Alex Ovechkin: The Anti-Captain

Alex Ovechkin: The Anti-Captain

April 17th, 2014 Before this season's debacle, in which Alex Ovechkin was simultaneously the league's best goal scorer, worst defensive forward, and above-average detractor of his own teammates; before Dale Hunter regularly benched Ovechkin in favor of more defensively responsible players; before Ovechkin's two-year swoon following the Vancouver...
It's Time for a Change in Washington

It's Time for a Change in Washington

March 29th, 2014 Ever since Alex Ovechkin's debut in a Caps' uniform, there has always been reason for hope in Washington. Sure, the Caps were terrible for his first couple of years in the NHL, but they were rebuilding. Fans can deal with a few tough seasons so long as the team's future looks bright. Once Bruce Boudreau arrived in the fall of 2007,...
West Coast Road Trip Should be a Learning Experience for Caps

West Coast Road Trip Should be a Learning Experience for Caps

March 22nd, 2014 Aside from the inevitable exhaustion that comes with staying up to watch a bunch of late night games in the middle of a work week, the most notable part of the Caps' West Coast road trip thus far has been the play of Washington's opponents. Both Anaheim and Los Angeles operate in a manner that is almost entirely foreign to Caps fans...
Martin Erat's Impossible Trade Request

Martin Erat's Impossible Trade Request

March 3rd, 2014 With the trade deadline looming, Martin Erat has, once again, asked to be traded. Never mind that he’s been nagging the front office since the second month of the season; never mind that his uninspired, and unproductive play has significantly diminished his appeal; and never mind that his $4.5 million cap hit, as well as the year...
Is It Time for the Capitals to Split With Mike Green?

Is It Time for the Capitals to Split With Mike Green?

December 26th, 2013 For all that's been made recently of the pervasive star-coddling wreaking havoc at Redskins Park, a similar, less pronounced version is playing out within DC's hockey team. No, unlike the Redskins, the Capitals' players and coaches are not publicly feuding; and, also unlike the Redskins, the Capitals are not in the midst of a...
Mikhail Grabovski is Better Than Advertised in Washington

Mikhail Grabovski is Better Than Advertised in Washington

December 5th, 2013 George McPhee has drawn a lot of criticism during his 15 year tenure as General Manager of the Capitals, and much of it has been deserved. He's made questionable free agent signings, offered up crippling, expensive contracts, and, of course, has made some pretty baffling trades (even at the time, it was tough to justify trading away a...
The Capitals' Inept Second Line

The Capitals' Inept Second Line

November 13th, 2013 Brooks Laich, Troy Brouwer and Marcus Johansson comprise the Washington Capitals' second line. As the second line, their job is to be a consistent offensive threat; their job is to sustain whatever momentum has been gained the top 3; their job is to ensure that the Capitals don't become a one-dimensional team at even strength; their job...
The Capitals Aim Low on Road Trip

The Capitals Aim Low on Road Trip

November 12th, 2013 Heading into this past weekend's two-games-in-two-nights road trip, the Washington Capitals were outwardly pessimistic. Despite winning their previous four games—outscoring opponents 19-6 in the process—the Caps were simply mortified by the prospect of playing Western powers Phoenix and Colorado, on the road, and on consecutive...
