Past Playoff Failures Will Serve As Motivation For Caps… In A Different Way

After finally regaining playoff-team status in the 2008 NHL postseason in surprise-fashion during Bruce Boudreau’s first season as the team’s head coach, the Washington Capitals still have found themselves no further than before. The 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons were beginning steps to try to make a serious run, as it was early in their plans to ...

Sabres Beat Caps in D.C., Playoffs Inching Farther Away for Washington

Few would have predicted late March’s game between the Buffalo Sabres and Washington Capitals to feature playoff implications, but with the Caps and Sabres tied with 84 points before their Mar. 26 date, it sure would be one to watch. While the Sabres have gotten hot recently, fighting their way back into the race after ...

Capitals Must Use Intangibles and Self-Motivation Toward Playoff Push

It’s been a strange and, at times, tumultuous season for the Washington Capitals, but they have found themselves in the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, despite losing, 4-3, to the Winnipeg Jets at home in overtime. Part of the reason the Caps are in a playoff position is due to teams currently below them failing to ...

No Style Points For the Caps In 1-0 Loss to Flyers

As sure it has been spread across the hockey world by now, Alex Ovechkin was “benched” for the second time this season during the Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers game Sunday night in a game where the Caps ended up barely losing, 1-0. While it seems clear that head coach Dale Hunter was punishing Ovechkin ...

Capitals Moving On With the Same Roster

After the Caps sent players back in Hershey and putting Nicklas Backstrom on LTIR to free cap space in case a deal was done, it seems the market price for everything was too high as Washington chooses choice “C”: stand pat. There was much talk about what the Capitals needed to get at the trade ...

Caps Looking in the Mirror Against Montreal?

Overall, the Washington Capitals have not had the best season to date and still find themselves on the outside-looking-in at the playoffs, sitting at 9th in the Eastern Conference. However, for some reason, the one team the Caps have had consistent success against has been the Montreal Canadiens. That success continued Friday night when the ...

Season’s Microcosms Leave Caps in Most Dire Situation Yet

You could probably say that Monday night the hockey world was watching the Washington Capitals play the San Jose Sharks: the game was nationally televised on NBC Sports Network, and about 12 extra visitors including a few general managers and scouts were at the Verizon Center. However, despite the pressure, the Caps could not live ...

Keeping Things In Control Key for Capitals’ Success

After a stellar performance against the Florida Panthers, the Washington Capitals have pledged to continue their battle to make the playoffs. Thursday night against the Winnipeg Jets, however, was a microcosm of this season’s struggle to stay in playoff positioning and keeping control of games. “You finally take a little bit of a breath that ...

Hunter vs. Dineen: Caps Overtake Panthers, Continue the Fight for First

Dale Hunter and Kevin Dineen were similar players that played around the same time period. Hunter, once captain of the Washington Capitals, played 19 seasons in the NHL, and finished up with 1020 points in 1407 games along with 3525 PIMs. Dineen ended up with 760 points in 1188 games and 2229 PIMs. Hunter, a center, ...
