With Laich, Green, and Orlov back the Caps at full strength are a different team
Posted on 22 Mar 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
Capitals Brooks Laich, Mike Green, and Dmitry Orlov had not all played together at the same time this season until last night when the Caps won on the road in Winnipeg 4-0. Before that game last night the Caps had only won four games on the road. This trio proves to be the key to winning road games as the Caps defeat the Jets in Winnipeg again 6-1. Brooks Laich scored his first goal of the seas...

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...

Toronto Maple Leafs’ Off-season Primer
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Ben Fisher.
The Toronto Maple Leafs arrive at the July 1 opening of the free agency period in an all-too-familiar position: as a team looking to be active, but with precious few appealing free agent options and even fewer coveted trade assets. GM Brian Burke has already demonstrated through his draft day acquisition of John-Michael Liles that he is firmly set in a win-now mentality. But, as the Leafs have ...

Montreal Canadiens 2011 Summer Playbook
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
After a reasonably successful 2010/2011 NHL season, the Montreal Canadiens enter the offseason with most of their core players already under contract and quite a bit of cap space from expiring contracts. Despite a good season, the team can’t look at that and proceed as if they have no improvements to make. Especially in the Eastern conference, there are a number of young teams that are only g...

Full speed ahead – Caps win 9th in a row!
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
What can stop the Washington Capitals? The team seemingly isn't letting down, post the trade deadline, and after several key injuries have piled up. Nichlas Backstrom, Jason Arnott, Mike Green, Tom Poti and Semyon Varlamov are all out due to injury. But the Caps juggernaut continues to pour it on. The Caps have won 9 straight games! Tonight, the Caps took down the Montreal Canadiens 4-...

Capital Punishment
Posted on 13 Mar 2011 by Anna Santiago.
A 2-point win would have been crucial for the Chicago Blackhawks, who were clinging to a 4th place spot in a Western conference that can change drastically in the blink of an eye. And the Hawks put up a good fight, but it wasn't enough to topple Alex Ovechkin and Washington Capitals. Earlier in the season the Capitals were slumping, showing no signs of being the Stanley Cup contenders that they...

Ovechkin highlight goal lifts Caps 2-1 over the Islanders in OT
Posted on 1 Mar 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
The Washington Capitals beat the New York Islanders 2-1 in overtime. Brooks Laich scored with under a minute to go in regulation and Alex Ovechkin scored on a back hand finish after a mad dash through, what seemed, was the entire Islanders team (bench included)! The three trade deadline acquisitions fit in very nicely from the drop of the puck. Marco Sturm (picked up off of waivers) had a ...

Road comback win – just what the Doctor ordered
Posted on 27 Feb 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
Tonight's Washington Capitals comeback win, against the New York Islanders, got the Caps back on track to play inspired hockey. The Caps were down 2-0 when two things happened that are cause for me to declare, the Cap's season is back on track. First, there was Travis Hamonic's goal, a semi-slap shot that wobbled from the blue line over Michal Neuvirth shoulder, and into the net. The p...

Old school Caps knock off Ducks, trade deadline looms
Posted on 17 Feb 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
When in doubt, draw from past experiences! That's exactly what the Washington Capitals did last night. They broke from a losing streak and goal scoring slumber to down the Anaheim Ducks 7-6. This wild, run and gun game, looked more like the Capitals from years past. It didn't take defense to break the losing slump, it took offense! Alexander Semin scored his 7th career hat-trick, naili...

Sharks de-cap the Caps!
Posted on 8 Feb 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
The Washington Capitals continue their fine play, post the All-star break. The Caps are coming off a 3-0 shutout of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Michal Neuvirth made 22 saves for his second career shutout, in their last game against Pittsburgh. Brooks Laich scored in the first period, Marcus Johansson made it a 2 goal lead (short handed) and Mike Knuble scored and empty-netter in the third...

Same Old Story
Posted on 17 Jan 2011 by Mika Oehling.
The Ottawa Senators have a pretty consistent storyline this season on the ice, despite all the off-ice drama. It goes something like this: start off the game strong, maybe grab a goal, start turning the puck over, fall behind, rally late in the third and then go home with a loss. It was Washington's turn to hand Ottawa a 3-1 loss in a game that stayed close right up until the third period; and ...

MONEY IS POWER
Posted on 9 Jan 2011 by Dave Frederick.
Let me begin by quoting a great American, Gordon Gekko. “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good”. At some point, the Blues must adhere to these words of wisdom and take the advice of this Wall Street felon. Note to Blues ownership, get greedy and obsess about winning a Stanley Cup. But first, let's dive into some of the real issues the Bluenote are experiencing. Anybody...
