On Centers of Attention, and the Welcomed Return of Old Time Hockey
Remember how about nine months ago Capitals’ fans began realizing that goaltending in the organization — which just a few years ago was a position whose quality was heralded exclusively by Olie Kolzig, without much in the way of promising … Continue reading
Back on the Air Today, Back in Our Town Saturday

After Last Night, King Is Out to Hunt More Bruins
Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau described D.J. King’s presence in Tuesday’s preseason game like having “a big brother out there.” But when a hit from the Bruins’ Gregory Campbell to Alex Ovechkin brought both to a near-fight in the third, King was stuck watching helplessly from the bench, all while Ovechkin got two minutes for slashing and Campbell received two minutes for boarding.

Notes from a Subdued Friday After Thursday’s High Drama
Friday at camp offered a striking contrast in atmosphere relative to Thursday. No big-news presser, no buzz over a free agent’s hat trick from a game the night before, and when Gabby met the media near 2:00 there was only the Washington Post’s Katie Carrera and yours truly there with questions for the coach. The exchange lasted all of about 5 minutes.

The NHL’s Biggest Game Just Got Bigger
It was, I would realize only later, a genuinely historic day out at Kettler Capitals Iceplex on Thursday. My Washington Capitals — our Washington Capitals — the team that every sports editor in this city has ever back-paged or ignored, are going to be the subject of an HBO documentary this season.
Seriously.
And HBO and documentary go together like peanut butter and jelly.
