Saturday Roundup: We've Seen Atlanta Dish It Out, But Can They Take It?
No local coverage of the Caps today. A week-and-a-half in and our locals scribes are already out of things to say about this team? Not good. I don't have much to offer either, but did dig out the following note:Alexander Ovechkin may be on the verge of history. If he registers a point against Tampa...
Friday Roundup/Panthers 3, Capitals 2
[Boxscore - Recap]Stop me if you've heard this one before - the Caps got badly outshot, but Olie Kolzig kept them in the game. Unfortunately they didn't get any offense from anyone other than Alex Ovechkin and, as a result, they lost. The Caps are making life too easy for recap writers. In Miami...
Fight Night, Redux
For far too long, Bob Hartley's Atlanta Thrashers have been tossing around questionably-legal elbows, knees and slashes like rice at a wedding. Wednesday night, Caps' coach Glen Hanlon and his Washington Capitals had had enough. But before we get into that, let's get a few facts out there for...

The other two games were, um, closer, as the Flames and Oilers needed a shootout to settle things before a soldout crowd at Rexall Place and the Coyotes beat the Wild...

Shall We Officially Start The Bob Hartley Watch?
When I previewed the Thrashers over at FanHouse back in late August, I thought that head coach Bob Hartley was the man "on the hook" in Blueland, noting that "should Atlanta get off to a slow start, don't be surprised if someone else is behind the bench come Christmas." And while it's still very...
Tuesday Roundup/Panthers 4, Caps 3
[AP Recap - Game Summary - Super Stats - WashingtonCaps.com Postgame]When the Caps surrendered the dreaded last-minute goal with 51 seconds left in the first to break a 1-1 tie, you had a feeling that the team would need a shot in the arm to get back in the game - be it a pep talk, a shake-up in...
Wednesday Roundup/Caps 4, Lightning 1
[Boxscore - Recap]Before I get into the recap of last night's game, you may recall that yesterday I mentioned the Asian guy who rocked the arena with his smooth dance moves during The Hockey Song. Well, through the magic of the internets I can now show you the video (though it doesn't do the...
