Ugh, another Left Coast trip sees the Caps retun in a state of being Californication...

But it looks like our boys have gotten things back on track.  Also, I weigh in on an internal debate between defenseman and playing time.

We also celebrate a new fan celebrity among our ranks, none other than a gentleman from across the sea I'm proud to call a friend.  I retell the story of his awesome soothsaying during a recent game.

In other news there are playoffs that are in the process of just getting to a looooong start.  And there is the conclusion of the other Cup.

Winding up the show is a look back at a former Caps' goalie who uh has our number.  Enjoy!

 

 

Ladies and gentlemen Our Washington Capitals have done it again.  They went out last night and laid an egg of a game.  Because they had no heart.  Because they didn't feel like playing like they wanted to.

Needless to say I am not happy about it. And when I'm not happy I like to let the world know about it.

Also, I kinda need some downloads stats uppped my way or at least some kindly donations.  Anything O ye few but faithful decide to do is fine by me.

Enjoy!

Back from hiatus and it feels so mediocre.  Doing this one off the cuff (how else?) and my apologies for not getting out there ssoner.  So we all know what happened, the question is this---does this deal finally put our belved Caps over the top?  That question and others to be answered. Hopefully.

One

Hundred

Years

of the NHL....

Yes what a long strange journey it's been.  And speaking of journeys Our Washington Capitals are one one right now. So yes there will be a brief history of NHL and a rallying cry to go forth to 2017 with nothing less than Frederick Arthur's Chalice in hand when it's all over.

But not without some groveling and begging first.

Confused?  You might be after this newest episode.

Beware the False Grail!

On this my 25th episode I spend approximately 25 minutes putting to shame the NHL's latest attempt to sully the sport of hockey.  Will they never learn?  But if you're Jonesing for real hockey and aren't we all, I have something of a preview for the upcoming season.  Some thoughts as well on our as yet final unsigned free agent...hope he comes home soon.

Welcome to Vegas, baby!  Sort of....In this eppy we give the once over with regards to the latest NHL franchise and end of season awards that were doled out.  Some thought is given to next year's Expansion Draft and its consequences.  We also go over the Caps' picks in the 2016 Entry Draft as well as other related events.

Editor's note---Yes I do know that Jakob Chychrun was actually taken by Arizona and not Ottawa. However, due to unforeseen technical issues I was unable to correct this on tape, so my apologies.

Bonus content for hanging around....no charge!

Congratulations you bastards from that nasty ass excuse of a city...now that that's out of the way we can get on to more important things.  Like why the PHWA sucks.

RIP Gordie Howe.  I will do my Blueliner best to honor the man who truly earned the nickname of Mr.. Hockey.

An "easter egg" of sorts after the end.  My commentary on recent events.  Feel free to skip if you feel you might be offended.

And we are once again enjoying our late spring vacation from hockey...In this season wrap up, I go over what went wrong and what could have gone better for our Capitals.  Also, my long-planned rant against the local media, who, in my estimation could have at least been somewhat more supportive by being what they are supposed to be.  This will be the final weekly episode until next season,

Surviving...winning.  Sometimes there isn't much of a difference between either.  The Washington Capitals are doing both in the series with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tonight is yet another do-or-die situation for our team.  In this episode I go over some things that are scary, and some that are not.  And also why, again, history doesn't have to be the enemy.  Also a brief rundown of some league news.

Our boys in Red are facing their toughest test yet.  On top of that, the wheels of NHL justice don't seem to be turning our way.  Thoughts on this, the crappy NBC coverage, and more...
