Show #222---Capital Slow Starters/Women’s History Month Week 3 with Very Special Guest Star Sammi Silber

Recorded March 19, 2023

Anna and I are proud to welcome to the show Sammie Silber of Washington Hockey Now in honor of Women's History Month.

In something of a departure of the show we focus solely on today's game against the Minnesota Wild. Sammi offers her professional opinion on the team's fortunes as well as her thoughts on the womens' game.

We also both quiz Sammi on a few....personal things, but nothing too ridiculous. Sorry guys :) Tune in for a truly interesting and fun conversation with one of the the DMV's best and brightest hockey minds.

Show #221---Caps Continue Run to Playoffs/Womens History Month Week 2

Recorded March 12, 2023

Anna and I go over last week's Caps games where we see a marked improvement in the team's competitveness thanks largely to their trade deadline acquisitions. 

Our apologies beforehand as we both seemingly had a case of having a massive brain fart before recording but as always we do our best to give it a listen!

We do not unfortunately have a guest available for this week to help celebrate Women's HIstory Month with us so instead we put the spotlight on several very interesting and worthwhile Women owned businesses right here in the DMV:

 

Allogram

East City Bookshop

Bastille Brasserie and Bar

Derm to Door

Cameron's Coffee and Chocolates via Every1canwork

 

Fingers crossed as the Caps ramp up their game for the playoff run...

Recorded March 5, 2023

As it is #womenshistorymonth we have not only the Mermaid but also Cheryla Anne Forster, C4 helping us through this first week of March. The weather is warmer (hopefully for a while) and so are Our Capitals.

To begin this month's celebration we start by going over the mission of the Professional Womens Hockey Players Association and what they stand for.

We then go over the two games played and also C4's visit to Buffalo for last weekend's game there. We also go over all of the deadline deals that were made and how the Caps may fare. Several of our loyal listeners gave their opionions beforehand and posted queries about the team's immediate future and we address those as well.

It's going to be a crazy ride these last few weeks of the season---hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

Ladies, our door is wide open for you to have your say. Join us, we wnat to hear your voices!

Show #219---End of the Run? Special guest starring Lorenzo Robinson

Recorded February 26, 2023

With the Mermaid taking some time off and the end of Black History month approaching for 2023, we welcome longtime Caps fan Lorenzo Robinson of HLR Courier and Shuttle to help us out with covering the last week's worth of games. And oh what a mess we have to sort out....

Our Washington Capitals have been on a terrible skid lately and with the trade deadline fast approaching, they have already made a drastic decision--with more likely to come. Lorenzo and I discuss the past four games (1 win three losses) as well as the options that lay before the team that will affect the long and the short term fortunes of the team. Lorenzo also discusses some difficulties he has experienced with being a season ticket holder.

Show #218---Another Tough week Special Guest Starring Dwain Thomas

Show #217--Caps are back from break....or are they??

Recorded February 12, 2023

Our Washington Capitals are finally back to playing hockey....but not at a level to brag about. We are also back to our regular podcast format for the time being to cover the latest doings.

The team appears to be rapidly approaching another crossroads tot he season. Without much urgency they are in danger of missing the playoffs. At the time of the recording they came off a very disappointing effort against one of the League's worst teams. There is very little we have to say that could be considered positive. You have been warned.....

 

For the rest of Black History Month we invite ALL Washington Capitals fans especially those in the African-American Community to have their say on our show. Please look us up on Facebook at the POWERPLAY POINT PODCAST and contact us if interested.
