Tonight from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. there is broomball at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Ballston, Arlington. I think it is going on tomorrow night too. Last week it cost me $7 to play. It is worth noting that a broomball shootout would be an excellent way to settle La Coupe Hauxer.
Also, did you see [...]

Winning over Richmond – Times-DispatchA look from Richmond’s paper of record about what kind of marketing Washington teams are doing in Virginia’s capital. In short, the Redskins are very active down there while the Wizards are getting more active. The Capitals focus most of their out of town marketing on Baltimore, but have a little [...]

I went to the Kettler Capitals Iceplex last weekend with the hope of playing broomball. Unfortunately, only two others had similar intentions so we didn’t get to play. I am going to try again this Friday at 6:45 p.m. Come over and join the fun! Or more accurately, come over and make sure the fun [...]

Sure, it is going to be 90$deg; or so today, but the Kettler Capitals Iceplex has broomball from 6:45 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. this evneing. I think I’ll be there.

I ordered my Capitals Uniform Unveiling/Draft Party tickets this afternoon. The Red Rink, where the jersey will actually be unveiled, were gone by the time I ordered, so I’ll be at the Blue Rink, unless somebody wants to hook me up with Red Rink tickets. Either way, it should be a lot of fun.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — I caught the final Capitals game of the season on Saturday with MC Hamme and my co-worker Fred, a Western NY native. Fred was pleased to see the Buffaslugs win 2-0.
The Sabres fans were loud and proud. However, I had a few answers for all the “Let’s go Buff-a-lo” chants:
“Go back to [...]

Today is the last Capitals game of the season. It has been a long, frustrating one, but I’ll still be sorry to see it go. I’ll also be sorry to miss Japers Rink’s Happy Hour at Clydes. That looks like so much fun, but it conflicts with Easter plans. I’ll have to settle for reading [...]

I don’t have much hope for tonight’s Capitals vs. Pengyunz game. The Caps are simply too young and too hurt for me to get too excited about their prospects of winning. The flightless birds on the other hand have finally gotten all of their high draft picks (earned by half a decade of futility and [...]

You may know this boy from such classics as Let’s Get Pittarded (Run Up the Score!). Apparently, he is the son of a state representative and has become a folk hero in Arn City. Hopefully that’ll keep him from joining the Western Pennsylvania exodus to greater D.C.
