Our Washington Capitals' home stand ends....with a thud. Home cooking as it turns out is not always good.
Anna and I recap the past week's action winding up the home stand. It is clear that the lines need further adjusting and the Special Teams need a classic butt kicking based on the results of the past few games. A similar approach may be required for my laptop.
The good---Jakub Vrana (teacher's pet) and Travis Boyd seem to have bounced back. So it can be said that the kids are all right. Well some of them anyway.
Speaking of the younger folk, the Farm report features a spotlight on two up and coming players in Hershey that will have new opportunities now that call ups have been made due to recent injuries on the Caps' blueline corps.
Our apologies if the audio quality is not up to par, inquiries are being made to improvements. As always donations are greatly appreciated to assist with equipment upgrades.

Anna and I get back to basics in this episode. As only 2 games were played in the week previous due to the NHL's perpetually perplexing scheduling the recaps will be brief. They will also be entertaining and meaningful. Basically we both agree :0 that there isn't much to worry about and that Our Washington Capitals will eventually find their way back to being much more consistent.
For fans of Anna--there is a major hint drop of a holiday gift she would VERY much be interested in....
Also, be sure to catch her for Caps talk live Mondays at 7 pm on the Sports on the Hill Podcast with Carroll and Robbie.
Tacked on to the end is the Chocolate Soldiers report with information provided by listener Don Mclaren.
Also: a reminder for listeners in the USA to do their civic duty and go out and VOTE!

In this call-in edition of the show Anna and I go over the week that was but not before a heartfelt message about the latest tragedies both here and in Pittsburgh. Our hearts are with the victims in Pittsburgh as well as with Linda Laughlin.
Guests Rashelle Wilcox (who talks about her eventful trip to see the Caps in Vancouver) as well as Fletch (not Chevy Chase) call in to provide their unique perspectives on the Caps. I think you will enjoy what they both have to offer.
NOTE: we were also scheduled to have listener Don Maclaren on with the Hershey report but could not get the content on due to unforeseen circumstances.
Anna-noyance meter: she gets a pass because she's still sick :(

Anna and I are each under the weather so our apologies...
Thanks to all who gave their time to answer our call to send reviews to Apple Podcasts as we are now 9 reviews strong all at 5.0!
Anna and I tried to keep this short given our health issues....and you see how well THAT worked out. We go over the ins and outs of the three games played and focus on a few players who may or may not be deserving of ice time (spoiler alert if you like Bingo, 79 is good, 65 not so much).
Thanks to listener Don Maclaren we stumble into our first attempt to cover how things are going in Chocolate Town. Don was gracious enough to provide his report from the last several games' worth of action from the Bears...due to time constraints however I'm not sure we did it justice. But we do hope to make it a regular part of the show.
Special thanks also to Robbie Gross of the Sports On The Hill Podcast who graciously gave his time and efforts not only for a review but also to provide our quick link (see below). Be sure to catch him, Carroll Porter III (and Anna for Caps talk) on their show covering all things DC Sports every Monday at 7 PM ET.

Don't let the title fool you...everyone stays fully clothed.
Anna and I discuss the recent goings on first off then on the ice with Our Washington Capitals. The recent Dulles Expo yielded a good time for all who attended, especially my co-host who came away with some nice pics. These can be seen at our Facebook page.
Then we get into some actual hockey. It was an up and down week to say the least. Game recaps along with our one-of-a-kind breakdown of the action. Plus a quick preview of the next few games.
And for those interested, yes there is a game-within-the-podcast. Play along with your beverage of choice!

Anna and go live through Uberconference to take YOUR calls in our ongoing effort to make YOU the Caps fan the star!
But first we discuss what was a disastrous (not for me) and disappointing (again not for me) visit to see Lord Stanley's Cup in good old Hershey, PA. OK so for me there was some bad and even ugly....but not where it mattered most.
Phone lines opened with most of that story told when Anna's good friend and Caps' fan Rachelle Wilcox callss in and shares her timely observations on a variety of topics including:
The Tom Wilson suspension
The Lars Eller mugging by Ratface Marchand
The Banner Raising on Opening Night
And finally I close the episode with a request for good vibes for an ailing fellow Caps fan, Rebekka Thomas. This tough young lady has been through a lot in recent months and her health has suffered because of it. But not being one to need pity, she only needs the positive energy as we at the PPP can provide...so let's show her that real Caps fans stick together!

Our Washington Capitals are about to begin their 45th season...as the DEFENDING STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Before we get into our hopes for 2019 however Anna and I are forced to discuss recent events. The one concerning a certain player who wears #43. The tone of this discussion just might surprise you. The hell with that---it WILL surprise you.
In addition we talk about other issues facing the team over the course of the season. There is also the matter of the final roster, which has some new additions including one that will make fans yodel. (No we don't discuss Dimirij Jaskin, that's for next week)
To end our first episode for 2018-19 we issue an invite to any and all listeners to the upcoming appearance of Stanley himself in Hershey this coming Sunday Oct. 7th...hope to see you there!

Welcome back! Anna and I are back from summer vacation with tales of non hockey misadventures. What we did will hopefully be entertaining to you.
What has NOT been entertaining is the Caps' preseason play so far. More misadventures there to be discussed for sure. Also certain players we like, dislike and have not seen due to.....issues.
Enjoy!

With the major hockey activity winding down and the summer heating up, Anna and I get together one last time to bid hockey adieu for the season. But fear not--we will be backcome traning camp.
The Mermaid and I field an "Ask anything" segment from listeners with some stellar questions about the team and its, ahem, attributes...
Wish there was more to say but I think you'll listen and understand that we saved the best for last.
Thank you listeners and Caps fans for making this a kick ass year, enjoy the Cup and the summer...we all deserve it!
And thank you, Podbean....

Hope you are enjoying the Summer, Caps fans!
Anna and I with True Caps Fans admin Chris Levesque discuss the answer to the musical question:
"When was the moment you as a Caps fan began to believe this season would be special?"
We also read posts that address the same question from our Facebook page. Stay tuned there for further developments!
Please leave a review in iTunes, it will help us greatly! Thanks for believing!
