Show #283---Caps Clinch Playoffs, Blueliner Clenches Fist

Recorded March 23, 2025

 

Three games. Three wins. And at the end of it all, an earned playoff berth. Earned by a team playing for one another. A team (and their fans) who endured a ton of disrespect. Disrespect that has been heaped on by know-nothing fans and so-called journalists with an agenda. We've been collecting receipts....

 

It's payback time.

 

After the recaps I take it upon myself to call out the most guilty. Vindication feels damn good. Hope you enjoy, fellow fans. Thanks for indulging me. (Towards the end my bleeping machine ran out of steam.....you have been warned)

 

Don't forget to donate to the fight against cancer alongside our Captain:

Show #282---Caps Come Back From Cali '25

Recorded March 16, 2025

 

The Mermaid is back and she tells us all about her birthday trip to the Turks and Caicos islands to begin the episode. We go on to talk about the three games played in California....the two wins and the one frustrating loss. And a bit of a telling statistic. But not unlike a certain disease, if caught early enough, it can be dealt with.

Speaking of diseases, if you have the means, please consider donating alongside the Capitals' Captain. Visit this very special link today to help the awesome V Foundation in their ongoing quest to beat cancer once and for all. You can make a difference. All you have to do is not give up. Don't ever give up.

Show #280---O is for Ovi, not 0 Caps wins.....

Recorded March 2, 2025

Anna's back for the week after recovering to commisserate regarding an unusually bad week for Our Caps. After our customary recap of all three games, we go over some potentially unpleasant business concering what may happen with the Gr8 chase.

To close, we go over even more potentially depressing (depending on your point of view) business that may or may not go down between now and this week's NHL Trade Deadline.

 

Our best wishes are with the Green family as they bury their infant son Liam.

Show #279---Back from the Break in a BIG Way!!!

Recorded February 23, 2025

 

First time guest Jini Clausen joins us this week in the Mermaid's absence to go over a GREAT weekend of Caps hockey action! After giving Jini the talk show treatment and finding out her Caps origin story, we get right into the two games where Our Caps kicked ass!

 

With the Trade deadline and other events looming this season, we go over some ongoing concerns (yes even a First Place team can have some concerns!) I think you will like the way Jini does not hold back in how things may work out!

Show #278----Breaking Bad and Good

Recorded February 9, 2025

 

On our last episode before this season's break, Anna and I rapidly go over (due to unforseeen time constraints) the previous three games. Two of them follow the same sloppy yet successful pattern if falling behind and yet winning or at least earning a point for the standings.

Thinking about tuning in next week? Well you should think again because we won't be here....

But we will be back the week of Feb. 23rd. Please join us...until then try to occupy yourselves! I will need a cohost for that recording and if interested please contact me at glhalllowed@yahoo.com    THANKS!

Show #276---Locked On to the Powerplay Point Podcast with Special Guest Co-host Dan Holmi

Recorded January 26, 2025

 

In this very special episode I have the immense pleasure of being joined by Dan Holmi of the Locked On Capitals podcast. 

We go over the details of the past week with Our Capitals going 2-1 at the beginning of their Western road trip. Listen as Dan and I go back and forth over several important points relative to both the Caps' recent play as well as some goings-on in the NHL itself. A MUST listen for serioius Caps fans!

As this week's episode is dedicated to the memory of the great Pete Medhurst, we reserve our final segment to pay tribute to his life and career. Well wishes are included from some of our listeners and I will do my best to sum up his wonderful but tragically short life.

Please donate to his GoFundMe page to help out his family by going here.

Show #275---Out of the Halfway House

Recorded January 19, 2025

 

Anna and I discuss the three games/three wins for the Caps this past week. As it was pretty low-event hockey played by them to perfection, this episode will fly by. But of course not without a timely discussion of how to cope during a not-so-dry January. Spoiler alert---there will be complaints about snow. Also the Mermaid has a homework assignment--regarding hew newfound favorite drink.

We have a few words of course on the tragedy of Helen and Ken Fawber's deaths nearly two weeks ago. Ken was the Away locker room at the Giant Center in Hershey. If you wish to contribute to the family's GoFundMe page, please click here.

 

Be sure to catch CapsTalk on the First segment of the Sports on the HIll Podcast Monday nights at 9pm ET.

Show #274--Halfway Home but the Way to Win is Still Long

Recorded Jan. 12, 2025

 

Four games to cover......four games that were, at times, difficult to endure given what we Caps fans have gotten used to. But as they say they road is long and the season is a marathon and not a sprint, Anna and I break down the four games as only we can. We also offer our critique of the team's recent play and what might get them back to.....a more consistent line of results.

However before we begin, we give our attention to the recent tragedy in the Los Angeles area. We both have people there who have been affected at least in some way.And in their case, yes the road is even tougher and longer. Do what you can to make it easier on them by donating to the American Red Cross today.

Also we speak about our beloved Color Commentator, Craig Laughlin and his recent health issues. He has his own road to recovery he must travel. Send him your most positive vibes and be sure to wish him well. Something else that will do his heart good is a donation to The Laughlin Family Foundation to support research for rare cancers.

And to anyone else facing their own challenges early in this New Year....the road may be long, but let this serve as a reminder that you're not alone. We're a community. A family unto our own. There is a way home. If you are a Caps fan you are already here.
