Game #6 – Capitals vs. Hawks Spotlight: Bra-done?

By Sam Fels October 20, 2019 0

Because of 2018’s run, Braden Holtby will probably never pay for a drink or meal in the DC area again. And he played no small part, as he came in relief in the first round of a struggling Philip Grubauer and rescued the Caps out of a 2-0 series hole on the road. He was […]

Game #6 – Capitals vs. Hawks: Hedley Lamarr’s Buggerers, Bushwhackers, Hornswogglers

By Sam Fels October 20, 2019 0

Tom Wilson – The head halfwit/nitwit/dimwit not just of the Capitals, but perhaps in the entire league. Simply a workplace hazard for everyone around. Wilson hasn’t popped off this season yet, and has been pretty useful on the second line. We know that won’t last, and he did brain someone in the preseason. The next time […]

You Ain’t Shane, You Ain’t Mook – ’19-’20 NHL Team Previews: Washington Capitals

By Sam Fels September 11, 2019 0

The old standby. The last four seasons, no matter what happens, there the Caps are, finishing first in the Metro. There’s always a portion of the season where it feels like it’s gone on them, that this is finally where they’ve gotten too old and too predictable and too comfortable, and yet the season ends […]

You Get What Anyone Gets – Saying Goodbye To The ’18-’19 Washington Capitals

By Sam Fels April 26, 2019 0

I would say that the Washington Capitals learned all the wrong lessons from winning their first Cup last spring, but then what can you learn when you spend the next eight months riding the creature? You’ve probably learned some lessons while bass-ackwards, but they were learned the wrong way and could have been absorbed in […]

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

By 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 of eyes. […]

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

By 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 […]
