In our final segment for February 2022 in honor of Black History month the Mermaid and I welcome another longtime Black Washington Capitals fan Lorenzo Robinson. I guarantee you will enjoy his takes on this week's worth of....well, what passed for Caps hockey.
Lorenzo also speaks about his experiences as a VIP package holder and Caps season ticket holder. Like with any story worth hearing, there's a good side and a bad side. Lorenzo tells it all. Do please give this a listen.
Next week begins our celebration of Womens' History Month. Ladies it will be your turn to take the spotlight. Let's hear from you!

The Mermaid and I welcome two longtime Black fans of Our Washington Capitals--Stewart Small and Tyron Waller. Both offer their keen observations with regard to the Caps' play as of late. Tyron in particular attended the Nashville game at the Bridgestone Arena and offers his thoughts and critiques of the game seeing it from a live perspective.
Both guests also offer their thoughts and observations on how to make the game we all love more inclusive to all, especially to African American fans. Tune in for a fun episode that covers a lot of topics!

Hope everyone enjoyed the big game...because what the Caps play was neither big nor a game for the most part. The Mrs. joins me again to go over a mostly grueling and agonizing week of Caps hockey.
Fair warning, there's quite a bit of yelling inspired by libations and a lot of opinions expressed are not all that favorable. Try to enjoy if you're into that sort of thing...

Our Washington Capitals head into the All Star Break with more than a few question marks. Joining me this week to cover the final 2 games before the break is Cheryl Anne Forster, a longtime Caps fan who is a regular attendee of games at CapitalOne including the lone home game this past week against the Oilers.
CFor and I go over all of the good and all of the bad that we saw....happily the week ends with a fun trip to Vegas for our two All Stars Evgeny Kuznetsov and Tom Wilson. Pay attention to her observations, you just might learn something...
Reminder to our African-American listeners--we want YOU to come on and tell your story as a Washington Capitals fan starting next week!

Anna returns for this episode after an extended break and doesn't hold back in her opinions on the Caps' recent, uhhh inconsistent play of late. And neither do I. HINT---the language gets a bit foul. Think of milk 2 weeks beyond its sell by date.
The two losses (especially the one I attended) are gone over in painful detail, but with a twist of hope for the future as that's what we're all about here. Anna also puts in her $0.02 about the lineup changes for better or for worse.
Show notes---Anna will be out next week, in her place will be a Special Guest who was with me at the Wednesday game vs the Sharks!
At the time of the recording it had yet to be announced that Evgeny Kuznetsov would be a last minute replacement in the 2022 NHL All Star game. Congrats!

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.

The Consigliere himself, Christian Levesque of the True Caps Fans Facebook room makes his return to the Podcast to apply his patented analysis to this past week's on-ice action.

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.
