For the last 2 months I have been in an inconsistent disconnect with sports. Now I am back and ready for the fall. Speaking of fall, tonight is the first preseason game for the Redskins. I won’t preview the game and give you pointless obvious facts, rather I hope you enjoy the game and enjoy the fact that football is back. Hail to the Redskins

It’s Over
Posted in Capitals, NHL, Penguins, Pittsburgh, Playoffs, Washington on May 13, 2009| Leave a Comment »
The Pittsburgh Flightless Birds are going to the Eastern Conference Finals. The Penguins killed the Caps 6-2 in game 7 of the Eastern Conference semis. That is it, the season is over for Washington. The series lived up to all the hype and most of it was entertaining. Pittsburgh outplayed the Caps in every game; they out shot, out hustled and were more disciplined. Along the same lines and since the series is over, I can’t bite my tongue anymore. The referees were awful. The Caps lost because they were outplayed, but I can’t not think that the outcome may have been different if the penalty’s were more even. The Caps did commit more penalty’s, but the Penguins committed their fair share and didn’t get called foe them. Never the less, it is over. Thank you for a great season!

Caps Lose Game 4
Posted in Capitals, New York, NHL, Playoffs, Rangers, Washington on April 22, 2009| Leave a Comment »
The Rangers won 2-1 to take a 3-1 series league over the Caps. The Caps have dominated the games, but have only one win to show for it. I don’t believe the Rangers are a good team. It looks like the Caps are wearing them out. There is one reason for the Rangers success. His name is Henrik Lundqvist. He stopped 38 of 39 shots. If the Rangers hold on to win, it will because of Lundqvist.
Caps Win Game 3

Could it? Could it be true? Could the worst team in the NBA get their star back? The answer is YES! With 10 games left Gilbert Arenas is planning on coming back for a handful of games. Finally, we can see what this team may be capable of. The best part of this story is the publicity. This from a team that I’ve forgotten about this season. I hope it will create some optimism for next season.

Jason Taylor has been released by the Washington Redskins. The team released him over a contract dispute. The team wanted to put in a clause about team workouts. He didn’t want to comply, so the team released him. If he doesn’t want to give the team 100%, we don’t need him on our team. He may be a nice guy, but that doesn’t win championships. It also opens up more cap room.
CSN Eddie Jordan Interview
Posted in Eddie Jordan, Washington, Wizards on February 18, 2009| Leave a Comment »
The Washington Wizards are having a terrible season. It is hard to believe that last year this team was top 4 in the East. The man who coached the that team was Eddie Jordan. After am awful start, Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld decided enough was enough, and Jordan’s tenure as coach ended.
I didn’t and I still don’t like this move. We knew that after losing Gilbert Arenas and Brendan Haywood, it was going to be a long season. Eddie did so much for this team. He led the Wiz out form the MJ project and into the playoffs. It became a regular occurrence, but he couldn’t get the team past the first round. Comcast Sports Net Mid-Atlantic’s Chick Hernandez interviewed Jordan. The line that explained it all was, “We were always waiting on injuries.” That quote sums up Eddie’s time in DC.

Tonight in Tampa, Mike Green broke the record for consecutive goals by a defenseman with 8. The goal was a power play goal scored at 5:33 in the second. The Caps won 5-1 in their first game in the state of Florida this season. Congratulations Mike and lets keep it going.
Congratulations

NHL: Bruins Record Inflated
Posted in Boston, Bruins, Capitals, hockey, NHL, Washington on January 28, 2009| Leave a Comment »
Last night, the Washington Capitals lost to the Boston Bruins 3-2 in OT. The Bruins are the top team in the Eastern Conference with a record of 35-8-5 amounting 75 points. The Caps are in second place with a record of 30-15-4 equaling 64 points. Boston plays in a supposedly “Power Division” in the Northeast. The Caps play in the “Crappy” Southeast or “NASCAR” division. If that is the case, then are the Bruins that good? The B’s have played 14 games against southeast opponents, while the Caps have only played 8. Boston’s record is 12-2 (both loses to the Caps). Washington’s record against their division is 5-3. Using the numbers, Boston is finished with their fluff schedule and it is time for them to play real teams. If the Caps take care of business, they should have no issue catching Boston. Now I ask one more time, Are the Bruins really good or is has their schedule helped them out.
