Hello elimination my old friend.....
The is the dreaded Post Mortem episode for 2017. A long, agonizing bit of reflection on what went wrong, what could have been and what should be in the year that was supposed to be but wasn't.
Possibilities for who leaves and who stays in the upcoming offseason of uncertainty.
Also, a note to Penguins fans. Don't be so proud. Because you shouldn't be.
And my thanks to all Caps fans/friends both old and new.
NOTE--special recognition to Robbie Gross whom I unfortunately forgot to mention in my thanks towards the end of the episode. Thanks Robbie for being a true inspiration!
We will be back....Caps and their fans are here to stay.

Need a little excitement?
Watch a Washington Capitals playoff game!
Many aspects to be covered regarding the progess of this latest series against the Soreheads from Steeltown. Offense, defense goaltending, we cover it all.
Oh yeah that thing that happened with that Crosby guy and all the junk that goes with it.
Several fans' input into the situation---nice to have fans.
Buckle up and bring plenty of Xanax and Zantac. You're going to need it!

Leaving Toronto in the old rear view!
In this episode we discuss that which obviously went right, and that which went wrong in the first round series against the Leafs. Also, a player by player evaluation through the whole roster.
Also the final verdict on Schmidt vs. Alzner. Plus a final, ehh, gesture to the Canadian hockey media.
Penguins, the Caps are coming, and they're playing to win.

Ok. Here. We. Are. Again.
I know it looks bad, but....
Four scores and seven periods ago....
Don't fire 'til you see the whites of their jerseys...?
Look, if you want panic go somewhere else. That said this will be one Caps fan that isn't taking the progress (or lack thereof) in this series lightly. There's no need for a rallying cry just yet, it's only been 3 games.
We will discuss what has gone right so far (not a lot) and what has gone wrong (a lot). Some expert opinion on one of the main causes for how this series has gone. And of course, why it's not a bad idea to keep the faith.

Well here we are. Finally.
A brief-as-I-can-make-it preview of the other seven series.
And how I believe the series against the Maple Leafs will go. What to look for, who to listen to and MOST importantly who NOT to listen to.
This is it Caps fans. Cheer your loudest, do whatever it is you have to do.
Because it begins now.
Well, Thursday night more accurately but you get the point....

Welcome Caps fans!
Naturally we'll discuss not-so-Caps news for the first half. But these are important to hockey. Plus how could I pass up a chance to make fun of the Commissioner? Also, a triumph for women's hockey in the USA. And the misadventures of a hated rival.
In Caps news, we go over the current road trip and what to look for in tonight's game. Plus kudos to an unsung Swede who's earned a moment in the NHL spotlight for a week...no, not the one you're thinking of. Plus could it be goodbye for our beloved backup?
Enjoy!

Ugh, another Left Coast trip sees the Caps retun in a state of being Californication...
But it looks like our boys have gotten things back on track. Also, I weigh in on an internal debate between defenseman and playing time.
We also celebrate a new fan celebrity among our ranks, none other than a gentleman from across the sea I'm proud to call a friend. I retell the story of his awesome soothsaying during a recent game.
In other news there are playoffs that are in the process of just getting to a looooong start. And there is the conclusion of the other Cup.
Winding up the show is a look back at a former Caps' goalie who uh has our number. Enjoy!

Ladies and gentlemen Our Washington Capitals have done it again. They went out last night and laid an egg of a game. Because they had no heart. Because they didn't feel like playing like they wanted to.
Needless to say I am not happy about it. And when I'm not happy I like to let the world know about it.
Also, I kinda need some downloads stats uppped my way or at least some kindly donations. Anything O ye few but faithful decide to do is fine by me.
Enjoy!

Back from hiatus and it feels so mediocre. Doing this one off the cuff (how else?) and my apologies for not getting out there ssoner. So we all know what happened, the question is this---does this deal finally put our belved Caps over the top? That question and others to be answered. Hopefully.
