As the old saying goes, hope springs eternal.  For the Washington Capitals, hope in a playoff spot may seem like an eternal shot in the dark right now.  Yes, it was great for the Caps to honor captain Alex Ovechkin this past weekend with a tribute for passing “Mr. Hockey” Gordie How and rightly so – Ovechkin is the face …

Yes, it’s true.  The Washington Capitals are in effect writing off this season in an effort to gain momentum in their rebuilding mode for the ’23-’24 season.  While there’s some hockey left to play and yes the Caps can still make a wild card run, the reality is starting to sink in that this franchise is looking to the future …

While it probably doesn’t come as a shock or even the hint of surprise to hockey fans and the Washington Capitals’ faitfhul, team captain Alex Ovechkin has been once again added to the annual All-Star game roster.  Representing the Caps’ as an organization, Ovechkin was selected by the league to play as a starter in the annual showcase.

With the Christmas season winding down and another impending New Year facing us, what will 2023 bring to the Washington Capitals?  Well, right now it looks like the Caps are finally starting to get on the right track in terms of their season.  With a 20-13-5 overall record and 8-1-1 in the last ten games, the Caps, despite all the injuries, despite …

The sports world is full of stories of players pursuing almost-insurmountable records and recently hockey fans were treated to another of those herculean-like accomplishments with Caps’ captain Alex Ovechkin joining the 800 goal club.  Despite the fact that Ovechkin’s goal came on the road in Chicago, his accomplishment is still worth a standing “Ovi”tion for not only Caps fans but …

While Thanksgiving used to be a bellwether for predicting a team’s Stanley Cup playoff chances each year, the Christmas holiday season seems to be the new “norm” in measuring if NHL teams have a chance of making the postseason.  With Christmas two weeks away, the Washington Capitals have found a very appropriate time to find new life to their 2022-23 season. How …

There comes a time for every major sports franchise to accept the reality that they have lost their competitive edge and sadly for the Washington Capitals, that time seems to have arrived with the 2022-23 season.  Father Time has caught up with this organization and GM Brian MacLellan’s shoulders must be getting a massive workout lately with the burdens placed on this …

You can probably guess my age by now simply by the title reference but the Talking Heads’ song “Road to Nowhere” should be adopted as the Washington Capitals’ theme song this season.  How can a team who made the Stanley Cup playoffs last season simply be a listless, meandering franchise playing simply for nightly paychecks this year?

In hockey, having the longevity to play for nearly two decades is a testament not only to good health but the ability to stay competitive.  For Alex Ovechkin, his name is  basically synonomous with the Washington Capitals and this past weekend the Caps’ leader marked a new milestone and recorded his permanent place in the NHL record books.
