Sleeping with the Enemy
Posted on 17 May 2012 by Matt Preston.
With news breaking earlier this week that Alexander Semin was unhappy with the Washington Capitals and was looking to go elsewhere once he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, as has happened many times in the past, rumors began to kick up once again that a good landing places for the sharp-shooting Russian would be the Boston Bruins. Do the Bruins, however, really want Alexander Sem...

14 Years in the Making
Posted on 12 Apr 2012 by Matt Preston.
Is it plagiarism if it’s your own work you’re ripping off? Almost exactly one year ago earlier I rolled out my thoughts on the Boston Bruins as they were getting set to face the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of the 2011 NHL Playoffs. Just hours away from the puck dropping on Game 1 of the Bruins’ Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series with the Washington Capitals here in the 2012...

Possible Kings Trade Targets
Posted on 1 Feb 2012 by Eric Cooney.
Let's be honest, as Kings fans we all want to be buyers at the deadline, and not Fredrik Modin/Jeff Halpern buyers. We want to be big time buyers. Like, what-we-all-expected-Dustin-Penner-to-be buyers. We all know the Kings could use some offense, yet it's not always so easy to tell what Lombardi is going to do when it comes to acquiring players. However, if you twisted my arm I'd wager...

Washington Capitals Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
Another successful regular season for the Capitals was all for nothing because the end result was yet another disappointing playoff too. This team needs a makeover, and with the majority of their team signed, it’s going to have to be done creatively by GM George McPhee. The Capitals may have received some bad news regarding Varlamov potentially wanting to play in the KHL, but it could be a bl...

Posted on 8 Mar 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
Alex Ovechkin's shootout goal lifted the Washington Capitals to a 2-1 victory against the Tampa Lightening. Alexander Semin scored another clutch goal to tie the game with 5:32 left in regulation. The Caps have won five straight. During this stretch, they continue to play sound defensively, they are getting timely goals from Ovi and Semin, and the goal tending has been very good. Due to...

Down to the wire on trade deadline
Posted on 28 Feb 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
The Washington Capitals picked 32 year old Marco Sturm off of waivers, adding additional speed to the club. The recently well traveled Sturm has been on a roller coaster, of sorts, this year. He began the year in Boston, was traded to Los Angeles, played 17 games before suffering a knee injury. Sturm tallied 5 goals and 4 assists in 17 games with the Kings. It appears last ditch efforts...

Flames Close – Conroy – Winnipeg Jets?
Posted on 27 Jan 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
My oh my how a week can change things around a hockey team. After the Flames had lost 6-0 to the Minnesota Wild, I like many thought that that game would be the breaking point this. And like a couple of times already the Flames have managed to claw their way out of certain demise. Calgary has now won four games in a row against some fairly tough opposition to put themselves within 2 points of t...

Crosby vs. Ovechkin Debate Is Over…For Now
Posted on 4 Dec 2010 by Justin Welton.
For years people have been debating who is better, Sidney Crosby or Alexander Ovechkin? I have always thought that Crosby was better than Ovechkin, in terms of being the best player in the world. Finally, people cannot say that I am being biased. Crosby is the leading point scorer (44) in the NHL. He is currently entertaining a 14-game point streak, a streak that has included 15 goals and 14 as...

Devils Come Out Flying, Hedberg Stones Caps
Posted on 22 Nov 2010 by Matt Pellicane.
The New Jersey Devils were full of energy from the drop of the puck tonight. The Devils offense erupted for five goals and Johan Hedberg was excellent between the pipes as the Devils beat the Washington Capitals 5-0 Monday night. This is exactly the type of performance the Devils needed to establish a building block for the next few games that lie ahead. The fact that it came against the ...
