It's another great week of Caps' hockey...continuing our celebration of Women's History Month, Anna and I are joined by Caps fan Betsy Myers who has a connection to a current Caps player among her other interesting life facts...
Betsy lends her voice with what (mostly) went right in this most recent Western Canada road trip, and also what went wrong and shares her thoughts about the women's game and being a female fan of the Caps.
PROGRAMMING NOTE: Next week we will record Saturday evening March 19th, please contact Anna or myself at our Facebook page.
Don't forget to catch Anna for Caps talk, the opening segment of the Sports on the Hill podcast.

This first show of March brings us to Women's History month and joining me this week to kick it off are Cheryl Anne Forster and Lynn Regert.
It was a much better week on ice for Our Washington Capitals, winning two out of three games. That doesn't necessarily mean all is well however and our guests adeptly point out the bad as well as the good from all three games. Our breakdown of each game includes an evaluation of several players as well as a final answer to the musical question...who should be the #1 goalie?
The final segment is devoted to examining Women's Pro Hockey and how to grow the game. We at the DMV got something of a taste of some of the world's best when the Secret Dream Gap Tour from the PWHPA visited Kettler Complex this weekend.

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.
