Washington Capitals
Take Your Time Ovechkin
Alex Ovechkin is listed as questionable for the weekend games against Minnesota and New Jersey, but do the Caps urgently need him back? Without him the Caps are 3-1-0 and, despite a loss to the Devils in the first Ovechkinless game, have looked pretty good.
One of the key questions was whether Alex Semin would step [...]
Capitals Face A Test Of Depth
After a relatively long break - 5 days – the Washington Capitals return to action in a divisional battle against the Atlanta Thrashers tonight. But the Caps are forced to do so with a number of injuries. The biggest name missing will be Alex Semin who the team say is “ill”. Boyd Gordon is also [...]
Winds of Change Bring Caps Success
The Caps managed to break their losing streak last night in a 4-1 win against the San Jose Sharks. Alex Ovechkin, as was probably expected, was key to the victory, scoring two goals in less than half a minute to put the caps up by two early in the second. Mike Knuble, playing on the [...]
Can The Caps Snap The Slump?
After a four-game losing streak, the Caps look to buck the recent trend tonight against the San Jose Sharks. Jose Theodore is expected to start in net at Verizon Center, and the line combinations should be similar to those against the Devils, although injuries to John Erskine and Tom Poti may mean changes defensively. Most [...]
PenaltyKill.Net: Season 1
When I started this blog I bought a few books on the subject to get some insight into just what it was I was getting myself into. Of everything I read I remember just two things. The first is that it takes about 30 months for a blog to really develop an audience. [...]
Pittsburgh Penguins: Advance to Eastern Conference Finals
What a great series. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals made this a series that will be remembered for quite some time, well that is at least the first six games. Game 7 was a huge disappointment for Capitals fans as they were dismantled by the Penguins with a score 6 - 2. Rookie goaltender [...]
Pittsburgh Penguins: 2nd Round Mid-Series Update
The Penguins are down 2 - 1 in their Conference Semi-Finals series against the Washington Capitals. This series has had a similiar twist to their first series against the Philadelphia Flyers with the exception that the situation is reversed. The Penguins have been out playing and out shooting the Capitals in every game so far [...]
Pittsburgh Penguins: Conference Semi-Finals Preview
One series down, three more to go…hopefully. The Penguins will open up the other Eastern Conference Semi-finals series against the Washington Capitals tomorrow afternoon at 1:00pm EST. Unlike the last series and all of last year’s playoff series (with the except of the Stanley Cup Final series) the Penguins will start off on the road [...]
Pittsburgh Penguins: Guten Nacht to Philadelphia Flyers
All I can say is…wow! What an amazing comeback for the Penguins. The Flyers went up 3-0 and all seemed lost until Max Talbot took on a fight against Daniel Carcillo of the Flyers. Talbot pretty much got his butt kicked, but that fight ended up being the turn around point for the Penguins who [...]
The State Of The San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks are 2-5-1 in their last 8 games, 7-7-5 in their last 19. They are now trailing the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins by 3 points each, and the New Jersey Devils and Washington Capitals are only 5 and 6 points behind respectively. There are 16 games left in the season [...]
