They didn’t even play last night and still the Caps keep winning. With Atlanta losing to Columbus 2-1 last night, the Washington Capitals clinched as Souheast Division champions for the third year in a row. This is a guaranteed Top 3 playoff seed slot and pretty much a no-brainer. I mean, who didn’t [...]
FLASH! OO-OOH…
‘Semin Scores!’

A healthy scratch in Monday’s loss against the Stars, Tomas Fleischmann made quite the impact when he returned to the lineup in last night’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Banging home a ripping shot from the right circle in overtime, Flash scored the game-winner and brought the Caps within one game of [...]

The good news? Alexander Ovechkin has found the net again. The bad? The Caps home game streak at Verizon has ended at 13 as the Dallas Stars stole a 4-3 shutout win.
The Caps seemed en route to another home win against the visiting Stars. After two periods, the Caps held a 2-0 [...]

The New Wave of Website Awesomeness?

Seems there’s a new entry in Georgetown.edu’s website redesign…and that left side looks kinda familiar. Apparently, this new entry is considered “cutting edge,” “innovative,” and “aggressive.” Um, well duh. Considering we pretty much set that look when we launched almost two years ago…
So. Honest mistake? Homage to our glorious site? Or simply [...]

As you read this, Olympic hockey has begun for the 2010 games in Vancouver. So what does it have to do with DC?
For Caps fans, everything. Think of these next two weeks as less an NHL break and more of an intermission show that has the [...]

Capitals vs Penguins: Rivalry of the Ages

So did you see the big game on NBC yesterday?
You heard me right.
Yesterday’s big game wasn’t played in Miami, aired on CBS, filled with cheesy, stupid commercials. It was right here in DC, in the heart of snowmageddon. It was the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Washington [...]
Weekend Flashback: 2/5 – 2/7/2010

SNOW! Snowmageddon, snowpocalypse, snOMG, snogasm, snobama, Tai Shan’s last dump – whatever you want to call it, the frozen white stuff dominated our weekend. (And like unwanted houseguests, will linger for many more days to come.) Even with the nearly three feet of snow dropped in the DC area, many [...]
This Game is Most Definitely ON!

Just like every other hockey fan in the area, I’ve been wondering with baited breath whether today’s noontime matchup between the Washington Capitals and the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins was actually going to happen.
It is.
Now before you get up and rush out the door, some things to consider. First, Metro’s running underground-only, so [...]

Congratulations to the Washington Capitals for setting a franchise record last night! With their 4-1 whipping of the Boston Bruins, the Caps are sitting on an amazing 11 game win streak, stemming back from Ovechkin’s anointing as team captain.
It wasn’t a sure thing until the third period, however. Both teams fought a [...]
