What? Do my eyes deceive me? Can this be true? Are the stars literally and figuratively lining up against me? *sigh* The NHL has bestowed the coveted ‘stars’ this week and Braden Holtby IS the first star of the week. I don’t even know if this has ever happened for The Capitals. Maybe decades ago when they had […]
The Caps are disproving Dawn’s theory that they can’t win without Mike Green (8 in a row!), but she doesn’t mind. Mike, however, is bored. What to do if you can’t come of long-term injured reserve until March 22? Get a new job in the Caps PR department. Mike participated in Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” […]
At the Caps game last night, we sat 10 or so rows back along the zamboni entrance. During the first intermission, guess who did a little interview right below our seats? Mike Green. Srsly. The best part of this story: I missed the whole thing! I was in the bathroom. Mr. Pants took this video – […]
Hey all you Caps fans! Did I call it or what? Who’s on fire? Sasha Fierce is on fire! Who saved the game tonight against Tampa? Sasha Fierce tieing it with less than 7 minutes to go. My other Russian Machine nailed the coffin shut with a shootout goal. Who won the game in OT against Florida? […]
Mike Green skated with the team in Tampa this morning but still isn’t feeling right. Does Mike Green ever ‘feel right’? OK. Don’t answer that. It’s a good sign that he is on the ice but after practice when interviewers talked to him the below video was captured. Nicky had to use a fire extinguisher while Brooksy and […]
Who do I have to know to go to this? I will be in Maryland! I hope Kris Versteeg will be there with a special Presidential edition rap. From NHL.com: President Barack Obama will honor the 2010 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks during a ceremony at The White House on Friday, March 11, at 3:00 […]
I think not! Hot Mop and more. Plus I found this nugget of Malkin and since I will grudgingly admit I like him too, here ya go. But this still doesn’t make me a Penguin’s fan for the record. Just so you know. I bleed red, white and blue – CAPS! Ovi forever. Except ok, Letang really […]
Combine the power of the most popular Foxy Friday Alexander Ovechkin and the last Foxy Friday Brooks Laich, add three newbies Jason Arnott (who knew this hottie was wasting away in New Jersey and I predict future Foxy Friday!), meiner lieblinge Herr Sturm and Dennis Wideman and you will get a goal by Brooksy with 47.2 seconds left in the game to […]
Das ist ausgezeichnet? Ja? The Washington Capitals picked up this German born hottie-BOOM-ba-hopefully-GOAL-A-LOTTIE from another one of my favorite teams, the LA KINGS off waivers right before the trade deadline. A first-round draft choice (21st overall) in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft, Sturm is the NHL’s all-time leader in goals, assists, points and games by […]
Three of our top searches yesterday? Mike Green, Capitals bromance, Washington Capitals bromance. I think this means you want Mikey Monday: Bromance Edition. We exhibited yesterday why Mikey needs a hug these days and who better to deliver than his ENTIRE team? It must take hours to amass so many exhibits for our bromance case […]
When it rains it pours. First Mike Green took that slapshot to the head and sat out with inner ear trauma. Then he got the flu. He was back into the lineup a game early (vs NYR) on Friday, only to get a hit up high from Derek Stepan just 6 minutes in. He did […]
So to quote many a hockey player and coach, hockey is 90% mental and 10% physical. OK – I’ll buy that for a hot second since it was regurgitated out of Kris Letang’s luscious mouth recently. (I’m paraphrasing him more intelligently.) Where I am I going with this? Is it me or are many teams […]
The good news? The Washington Caps beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 1-0 tonight. My masterblaster, the Russian Machine punched another one passed Fleury for the only goal of the night making his stat against the Flower 20 points in 19 games. OUCH-A-RONY! But Ovi can only carry this team for so long. At some point, Atlas will shrug. The […]
I have no words (OK – yes I do) other than – I totally wish I was THAT piece of ice at THAT moment in time: Preview from San Jose – It made no difference that they lost. Ovi scored for ME and that is all that mattered. I was in HEAVEN. Time went by way too […]
Dawn and I are going to our first Caps game tonight in San Jose. Dawn will be wearing the aforementioned Ovechtrick head-to-toe ensemble. And she’s bringing me Caps gear. I might even wear it. At the very least I have consented to a red & white hoodie (from BU, gotta keep some of my dignity). […]
The Caps finally snap their regulation losing streak against Pacific Division teams this season beating the Ducks 7-6! Semin had his FOURTH hat trick of the season (video). He is one of only two players in the NHL right now with that honor. For a dude with a scoring drought, he certainly knows how to come back […]
Mike didn’t play in last night’s loss to Phoenix, though the Capitals said nothing before people realized he wasn’t on the ice at warm-ups. Now they’re telling – it’s “inner-ear trauma” resulting from the slapshot to the head on 2/6 [link]. All we can say is at least it’s not a concussion. Get well soon, […]
ESPN.com recently posted its NHL Power Rankings for Week 20. Some teams shot up the rankings like the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings , and Columbus Blue Jackets. While some faltered like the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins. (Pants and Dawn are extremely sad pandas. Like really really sad.) As a Bruins fan, I’m glad […]
I was going to dedicate Mikey Monday to a hilarious trove of photos of Mike & Niklas Backstrom challenging Kaner & Toews for Bromance of the Millennium. Then I saw this: Marilyn Denis is a Canadian talk show host. That should be my job! She had Cabbie on the Street (Cabral Richards) on today with […]
What do you do when your two favorite teams are playing each other? Who do you root for? That was the imponderable conundrum of the day when the Washington Capitals played the LA Kings today. At least for me. So what do you all do? I figure there are no losers! Either way I’m a winner! […]
