We’re in a Winter Wonderland of Existential Puck Purgatory
A week away from Christmas, my thoughts pucks are dark, wholly free of Yuletide cheer. It’s awful. I can’t recall anything quite like this since following this team from its inception — a moment when so much promise surrounding this … Continue reading
Be Concerned, Be Very Concerned
“Questions begin to mount as Caps lose” Ed Frankovic exclaims in his WNST headline this morning. He’s so right. Again. Ed goes on to sagely point out that Claude Julien this week channeled his division bench rival Jacques Martin in … Continue reading

Some 58 percent of OFB readers believe that a Postseason Curse plagues the Washington Capitals. A bit fatalistic, isn’t it? And yet, the eras change, the uniforms get redesigned, a wise blueprint for competitive durability is adopted, a franchise-altering Dynamo-hero arrives to … Continue reading
A Plea for Piss-‘n-Vinegar Hockey
Turns out, R.J. Umberger was right. Really right. This is what Umberger said after his Columbus Bluejackets lost a close game at home to the Caps just a couple of weeks ago, right before the start of the NHL postseason: … Continue reading
