Apologies to the Sports on the Hill Podcast for a bit of borrowing that I did as I was inspired by Robbie Gross' post game FB live after the March 29th game.
This one gets a bit....PG-13 at times. Make sure the children are in bed when you listen.
Anna and I along with you the Caps' fan take another ride into the sunset of the regular season and straight into another playoffs adventure. In this episode we go over various aspects of the team's play of late including, but not limited to:
1. The addition of #63 Shane Gersich
2. Our ongoing debate over T J Oshie
3. The goaltending situation
A reminder that, if you can't get enough of Anna, you can catch her on the Caps talk session on Sports on the Hill Monday nights at 7 pm.
Also, stay tuned for a special Playoff Preview episode to be recorded this Saturday night during the season finale against the New Jersey Devils; hopefully to air just before the start of the first round series.

Our Washington Capitals are riding another win streak. But could they be playing better? Anna and I have yet another one of our usual disagreements over this very same question.
Also, some love for recent acquisitions Michal Kempny and Shane Gersich, the latter being from UND so he's already a favorite of my Mrs.
Please leave a comment in whatever podcast vehicle you use or at our Facebook page.
Also, please be sure to catch the Sports on the Hill Podcast Monday evenings, Anna is helping out with the hockey correspondence there. Thanks once again to Carroll Porter III and Robbie Gross.

We are back from a week off...which finds us lamenting the same old Caps, unfortunately. Lots of ups and yes quite a few downs. Anna and I discuss multiple issues including, but not limited to:
1. The recent California road trip
2. The most recent game played as of this recording against the Philadelphia Flyers
3. The so-called "goaltending controversy"
Be sure to get your fill of additional Caps talk (featuring Anna) and all things DC Sports at the Sports on the Hill Podcast, hosted by Carroll Porter III and Robbie Gross.

Recorded Live Feb. 17, 2018. Additional material recorded Feb. 20, 2018.
So our first attempt to go Live was not exactly one for the books. But Anna and I got it done. Hope you enjoy it despite the awful game result. Special thanks to Pete Fischer and Christian Levesque for their contributions that night!
Bonus material of sorts...you get to hear me ramble on a bit about the experience plus my take on recent events...Also there was a Mermaid sighting on the Sports on the Hill Podcast last night. And may I say she represented our show very well. Thanks to Carroll Porter III and Robbie Gross for having her on.
Give a listen to Episode 89, you won't regret it!

Rejoice! The losing streak is over...stop mashing the panic button.
Anna and I discuss the most recent game that broke said aforementioned streak as well as the All Star goings-on (mostly the Skills Competition). Our Captain had his well deserved moment in the spotlight and we will describe that in full. Our goalie....not so much. We will describe that sort of in full.
We also take a few moments to highlight some of the ladies on the 2018 USA Womens Olympic hockey team which includes a young local player in her first Olympics.
Show must be good---even Mrs. Blueliner got in on the act a bit.
Last minute note--#92 will be "good to go" according to the latest reports....yes I know it was actually a LOWER body injury.

Welcome to the Powerplay Point Podcast's dedication to Seinfeld, because we got plenty of nothing.
It's the Bye week so there's not much to discuss except the most recent week's worth of games. We discuss the style of play and how it's (barely) gotten Our Caps bye, er by.
Anna takes a bow as she reveals her phenomenal powers of prediction...
And we discuss sone of the weird goings on during these last few games, as only we at the Powerplay Point Podcast can do. I guarantee you will walk away bewildered if not thoroughly entertained!
