Game #50 – Capitals vs. Hawks Spotlight: Alex The Accurate?

Sam Fels January 20, 2019 0

Only in this way is it a shame that Russia-US relations are headed to Cold War status soon, because Alex Ovechkin should be considered an imported treasure, if not a national one. But being a close friend of The Shirtless Rider in charge over there probably won’t help his cause in a lot

Game #50 – Capitals vs. Hawks Douchebag Du Jour: Are We Finally Free Of T.J. Sochi?

Sam Fels January 20, 2019 0

We can only hope. It was five years ago, so you would think the memory should be pretty yellowed by now. Yes, we’re biased when it comes to T.J. Oshie. He was the dude in St. Louis who made engine noises when he was on the ice. He was the asshole who Blues fans couldn’t […]

Game #50 – Capitals vs. Hawks: Lineups & How Teams Were Built

Sam Fels January 20, 2019 0

Notes: Ovie has four goals in his last 15 games…it’s been a rough go for Niskanen and Orlov, who take the toughest assignments but aren’t doing nearly as well with them as they did last year. Those Cup runs sure do take a bite, don’t they?…Kuznetsov has one goal since December 2nd….Oshie has three goals in […]

Game #22 – Hawks vs. Capitals Spotlight: Michal Kempny’s Phoenix

John Pullega November 21, 2018 0

You knew it was going to happen. From the second the Hawks traded Michal Kempny for a conditional third-round pick from Washington (which in an annoyingly roundabout way turned into Niklas Nordgren, who might be a scoring threat in 2021), he was destined to play a noticeable role in getting Washington its Cup. You’ll remember […]

Game #22 – Hawks vs. Capitals Q&A: Russian Machine Never Breaks…Unless It’s Drunk…Then Only Sorta

Sam Fels November 21, 2018 0

RussianMachineNeverBreaks.com has been a quality Caps outlet for as long as we’ve been doing this. Follow them @RussianMachine.  It’s odd for a Cup-winning team to lose its coach. What really happened with Barry Trotz and has it made any difference so far this year? There’s probably less to the story of Trotz’s exit than meets […]

Game #22 – Hawks vs. Capitals Douchebag Du Jour: A Workplace Danger And A Union Problem

Sam Fels November 21, 2018 0

There’s nothing we can say about Tom Wilson that we haven’t already. So let’s stick with the current problem. Here’s the thing about this galactic dumbass. When he cleared out Oscar Sundqvist of the Blues in the preseason, one has to wonder what he was trying to accomplish. Wilson is no longer some knuckle-dragging grunt […]

Night Songs – That’s How Ovie Does It

Sam Fels June 8, 2018 0

Call me a sucker for these moments. I’ve certainly had my issues with the Washington Capitals. I’ve definitely reveled in their failures along with everyone else, spiced with a tinge of frustration with them for not making good on the promise of so many teams in the past (don’t tell me Caps-Hawks in ’10 wouldn’t […]
