Caps Intro for Game 2

Semin's GWG and Reaction from Caps Analyst

A Look Back to Caps-Rangers From Two Years Ago

Boudreau's F Bomb Speech

Some quick 24/7 opinions. I thought they made the Pens have more personality than the Caps which is way opposite of how the teams are perceived. Granted Pens are on a 12 game win streak and the Caps are on a 7 (and counting) losing streak.

Second, loved that they miked up the fights, including Ovie's in NY. After they fight they complement each other. Ovie F bombing in English, sign me up.

BB's speech after the 2nd period of the Florida game was great. Combine that with Asst Coach Dean Evason's speech at the end of the 2nd intermission against the Rangers blowout, we have great TV.

Hopefully the Caps can turn it around this weekend against Boston and Ottawa so they can be looked at with some positivity and character.

Here is BB's rant and I'll put up Evason's once I find it.



I have never seen a bunch of guys look so fucking down when something bad happens. What are you guys, like prima donna perfect that you can't fucking handle adversity? So shit's not going right. It's not fucking working the last 10 days. Fucking get your heads out of your ass and fucking make it work by outworking the opposition. You killed two fucking men, and then we stand around and watch while they fucking score here.

Fucking you just come to the bench like fucking this (puts head down) and when is the power play is not working and you're trying to stick handle looking like this and not standing ... OUTWORK THE FUCKING GUYS. If you want it, don't just think you want it. Go out and fucking want it! But you're not looking like you want it. You look like you're feeling sorry for yourselves, and nobody fucking wants somebody that's feeling sorry for themselves. You've got 20 fucking minutes and you're down by one fucking shot. Surely the fuck we can deal with this.

Caps - Pens 24/7 is Tonight at 10 on HBO

Little preview vid:

Check out the preview to HBO's "24/7"

Here's a 12 min preview of the Caps-Pens HBO 24/7 series for when they play the Winter Classic on Jan 1. Not going to lie, I'm kind of pumped about this and might go.

Caps Season Starts Friday

Game 7

In basketball, baseball and hockey, there's nothing like a Game 7. That's why I caved and am going tonight to the Caps game. It's nerve racking with anxiety and excitement.

I'm just hoping something like this happens today like it did one year ago exactly.

Eric Belanger Proves Hockey Players are Bad Ass

Game 5 sucked. The Caps have to go back to Montreal, hopefully pissed of and ready to go to end it in 6. One penalty missed by the refs was Eric Belanger (rhymes with lingerie) getting his face smashed by a stick.

Here he is bloodied and bruised, removing his own tooth and then playing in his very next shift. Bad Ass.

Ovechkin Sprays Kid

Habs fans are bitter because they are one game from getting eliminated from the playoffs. Their team is giving 100% but simply do not have the skill the Caps have. Watching these past two games, when Montreal gets down, they are showing their frustration by taking dumb penalties.

Now habs fans pretty much see the end and are now complaining about Ovechkin spraying some kid. Funny thing is they are grasping at straws because they completely respect him too. The kid is probably bragging to his friends that he was on the ice in the first place and the fact that he got snow sprayed by Ovie.

Game 5 on Friday.

Ovie and Backstrom Shooting Hoops

One is the two time MVP and the other becoming a top five center of the league. The both of them just completed a major comeback in Game 2 against Montreal with Ovie scoring 1 goal and 3 assists while Backstrom scored his first career hat trick and game winning OT goal. What do you do next to celebrate?

A) Party at regular DC hotspots like Russia House, Camelot, K Street

B) Eat a nice dinner and rest at home with friends?

C) Play some hoops on the Wizards practice court.

If you said C, you are correct. Here is Ovie and Backstrom shooting some hoops while waiting for their press conference. I guess they don't play much basketball in Sweden or Russia.
