Checking in With John Carlson’s Mustache

AUTHOR: | IN: Random | COMMENTS: None Yet

This is the second year sophomore defenseman John Carlson is participating in Movember, and he currently leads all Caps in donations. “Cancer is something that I’ve had to deal with in my family. Anything this easy to help raise money for a great cause is a no brainer for me and I’m happy to do it,” Carlson said. Unfortunately for Carlson, who turns 22 in January, growing the actual mustache is the most difficult part. It is there. It’s just very light-colored and short. Caps Outsider: “That’s the best you can do?” John: (smiling) “Yeah” Perhaps in a few years [...]

Unleash the Caps Rally Balloon!

AUTHOR: | IN: Random | COMMENTS: None Yet

Caps fans have found their octopus. Decades without a really good gimmick for these sorts of occasions (other than cries to Unleash the Fury which simply isn’t the same thing), someone in the stands had the bright idea of unleashing a red rally balloon. And it worked, because shortly after, the reddest of all the Caps, Cody Eakin, scored a goal. “That’s pretty wild, but hey I guess right time right place,” Eaken told reporters after the game. And in case you’re wondering, Caps Rally Balloon is on Twitter.

Players Tied with Ovechkin in Goals

AUTHOR: | IN: Stats | COMMENTS: None Yet

Alex Ovechkin is obviously in a bit of a slump, and off to a slower than hoped for start this season. To help illustrate that point, I figured I’d put together a little list of other players who have 7 goals so far this season : David Clarkson, RW – NJ Jason Garrison, D – FLA Christopher Higgings, LW – VAN Tuomo Ruutu, C – CAR Patric Hornqvist, RW – NSH Christ Kunitz, LW – PIT Curtis Glencross, LW – CGY David Jones, RW – COL Alexander Steen, LW – STL Chris Kelly, C – BOS Craig Smith, C – [...]

Good, Bad, and (Very) Ugly – 3 Games Tonight in the Caps Family

AUTHOR: | IN: Hershey Bears, Stingrays | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

It’s always a touch concerning when the sole bright spot in a 3-game, all-levels-playing night is your ECHL team.  Your South of the Mason-Dixon Line ECHL team. While this was not the case tonight, it was pretty damn close.

In Hopes of Inspiring a Change on the Ice, Hershey Gives out… Lightbulbs?

AUTHOR: | IN: Hershey Bears | COMMENTS: None Yet

Every franchise has its quirks. Oddball behaviors and unusual good luck charms, rituals and rites. Vancouver has their Towel Power.  Chicago sings the most raucous anthem in the league.  In Detroit, they throw octupi. In hopes of prolonging a winning streak, players will repeat any element of their routine that might possibly be a factor. Patrick Roy talked to his posts.  Brent Seabrook has a chocolate fixation.  To break a losing snap, players will cut their hair, change their laces, change their everything until something clicks. The Caps, Hershey Bears, and South Carolina Stingrays are all losing right now (and if [...]
