On our last episode before this season's break, Anna and I rapidly go over (due to unforseeen time constraints) the previous three games. Two of them follow the same sloppy yet successful pattern if falling behind and yet winning or at least earning a point for the standings.

Thinking about tuning in next week? Well you should think again because we won't be here....

But we will be back the week of Feb. 23rd. Please join us...until then try to occupy yourselves! I will need a cohost for that recording and if interested please contact me at [email protected]    THANKS!

In this very special episode I have the immense pleasure of being joined by Dan Holmi of the Locked On Capitals podcast. 

We go over the details of the past week with Our Capitals going 2-1 at the beginning of their Western road trip. Listen as Dan and I go back and forth over several important points relative to both the Caps' recent play as well as some goings-on in the NHL itself. A MUST listen for serioius Caps fans!

As this week's episode is dedicated to the memory of the great Pete Medhurst, we reserve our final segment to pay tribute to his life and career. Well wishes are included from some of our listeners and I will do my best to sum up his wonderful but tragically short life.

Anna and I discuss the three games/three wins for the Caps this past week. As it was pretty low-event hockey played by them to perfection, this episode will fly by. But of course not without a timely discussion of how to cope during a not-so-dry January. Spoiler alert---there will be complaints about snow. Also the Mermaid has a homework assignment--regarding hew newfound favorite drink.

We have a few words of course on the tragedy of Helen and Ken Fawber's deaths nearly two weeks ago. Ken was the Away locker room at the Giant Center in Hershey. If you wish to contribute to the family's GoFundMe page, please click here.

Be sure to catch CapsTalk on the First segment of the Sports on the HIll Podcast Monday nights at 9pm ET.

Four games to cover......four games that were, at times, difficult to endure given what we Caps fans have gotten used to. But as they say they road is long and the season is a marathon and not a sprint, Anna and I break down the four games as only we can. We also offer our critique of the team's recent play and what might get them back to.....a more consistent line of results.

However before we begin, we give our attention to the recent tragedy in the Los Angeles area. We both have people there who have been affected at least in some way.And in their case, yes the road is even tougher and longer. Do what you can to make it easier on them by donating to the American Red Cross today.

Also we speak about our beloved Color Commentator, Craig Laughlin and his recent health issues. He has his own road to recovery he must travel. Send him your most positive vibes and be sure to wish him well. Something else that will do his heart good is a donation to The Laughlin Family Foundation to support research for rare cancers.

And to anyone else facing their own challenges early in this New Year....the road may be long, but let this serve as a reminder that you're not alone. We're a community. A family unto our own. There is a way home. If you are a Caps fan you are already here.

Happy Last of 2024!

We put the year in the old rear view.....well I do, solo, by recapping the last set of games up to but notincluding today's matinee match against the Bruins. I have something of a bone to pick with how the Caps have been playing despite their continues (overall) success. Listen and make your own judgement. And as always you're free to come on and rebut me!

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!

Merry Capsmas fellow fans!

We begin this.....unique...episode :P  with some goings-on in our work lives. I'll just say this---'Tis the season (for some crazy stuff).

Then we go into the recap of the on-ice action (3GP 1-2-0). Yeah lots of bad but a kick ass win to end the week against Carolina.

Another edition of Story Time with Young Blueliner makes an appearance.....features a game where a referee didn't do a good job and was told about it!

We give a shout to some great listeners and members of our Facebook group who have gone out of their way to help make Washington Capitals fans among the greatest in the NHL and all sports. (If I didn't call your name please don't take it personally---in fact I invite you to come on and let me have on one of our next episodes!)

Finally we end with our not really antipated Holiday game--Beninati or Nice! Which Caps player made the list? Listen and find out, or don't.

Merry Capsmas Capitals fans....please have a safe and Happy Holiday!

Well we're not too far from the Holidays and it's MORE than beginning to feel a lot like Capsmas! C4 fills in for the Mermaid again for this short week (2 games) of Caps on-ice action.Both wins were....unnecessarily exciting in that they were come from behind wins. But we still love it. That said, there's still a lot of ponder and some things to complain about, just not much :)

Next week will be our Holiday episode so we break out a practice round of......Beninati or Nice! Make your lists, we will checkit twice for you!

Also mentioned are two worthwhile programs:

The York Polar Bears Hockey team featuring young players with special needs. Please visit their site and donate to them:

https://www.yorkpolarbears.org/

And of course in honor of the late Bekka Thomas:  Marine Corps Toys for Tots

Please be safe this holiday season!  LGC

This week's episode is dedicated to the memory of Niall Patrick Green....may he rest in eternal peace.

Doing things slightly differently we begin with some personal business....cocktails and a HIgh School Football game. We move on with Anna taking the lead and reporting on the three Washington Captitals games (Two wins one OT loss) as she saw them. Due to prior commitments (49ers vs Bears) she tags out in favor of our Special Guest for this week, Blake Allen. Blake last joined us back on Episode #180 and is back to begin a dive into reading advanced stats/analytics in the sport of Ice Hockey. Specifically what about this year's Caps are the reason they are excelling this season. (FIRST PLACE BABY!!!!!)
