Our fifth show will ReCap the (ahem) doings at the Trade Deadline. The we go into the Caps struggles and how they can still get into the playoffs despite their recent lackluster play. Finally, we jump back in time to celebrate the contributions of Blacks in ice hockey. Our focus is on Willie O'Ree, but discuss the rich tradition and history of other players of color that have contributed. Stay tuned for a bit of OT on this subject after the end of the third--my thoughts on what it truly means to overcome racism. Special thanks once again to Dr. Garth Vaughan, Mike Walsh, and Joe Pelletier for their awesome websites which helped a lot.

Sorry this one's a bit late...in this month's show we go over the recent goings-on at this year's All-Star game, including a self imposed snub by our very own Captain. Also, there's some discussion of a snub of a different kind--the Tim Thomas White House snub. There's also a Caps' mid-season report including a rating of the best forward and defenseman on the Caps so far this season. To close, we have our version of the WABAC machine. This show we go back in time to the very first All Star game ever, which was created out of tragedy. But don't worry, we end the show a much lighter note--my favorite All Star game story. Special thanks and much love to Walter Stewart III of Walteeze productions for lending his music to the show. The track is called No Matter What (Imma Push to the Limit) and is featured in the 2nd period.

In the third show, we'll discuss all the changes behind the bench--both around the league and with our Capitals. We will also take a look at the new realignment plan for next year. Finally, our historical segment will take us all the way back to the game's outdoor origins in light of the upcoming Winter Classic in Philadelphia.

In my second show we'll talk about Sidney Crosby's long-awaited return to action. There's also some strong words about a controversial hit that went unpunished last week. In related news, the NHLPA has decided to be more proactive in concussion prevention and treatment and I mention how courtesy of an article I saw in the Hockey News, the Bible of hockey. The second period--what's wrong with the Capitals? I'll tell you what and give my thoughts on possible solutions. You might be surprised. Finally there's our history period and for this show I discuss another goalie, Johnny Bower. He just celebrated his 87th birthday and still has a lot to teach us about the game. It might just help Alex Ovechkin improve his game! Thanks for listening!
