My solo take on the Caps coaching interviewees....

It's Anna's birthday week and we celebrate with a 2 win week (we'll take it).
A quick (sort-of) run-through of the week's doings on-ice: A loser point and two wins. Not bad but not exactly Cup winning type of play. Yet. But it's all worth it when one of those wins comes against the hated black and gold team.
Our guest analyst for the week Rashelle Wilcox joins us to give her take on the Caps recent roller coaster ride over the last few weeks. Let's just say she's not shy about who's doing well and who isn't. Trust me when I say you will be hearing (and seeing) more of her in the coming weeks.
Finally we end with a sloppy sentimental (more sloppy than anything) dedication for Anna's birthday. It ain't every day your young lady turns a certain age that shall not be mentioned upon penalty of death.

Show #127---Stumbles and Grumbles, Special Guest Starring Chris Levesque
Tuesday Feb 25, 2020
Tuesday Feb 25, 2020
Recorded Feb. 23, 2020
Anna and I take you through a fun filled 1-2-1 week for Our Caps. Let it be known that if you don't play like bosses, you will suffer losses. At least the week ended with a great character win over the hated Penguins.
Our Consigliere Christian Levesque comes on and shares his always spot-on thoughts on what's good and bad with the team and even a few possibilities for deadline day.
Finally, Anna and I go another round with "Is it the Players or is it the Coaches?" I'm sure you know how this will turn out. Tune in anyway, you'll enjoy it. I hope.
Sorry for the delay, too much life getting in the way....and sorry for the, ehh....rushed ending. You don't want to know. Really you don't want to know.

Anna and I return from going bye week to give our take on the Caps first week back in action. But first we must pay our respects...to both the Super Bowl and Kobe Bryant. We simply could not let either event go by without comment.
It's on to the hockey as it was another up and down week...two wins and a loss. Not bad, but still we find stuff to grumble about.
Speaking of grumbling, I take time to address the most recent alleged (ok so it MIGHT actually be real) controversy about who is best to put in goal for Our Caps. SPOILER ALERT---I HATE THINGS THAT DIVIDE OUR FANBASE!
Sorry for the long episode but think of it as getting more for the money we're not charging you!
RIP Kobe Bryant: 1978-2020

Anna and I go over yet another winning week of Caps hockey...
But first a reminder to do your part in this Hockey Fights Cancer month. I announce my personal inspiration for the charity. Also, a well deserved bit of recognition for our military veterans on this side of the holiday. Several of our wonderful listeners are singled out for their contribution.
For the hockey we do another deconstruction of the week that was in Caps hockey. It was another three games played resulting in another three wins. It's enough to make most Caps fans' minds explode. Except if you've seen this before and are a slave to hockey history, which I am. I will admit that my happiness has it limits and so I have my doubts on this winning streak or at least its timing.
Anna of course begs to differ. But it's a Caps fan's right to overthink success, no? Sorry if it's a downer for some but you all know where I come from...
Post hockey discussion we tackle a recent news item, sort of. Actually we don't, I just retell the story of the Toronto 228th Battalion, the Northern Fusiliers and how they briefly took the pro hockey world by storm 102 years ago. Who says the military and hockey don't mix?
Let us honor the contributions made by our Service members on this Veterans' Day and Remembrance Day.

Welcome Children of the Night!
As I the Boo-Liner OnPoint and our best ghoul Anna celebrate Halloween in our own twisted way...or not.
Our Caps are still far away from Home Sweet Capital One Arena but very much continuing on their winning ways. We recap the results from the first four games including a detailed analysis of the incredible comeback in Vancouver last Friday night.
We close with a plea to our fellow Caps fans to help out another fellow Caps fan in need--Mitch "Beard" Bates. He suffered a truly (no joke) horrific injury recently and will need all the help he can get. Caps PA Announcer Wes Johnson has initiated the call to action, so please donate to Mitch's GoFundMe Page and help him out!
The Mermaid and I want you to enjoy our show, no bones about it!

Anna and I go over Opening week for Our Washington Capitals. We begin the hockey talk with our second go around for the common leitmotif. This week's theme---Canadian Caps players and their origins. See if you can spot the three players and the common place from whence they came.
Next, an impromptu love fest for one of the newcomers on the team--Garnet Hathaway. His brand of intensity and strong play are a welcome sight in the District.
No stats this week, it's just too darn early. But Anna and I do offer an evaluation of how the team has done overall (hint pretty good) and what needs to improve (SPOILER ALERT--the power play).
