Show #303---Last Episode of 2025, Caps Fans!

Recorded December 28, 2025

 

Anna and I close out 2025 with a review of the 2 games from the last full week of 2025. One bad loss and one thrilling win....can we expect any less from Our Caps this crazy season? Probably not.

In addition we provide an update on Cole Hutson's condition. He was injured in a terrifying play during World Junior Championship action. Just try to remember we're just podcasters, not medical professionals.

Show #302---Chirpin' For the Holidays! Special Guest Starring the Hockey Troll of The Official Caps Chirp Podcast

Recorded December 21, 2025

 

This holiday season I thought I’d do things differently and offer you a different flavor…by inviting another Caps podcaster into our world. And who better to do it than the Hockey Troll himself!

 

As the host of The Official Caps Chirp Podcast, he’s got some very worthwhile takes both from this week’s Caps games and overall.

 

Appropriately enough since Our Caps had a home-and-home this weekend, HT and I will be doing the same. Look for my appearance on The Official Caps Chirp Podcast Christmas Day!

 

Because we just can’t stop giving….😜

Show #298---Thankful for a LOTTA GOALS!

Recorded November 23, 2025

 

Happy Thanksgiving....early.

It was a much improved (mostly) week as Our Caps went 3-1. Much more heartening was the fact that the offense woke up...a lot. Anna and I go over all four games for you. We even manage to find some good in the one loss.

Yes the PP and the PK both still stink.

This being Hockey Fights Cancer month, I have a very personal message regarding the fight and it's aimed at our leaders. It's for the kids, so I bid you listen with an open mind.

Show #297---Caps Come Home to Another Struggle.....

Recorded November 16, 2025

 

It was another less than stellar week for Our Caos and Anna and I break it all down for you...

The recent tension amongst all Caps fans has boiled over and has thusly moved your host to preach....to the choir. Agree or not. Enjoy or don't. Either way you might learn something.
