With the Mermaid still out with an injury, we call upon the experience and talent of former hockey player Jacob Michael of the Sudden Death Sports Podcast to help us out this Christmas episode.
Our Capitals gave us another great week of hockey and we go over all three wins in detail focusing on the most recent game where Alex Ovechkin passed the great Gordie Howe for second all time in most goals scored in the NHL. Jacob gives his perspective on the trials of being a player especially with rumors abound concerning an expansion of the regular season schedule. But it also looks like the forecast could be looking very good for the Caps in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
In our first local business segment we highlight the works of the wonderful Hansel Hill Farm in Millersville, Maryland. If you have a small local business anywhere in the DMV (or anywhere, period) that you's like for us to put pur spotlight on please let us know!
In case you miss the on ice action live you can also read the game recap articles at the Maryland Sports Blog.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us here at the Powerplay Point Podcast!

With the Mermaid out due to an unexpected injury, longtime supporter Paul Hackett joins us to fill in as co-host.
In our ongoing efforts to make YOU, the Caps fan the star, we give Paul the "talk show" treatment this being his first time with us. He tells us his personal story about how he got his start as a Caps fan.
We go over all four games in the past week, yes including the one where Ovi got his 800th goal. Fair warning, there is an obscenity-laced tirade about a certain four letter network and their piss poor coverage of said game. Yes I said it.

With the Mermaid still temporarily out, Cheryl Anne Forster (lovingly known as C4) joins us again to add her always hot takes on Caps hockey. We have the pleasure of going over a 3-0 week, not that the episode is missing complaints. In fact there's a segment on the Capitals' power play that should probably be labeled NSFW. There's also another plea for Caps fans to finally accept this team, warts and all, new guys and all. Wishing for old goalies to come back doesn't solve anything.
Finally, as our featured game is one that C4 attended, we also have the benefit of going over a brief meet up involving her and two other fans of both our Caps and the podcast that occurred at the game. Here's hoping more fans get on board. Tell a Caps fan you love today about us!
Be sure to catch Cheryl Anne and myself Monday evening the 12th at 9 PM on the Sports on the Hill Podcast as we discuss our team in an extended Caps Talk segment.

With the Mermaid out for the next 2 weeks and a Quarter Pole report due, the Triple P calls upon the services of Jacob Michael of the Sudden Death Sports Podcast. Jacob joins us again to offer his insights on not only the Caps week of play but also to evaluate Our Caps now that the first 20+ games are done. It is an optimistic yet honest (brutally at times) assessment of the team. Some of you may agree, some may not. But either way know that we still believe in Our Caps.

The Mermaid and I go over the Caps 2-1 week but first she explains why she will be absent for the next two episodes. Mahalo to those who stay throughout the whole thing,,,
....and I have a special message for you fair weather fans with regard for a certain ex-goalie...
Keep the faith Caps fans, we may yet see better days soon enough!
We end the episode with a dedication to a recently fallen hockey hero...without this man there would probably be no Swedes in professional hockey.
Ladies and gentlemen we remind you that it is still Hockey FIghts Cancer month. As such we ask that, if you have the means, to please donate as much as you are able to several (or any) cancer related charities:
The Mayo Clinic The American Cancer Society St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Anna and I go over (as quickly and mercifully as possible) the Caps going 0 for 4 this past week's worth of games. Buckle up.
I will warn you now--there is a bit of R-rated language and some of it is actually from me. Might not want to play this at work or in front of the young ones....
In our second half we give our dedication to several listeners of the show that are not only brave enough to endure what cancer has done to their lives but also kind enough to share of their stories.
Also to that end, we continue to spotlight Linda and Craig Laughlin's foundation to help those with rarer forms of cancer. You can learn all about who they are and what they do here.

In something of an....abbreviated episode the Mermaid and I briefly go over with as much energy as we can muster the events of last week's games.
That would be because I now have COVID. Fear not, we will continue as best we can. At least it was something of a good week on the ice....
This holiday season be sure to give to Marine Corps Toys for Tots
In so doing you honor a great friend of the show who served proudly in the United States Marine Corps, Rebekka Thomas who was also a great Caps fan.
Thank you all for your continued support for our podcast...it truly means the world to me and to all of us.

The Mermaid is back (though at about 85%) and we're on again to talk Caps Hockey!
Unfortunately that's about as positive as it's going to get....
We go over the four game skid, focusing on the last minute loss to Arizona among other things. If you wanted a vent session, now is the time! But despite all that there are signs of hope so we go over a few good things too....where we can find them.
Also some shouts to some long time listeners/friends of the show. We also briefly get into Hockey Fights cancer which is this whole month. Please visit the NHL's website which features how you can get involved!
