Powerplay Point Podcast

Recorded October 23, 2023

So due to an unfortunate series of scheduling conflicts, the PPP finds itself hosted in the familiar confines of our excellent podcast content partners the Sports on the Hill Podcast

Our friend Robbie Gross acts as Producer and ably assists in a unique segment involving a video replay....unfortunately for the purposes of this edition, you'll have to rely on our dulcet tones describing the action.

We go over the qualities of this young(er) Washington Capitals team in this young season. Suffice to say they are still finding their footing, but there are signs that they may well be on their way to success in the future. Stay tuned!

Curtain is finally going up on the NHL season here in the DMV!

Ok, so it wasn't much of a game. But as usual Anna and I have you covered. 

But not before we go into a horrible piece of technology---the NHL app.  HOw badly does it eat rocks? Let us count the ways. Also a bit of commentary on the options for watching games including the new Monumental Sports app.

The highlight of the week though was my visit to the Pherm Brewing Company where and event hosted by Locker himself, Craig Laughlin for the benefit of the Laughlin Family Foundation. As we've mentioned in seasons past, this show is dedicated to those who, past present and future, are dealing with cancer. 

Contact us at the Facebook page for more information on how you can get  your hands on the amazing new Red Locktober IPA beer, as well as how to benefit the Laughlin Family Foundation.

Anna and I are back!

We begin another season by reintroducing ourselves and telling Caps Fandom who and what we're all about. Plus I have a message regarding how things will go for this season regarding this podcast's activities. Some of you may not be happy. A lot of you may not be happy. But please know that we're not happy until you're not happy about our making you not happy.

And of course we give a preliminary assessment of this year's Washington Capitals based on what we've seen in the preseason. Keep your eyes on this team because while they may not be contenders, they will be an entertaining team to watch.

As Our Washington Capitals continue their retooling, we delve into the possibilities that bubble up from the soup that is NHL Free Agency. Jacob Michael of the Sudden Death Sports Podcast joins us again to help try to make sense of the Caps recent activities and what makes the most sense (if at all) for this team.

Got a question for us? email [email protected]

Want to be on the show?  Give us a shout and we will set up a time for you to yell out your own opinions about the Caps!

April is starting off with a thud as Our Caps come ever closer to officially missing the playoffs. To ease the pain, we call on Laura Bach and John Blackburn otherwise known as that Rockin' Caps fan combo The CAPtasTROHPIES.

If you're not familiar with their work, you should be. They are the super awesome duo that posts the song parodies on Twitter (@captastrophies)  whenever one of Our Caps scores a goal.

They tell their stories both on how they became fans of hockey and of the Caps as well as the adorable (Yes, dammit! We do adorable sometimes here!) story on how they met. They also give a bit of a peek behind the curtain and talk about their creative process as well as their work lives.

Speaking of which, Laura describes her work with the Gaithersburg branch of Fleet Feet which helps with a specialized outfitting process to provide optimum footwear for active lifestyles. They are a supportive (pun intended) business in the DMV, their mission statement is below:

 

"The Fleet Feet Outfitting Process focuses on providing you with running shoes that fit properly, gear that improves your experience and knowledge to help you move your best—whether that’s a 10-minute walk or a three-hour marathon.  Whether you want to walk farther, tackle your first race, or chase down a PR, our specialized fit process combines the best in customer service with insightful technology to deliver unbeatable comfort mile after mile."

If you are in need of their services, please look them over today and they can and will take care of all your footwear needs!

Believe it or not on top of all that they are part of their own band--I.S.F.L.Y. Listen in for what it actually stands for, but make sure the kids are out of the room!

Oh and yes they both provide their own informed insights to how the Caps have been doing this season as we go over the three games played. Tune in for a hilariously entertaining chat with two wonderously inspiring Caps fans!
