team owner/busy blogger Ted Leonsis took him to task for it, and Milbury, an ex-Bruins and Isles […]
Ovie Wins Game 1 For the Caps
Saturday, April 12th, 2008There was a time about 10 years ago when hockey was quite possibly my favorite sport, and the Caps were on par with the Redskins. Between then and now I lost interest for obvious reasons, but last night’s playoff game took me back to a time when I gave a shit. (This probably makes me […]
