Friday, I went my first (only?) Washington Capitals game of the season. It was an uninspiring effort that saw a 0-0 game in the first period quickly turn into a 3-0 New York Rangers lead. The Caps were playing without passion and the Rangers rather easily converted little mistakes into goals. Goalie Michael Neuvirth did [...]
Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman spoke out to nationals.com during yesterday’s final day off of the season. The face of the franchise wants veterans to take more control of the clubhouse so that the manager can prepare for unnecessary double-switches manage. Zimmerman also doesn’t want players scolded publicly i.e. Jim Riggleman calling out Nyjer [...]
Top-seeded Washington Capitals fall, 3-2 in overtime, to Canadiens in Game 1 of first-round Stanley Cup playoff series – The PostI’m not shocked the Washington Capitals lost to the Montréal Canadiens last night – Bruce Boudreau sounded too defensive in remarks over the last two days and that may have set the tone. I am [...]
Capitals fall to Bruins, 4-3 in a shootout, in finale, but now it’s time for the playoffs and the Canadiens – The PostThe Washington Capitals fell to the Boston Bruins in a shootout yesterday (coach Bruce Boudreau sent Boyd Gordon and Matt Bradley out for shots), but the big news is that #1 seed Caps [...]
JOHN FEINSTEIN – Capitals Should Revel in Every Banner Night – The PostFeinstein thinks the Capitals should have done more than unfurl their 2008-2009 Southeast Division title banner. I disagree, unfurling it instead of raising it is the right message to the players and fans — division titles are nice, but there are two bigger [...]

I’m glad the Nationals and Capitals are cross promoting each other. the Nats need to do this with every D.C. team. I want Jim Zorn of the Redskins, Flip Saunders of the Wizards, college coaches etc. and even Tom Soehn of D.C. United, out there before the respective seasons too. Draft picks out to be [...]
A few items from our nation’s Capitals:

Potomac Books (Dulles, Va.) announced this morning that Boudreau’s autobiography, co-written with Bears beat writer Tim Leone, will be on sale at your local bookstore in time for next hockey season.
I like Coach Boudreau an awful lot, but Jack Adams Award [...]
Another win for the Capitals on Saturday night moved them up .500 (The Post) for the first time since October. Coach Bruce Boudreau took it in stride as the quote above attests. They got eight out of ten points on the just-concluded homestand, naturally losing only the game I was at — January 13 vs. [...]
We’ll get our first look at the Capitals under new “interim” coach Bruce Boudreau this afternoon at 1 p.m. against the Flyers in Philadelphia in a big La Coupe Hauxer matchup. Telecast is on Comcast SportsNet.
I kind of think winning in overtime/shootout would be the best possible scenario for building confidence, but beggars can’t be [...]
