In a Season of High Hopes, Instead We Have High Crimes and Misdemeanors

Sought After and Secured: the Shutdown D
What prior to Tuesday had been a bit of a playground for visitors in the Capitals’ end — particularly for opposing power forwards — became a bit more jungle-like with George McPhee’s acquisition of Scott Hannan from the Colorado Avalanche … Continue reading
Be Concerned, Be Very Concerned
