We are at the Midpoint in this 105th NHL Season and Our Washington Capitals have some answers but probably just as many questions at the moment. Fortunately I am ably assisted in the quest for veracity by two returning experts: Bradley Silvestro of the Just A Fan Youtube videos and the Stat Guy Blake Allen of the Chirpin' DMV podcast.
After a detailed recapping of the three games played (WPG, @BOS and OTT) we attempt to address the budding goalie controversy and try to address the question of obtaining a rental goalie for the playoffs.
We run long again but I promise you do not want to miss a minute of this most excellent conversation between three ardent and knowledgeable Caps fans. Stay Safe and continue to support Our Caps!

We welcome longtime Caps fan Willem Bagchus to the podcast with Mrs. Blueliner Jennie helping out with the Mermaid still out on holiday.
Willem shares his perspective his which are based on his roots growing up in Montreal rooting for a team you might have heard of---Les Canadiens. Needless to say he has a lot to offer from watching all the hockey played there.
Overall it was a meh week on ice with one win sandwiched by two losses, and we go over a wide variety of topics including the so-called goaltending problem and the Power Play.

The Mermaid has been placed out of action for at least another week...filling in this week is none other than Mrs. Blueliner....and boy does she have opinions...
It was a rare week without a win. And it leaves us trying to find answers....and the answers don't come easily. But it does lead to a discussion that has more back and forth than a courtroom conversation.

Wishing all of our listeners a Safe and Happy 2022! Thanks for your continued support of the PPP!!

With Anna still on Holiday break this week the PPP proudly welcomes Caps fan and YouTuber Bradley Silvestro to the Co Host's mic.
Brad and I go over the two games played since last week's episode in great detail pointing out some highlights and some low lights when necessary. Every Caps fan has their own valuable perspective to bring to the table and Bradley is no different. If you have not seen his videos, I think you will enjoy his take on the team's play.

This Holiday season, please make a donation to Marine Corps Toys for Tots in memory of the late Caps fan Bekka Thomas.
This being the last week before the Holidays, all of us at the Powerplay Point Podcast would like to wish each and every one of you a great holiday season and a Merry Christmas!

This week Blake Allen of the Chirpin' DMV Podcast joins the Triple P once again. In yet another overly interesting week of Washington Capitals hockey we go over all three games played from a.....slightly different perspective...an analytical one. Hopefully when we're done you'll be even better with hockey metrics. Or at least smarter than a 5th grader....
Some terms you might hear:
xGA/60 = Expected Goals Against per 60 minutes
xGF/60 = Expected Goals For per 60 minutes
We wind up this week with shouts to two Caps fans who are in need of some good vibes, please send whatever you can their way. One of them is a Caps fan who finds themselves in need, please help by visiting the link below:

Happy Birthday Joe Beninati!
Anna and I celebrate a fantastic week of Caps hockey as our team gets back in the winning side for the week. Highlights include Zach Fucale's shutout performance in his debut, Lars Eller's first goal of the year and Garnet Hathaway's First Star performance, among others. Oh yeah and some guy getting his 742nd career NHL goal...
Could it be that Our Washington Capitals have found themselves in a.....goalie controversy???
