Cheryl Anne Forster joins us again as Special fill-in Co Host for this edition.  We go over (FINALLY!) the Caps' first full week of NHL action. As they went 3-0-0 there's a ton to like--Tom Wilson's heat factor, Spencer Carbery's brilliance and Jakub Vrana's return for example. We breakdown all three wins in our own detail. Enjoy!

4 games down 78 to go....it's already looking great Caps fans....keep enjoying the ride!

And so it ends....but just for a while anyway.

This past season was a fun and hellacious one for Our Caps and they took us all on a ride we hadn't experienced in  a while. I reserve the final commentary for two of our podcast's finest supporters, Paul Hackett anbd Stewart Small. Each has their own persepctive on what went well (and not so well) with an eye to the future for the team we all love.

So farewell for the summer, loyal listeners...and LET'S GO CAPS!

Well......we made into May. Even if Our Caps didn't :(

The Mermaid and I get together for the last of the season to put the finale on what was a surprisingly better year than expected. After recapping Game 4, we go into some positives and negatives. What should be....and shouldn't have been. And an eye towards next season.

Thanks to all of our loyal listeners for keeping us going. Tune in next week where some of you help us out by giving your takes on how the season went. Have a kick ass summer!

Anna is off today, C4 Cheryl Anne Forster steps up for cohosting duties. John Blackburn from the CAPtasTROPHIES singing duo graces our show again; both are here to provide some much needed group therapy after Our Caps go down 0-3 against the Rangers.

We go through our usual recaps of the three games, pointing out the obvious and a little of the not so obvious. Believe it or not, there is some good to be mined from what hsa happened. Always fun to discuss with knowedgeable Caps fans!

And to wind things up, John B. is good enough to entertain us solo with a song!

Hello and welcome to the 2024 NHL PLAYOFFS!

The Mermaid and I go over the final week of the Caps' regular season fortunes, which of course resulted in their earning the last seat on the plane that is the 2024 NHL playoffs. 

At about 25 minutes in we roll out several hashtags we would like for you, our listeners to spread as much you can to help us put the word out about the playoff run:

Naturally there was some backlash from how things happened. And we answer it.

And finally a very limited preview of the series against the New York Rangers---spoiler alert (to no one) the series is really going to get nasty!

The Title says it all......

The Mermaid is back from Vacation all she ever wanted vacation had to get away......

Aaaaaand we talk about the last week where the Caps went 0-2-1. Zero wins which means zero good to discuss. Which translates into a lot of F bombs.

Not, Safe. For. Work.
