Show # 251---Caps After Deadline 2024 Special Guest Starring Marcus Lemley and Cheryl Anne Forster

Recorded March 10, 2024

 

We are joined again by Marcus Lemley of the Sucram's Capitals Off Their Chain podcast now that the 2024 NHL trade deadline has come and gone. Joining us as well is Cheryl Ann Forster/C4 as well as a surprise appearance by Mrs. Blueliner herself, my wife Jennie.

We begin by reviewing the two games played in the week, both great wins over a couple of bad/very bad teams....happily one of which was the Penguins! THe other game I yelled myself hoarse so I apologize for sounding like a frog in perpetual mid-croak.

The remainder of the episode is dedicated to evaluating and analyzing the three deals made by Our Caps within the deadline period. 

 

As always we invite YOU, the Washington Capitals fan to be a part of the discussion....join us on a future show if you want to be heard!

Show #250---Caps at the Deadline 2024

Recorded March 3, 2024

 

As Our Caps and the rest of the NHL bound toward the trade deadline, we are facing a makeover for them the likes of which may not be seen again. So naturally I gave Anna the weeks off for her birthday.

 

Joining me is Marcus Lemley of the Sucram's Capitals Off Their Chain podcast. We first evaluate the four games played over the past week. We then go into a dialogue about...you guessed it, who will most likely no longer be a Capital by this time next week.

 

On that subject, tune in to next week's episode where Marcus and I further evaluate the Capitals' activities (or perhaps the lack thereof?) post deadline.

Show #248---Icing, But Not on the Cake

Recorded February 18, 2024

 

With rapid fire action, Anna and I go over the 3 games played from Super Bowl Sunday to today. Our Caps went 1-1-1 displaying a marked improvement in their overall play and still proving they can keep up (mostly) with some of the top teams in the NHL.

 

Unfortunately some of the on-ice officials are having a LOT of trouble keeping up. We got into an extended rant caused by their latest such display of incompetence as was shown the the recent game in Montreal.  Enjoy!

Blueliner opens the show alone for our first segment. In their first action since the All Star Break, Our Caps go 1-2. But before we go through the recaps I have a personal message about the other happenings this week.

In or recording before the All Star break, the Mermaid and I go over a road trip for Our Caps that was almost as disastrous as a Chevy Chase Vacation movie.

Anna and I go over the three games played last week during the lovely wintery weather we've had here.  A featured component was the contributions of TJ Oshie so we also go over what he (still) means to the team...and why he may not be as disposable as previously thought,

 

We close with a personal message for one of our family members, Cheryl Anne Forster (C4) who lost her beloved mother this week. We send our love and prayers with you.

Anna is back to start the new year....

But the first week wasn't a fun one. As a result we're not in a very good mood. Apologies to those it might affect but this goaround we are going to tell it like it is....

 

We are not happy with the Caps play as of late.
