“Ovechkin, unassisted”; in addition to being the offical scorer’s line on Washington’s first goal tonight, those two words provide a useful guide to most of the series between the Capitals and Penguins. The NHL zebras aren't the problem, Caps fans As I write this, the third period is winding down and running out the […] Prior to Game One of The Crosbys vs. The Ovechkins, I posted a photo I took of Alex Ovechkin in February during our visit to the Sunshine State (otherwise known as the Week We Retired). Keeping in mind the worldwide influence of this blog, it would seem apparent to me that the appearance of the […] It is, as Spouse has dubbed the Series, “Crosbys vs. Ovechkins” in an intriguing second-round matchup of two of the game’s most marketable and thrilling stars. My allegiance, of course, lies with my adoptive team: the Washington Capitals. A playoff orphan, in view of the continued on ice suck-itude at Bay and Front, I am […] Watching Game 6 of the Caps/Flyers series tonight, I was struck by how great a game Mike Green was having.

Most of the “experts” I’ve heard making predictions don’t give the Caps much of a chance in this one, either because they believe the Caps […] After a very carefully run election (no doubt involving United Nations observers), the Leaf fans at Pension Plan Puppets have at my suggestion adopted the Washington Capitals, champions of the NHL’s NASCAR division as their foster team for this year’s NHL playoffs. The first (and hopefully last) adoption of one poor underserved hockey team is […] Two thoughts on the end of another NHL season: one, I have officially adopted the Washington Capitals as my team for the 2008 Stanley Cup playoffs; and two, why isn’t more being written about possibly the end of Trevor Linden‘s career in the National Hockey League?
