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:

Anna returns from Thanksgiving for another stellar week of Caps hockey.......
We are 25% complete with the 2021-22 NHL season and Our Washington Capitals are in awesome shape. We recap thee past week's games and some of the reasons for their recent success. Yes, a lot of it has to do with the younger guys....and perhaps that guy who wears the 'C' as well....

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???
As it is Hockey Fights Cancer month we dedicate a portion of the episode to Linda Laughlin, whose story of surviving a rare form of cancer continues not only to inspire but to serve the community well.

Three games, three losses...not exactly a great week for Our Caps...but the Mermaid and I will take you through it all.
We begin with a brief catchup and well wishes to ailing Caps fan Gunnar Dean of the DMV Caps Facebook page.
Also we put out a Public Service Message regarding Veterans' Day this year. Be an advocate for our Vets...they deserve our care.
The hockey coverage features a deep dive of sorts into the one game the Caps earned a point in---the OT loss to the Florida Panthers. Lots to like, and some things not as much.
How are you feeling? Ready to hit the panic button yet? Don't. Keep calm and remain a listener to our podcast. Better still tell a Caps fan about us today!
Thank you Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin!

Happy Halloween!
With the Mermaid out doing holiday duties, the Mrs. admirably fills in....
After proper intros and holiday wishes and warnings I begin with a soapbox moment with regard to recent events....understandably if you wish to skip, it ends about about 13:20.
We then go into a cluster recap (might even be a cluster something else?) of the three games from the week past. Suffice to say they offered a...variety....of quality hockey.
Several things are sure:
---Great Eight is on a TEAR so far
---Our Washington Capitals are still without a regulation loss
---The Triple P will continue to inform and entertain as best we can!
Enjoy, while recovering from your trick-or-treat hangover!

Life as a Caps fan is still good, we are in Week 2 of the season and Our Washington Capitals have still not lost in regulation...
While every game does matter, we dispense with our usual in-depth recaps in favor of a deeper dive into the most recent game against the Flames. Of course the usual highlights are notes are presented in our own way for all games, but as we explain this one was the most telling.
We then have the pleasure of having on as our guest a longtime listener and supporter of the PPP, the Red Rockin' trucker himself Eric Hayes. He comes on and gives us some great stories about his life on the road (live from actually being on the road at the time) as well as his thoughts about this year's team.
In something of an impromptu OT segment we are also visited later on by Robbie Gross of the Sports On the Hill Podcast who comes on to give his customary intuitive observations on the Caps so far in this early season.
