Recorded December 15, 2024

 

Well we're not too far from the Holidays and it's MORE than beginning to feel a lot like Capsmas! C4 fills in for the Mermaid again for this short week (2 games) of Caps on-ice action.Both wins were....unnecessarily exciting in that they were come from behind wins. But we still love it. That said, there's still a lot of ponder and some things to complain about, just not much :)

Next week will be our Holiday episode so we break out a practice round of......Beninati or Nice! Make your lists, we will checkit twice for you!

Also mentioned are two worthwhile programs:

The York Polar Bears Hockey team featuring young players with special needs. Please visit their site and donate to them:

And of course in honor of the late Bekka Thomas:  Marine Corps Toys for Tots

Please be safe this holiday season!  LGC

Show #269---Caps Winning the Numbers Game, Special Guest Starring Blake Allen

Recorded December 9, 2024

 

This week's episode is dedicated to the memory of Niall Patrick Green....may he rest in eternal peace.

 

Doing things slightly differently we begin with some personal business....cocktails and a HIgh School Football game. We move on with Anna taking the lead and reporting on the three Washington Captitals games (Two wins one OT loss) as she saw them. Due to prior commitments (49ers vs Bears) she tags out in favor of our Special Guest for this week, Blake Allen. Blake last joined us back on Episode #180 and is back to begin a dive into reading advanced stats/analytics in the sport of Ice Hockey. Specifically what about this year's Caps are the reason they are excelling this season. (FIRST PLACE BABY!!!!!)

Show #268---Washington Capitals at the Quarter Pole 2024-25

Recorded December 1, 2024

 

It's an all new month and we evaluate how Our Caps are doing after two full months of play. It was a great help that they went 4-0 in this most recent week of play; the games of which Anna and I go over in detail.

SPOILER ALERT---As at least one of the games featured a disallowed goal, there WILL be a rant about goaltender interference. Humanity will figure out what is love before it figures out what is goaltender interference in the NHL.

Anna is back....just in time to help us get through some adversity. It was a 2-2 week for Our Capitals which saw them get through their annual Caps Fight Cancer game....as well as an injury to <gasp> Captain Alex Ovechkin,

Show #264---Caps Keep on Rolling

Recorded November 2, 2024

 

Anna and I are back to cover yet another perfet week of Caps hockey. Our favorite team went 3-0-0 and are near the top of the Metropolitan Dvision at the time of the recording of this episode. The sweetest win of the week was by far the one against the Rangers. To celebrate we have extra coverage and commentary. Disclaimer our "player interview" was for entertainment purposes only (NOT A REAL INTERVIEW).

Despite the domination of the games, there is cause for concern. We discuss them in full as part of the final game coverage against the Blue Jackets.

Have your say.....what do YOU think of the Caps so far? If you want to book yourself on this podcast please don't hesitate to contact us! Listen towards the end for our contact information or seek us out (Search POWERPLAY POINT PODCAST) on Facebook for our group room page. We want YOUR input...make your voice heard!
