Recorded May 7- 12th, 2024

 

And so it ends....but just for a while anyway.

 

This past season was a fun and hellacious one for Our Caps and they took us all on a ride we hadn't experienced in  a while. I reserve the final commentary for two of our podcast's finest supporters, Paul Hackett anbd Stewart Small. Each has their own persepctive on what went well (and not so well) with an eye to the future for the team we all love.

So farewell for the summer, loyal listeners...and LET'S GO CAPS!

Recorded April 27, 2024

 

Anna is off today, C4 Cheryl Anne Forster steps up for cohosting duties. John Blackburn from the CAPtasTROPHIES singing duo graces our show again; both are here to provide some much needed group therapy after Our Caps go down 0-3 against the Rangers.

We go through our usual recaps of the three games, pointing out the obvious and a little of the not so obvious. Believe it or not, there is some good to be mined from what hsa happened. Always fun to discuss with knowedgeable Caps fans!

And to wind things up, John B. is good enough to entertain us solo with a song!

Hello and welcome to the 2024 NHL PLAYOFFS!

The Mermaid and I go over the final week of the Caps' regular season fortunes, which of course resulted in their earning the last seat on the plane that is the 2024 NHL playoffs. 

 

At about 25 minutes in we roll out several hashtags we would like for you, our listeners to spread as much you can to help us put the word out about the playoff run:

 

#NoquitCaps

#Capsbandofbrothers

#Talladegababy

Naturally there was some backlash from how things happened. And we answer it.

And finally a very limited preview of the series against the New York Rangers---spoiler alert (to no one) the series is really going to get nasty!

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!
