Quick Take: Why Length of Injury Suspensions Are a Bad Idea. April 22, 2014. Posted by CapitalSpirit in Uncategorized. I was watching the Habs-Bolts tilt on NHL Network tonight, and at the second intermission, the subject of erstwhile Capitals rental Matt Cooke’s recent kneeing foul came up. But look at it from the other side. If you’re Philadelphia, and you know you can end Alex Ovechkin’s season by keeping a minor leaguer on the shelf…hmmmmmm, tempting, yes? No, neither the Capitals nor the Flyers woul...

District Puckhouse: 11/29/09 - 12/6/09
http://districtpuckhouse.blogspot.com/2009_11_29_archive.html
Ice hockey, inside the Beltway. Thursday, December 3, 2009. Reason 2,612 the Media loves Bruce Boudreau. It's bad times at the Washington Times. Right now. Yesterday the paper announced it plans to cut about 40% of its staff. And the Sports section could very well disappear. Is the Times' beat reporter. For the Caps, and one of the longer-serving and better reporters to cover the team on a daily basis (and a Maryland. Grad, to boot). His Twitter feed. I don't know what the relationships between coaches a...

Ice hockey, inside the Beltway. Thursday, February 25, 2010. Gopnik 1, Milbury 0. I think this will (hopefully) be my last mention of Mike Milbury, absent some sort of violent crime or on-air freak out. Writer Adam Gopnik (and brother to Washington Post art critic Blake Gopnik. Wrote a lengthy dispatch from the Olympics. That touched on Canadians and the importance of the Canada-Russia hockey game before directing this barb at Milbury over the commentator's "Eurotrash" comment:. View my complete profile.

Ice hockey, inside the Beltway. Sunday, February 28, 2010. USA-Canada for the gold, result notwithstanding, was by far the greatest hockey game I've ever seen at the tender age of 26. Obviously when Team USA. Was one overtime shot away from a gold medal a better result was possible, but even still it was unquestionably a far. Better outcome than what was predicted before these Olympic Games. Of the 23 players on Team USA, all but five were under the age of 30. Now, coming into the Games we could have mad...

Ice hockey, inside the Beltway. Monday, March 1, 2010. A Not-So Brief Capitals Trade Deadline Primer. The NHL trade deadline is less than 48 hours away (at the time of this posting), and while the Capitals are not expected to make any major moves, there's no question that General Manager George McPhee. Would love to upgrade a few specific positions if the right opportunity presents itself. First things first, as alluded to above, the trade deadline is at 3 pm on Wednesday, March 3. Their salary for that ...

A Look At the Math: 3/28/14. March 28, 2014. Posted by CapitalSpirit in Uncategorized. And then there’s the Eastern Conference, where the playoff scenarios are more convoluted than the fare structure on the DC Metro. First, the easy part: Boston is in, and Pittsburgh would need to collapse like the Sampoong Department Store in order to miss the playoffs. Let me quickly rattle off the teams that are, soon will be, or may as well be, out of the picture:. Buffalo Sabres, Florida Panthers. MAY AS WELL BE.

March 13, 2013. Posted by CapitalSpirit in Uncategorized. Caps Nation, I don’t know what to tell you. The Caps proceeded to lose all three games by an aggregate score of 13 to 3. The third goal was the final straw: Carolina iced the puck, but Jeff Schultz did not get back to touch up in time; the puck was in the Washington net within a matter of seconds. So where, exactly, was the urgency from the rest of the team? And where do I begin? The passing was atrocious, the Caps couldn’t seem to get past ...

Ice hockey, inside the Beltway. Wednesday, November 11, 2009. I'll update this post once the related video clip is online.]. A lot is made of Alexander Semin. And his skill set. Gorgeous wrist shot, powerful slap shot, fantastic skater.when he tries. Many of the same critiques are levied at Mike Green. Great shot, great vision, but the effort isn't always there. Player while , despite all his dangling and fancy footwork, Semin is really fundamentally sound. On the other hand, Green's skating fundamentals...

Ice hockey, inside the Beltway. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Fun facts for Capitals-Sabres on Nov. 25th. Flipping through the games notes for tonight's Capitals v. Sabres matchup, a couple stats stuck out to me. First, Washington is 7-0-3 when Alexander Ovechkin score. S That they have 17 of 20 possible points when he scores is notable in and of itself, but so too is the fact that he has 16 goals in 10 games.that's more multi-goal games (6) than one-goal games (4). Links to this post. One of the pleasan...
