Striving Still for Serial Killer Status
This morning I am thinking a great deal about the New Jersey Devils, a great deal about the Detroit Red Wings, and a great deal about Matt Bradley. Winners win, and losers lose, and they do so in our sport … Continue reading
Hitting the Reset Button
I never slow down to peek at roadside car wrecks, but I am going to blog a bit about our barely moving wreck of a hockey team. I’m here with a good deal many more questions than answers, and a … Continue reading
Toss Me a Hoodie, for Hockey’s Here at Last
Across the Mid-Atlantic winds of change seemed to sweep away summer last night. Vacationing on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, I took the dog for a walk this morning in layers of clothing, attire I hadn’t needed since early last spring. It … Continue reading
Ex-Cap Matt Bradley Goes on Air, Calls Out Caps Culture
Matt Bradley is now a Florida Panther, but yesterday he went on sports radio in Ottawa and reflected rather thoughtfully, and rather provocatively, on his time in Washington, and most especially with respect to reasons why the Caps may have … Continue reading

Caps Care Casino Night: Best Dressed, the Guy Who Beat Ovechkin in Bowling, and the Advice John Carlson Didn’t Take
Events like the Capitals’ Casino Night, which raises money for Washington Capitals Charities, are a chance for the guys to interact with their fans. Alex Ovechkin played Wii bowling. Jeff Schultz was a staple at Rock Band (literally a staple – the main move he made around the room was switching from drums to guitar).
It’s also a chance for reporters to ask serious questions about fashion, eating, and motherly advice. As always, the guys were good sports.
There were two main areas to the event – a foyer, where silent auction items were displayed (including a Crosby jersey–one bid was for 2 cents), and the ballroom itself, where the food (including a nitrogen ice cream bar), band, and most of the gambling was. Browsing the silent auction table left forward Tyler Sloan as our first unsuspecting victim.
“Which of you guys, [do] you think, has the biggest fashion budget?” I asked.
“Ovie probably spends the most money, or [Alexander] Semin,” Sloan said. “That doesn’t mean that he looks good.”
“There’s a big difference,” Matt Bradley explained later. Continue reading
