Plenty of candidates have come out over the last three-and-a-half weeks since the firing of […]
Good Riddance!!!
It had to happen. Adam Oates and George McPhee had to go away. When you have an owner proclaiming that this year’s Capitals were the deepest team in team history, you would think that they would at least get to the second round again (and if this is a real NHL franchise, that is about […]
What should we make of the Washington Wizards?!?!
Since the Capitals decided to be an absolute disgrace this season, there really wasn’t anything else to do this spring when it came to watching sports with pure joy.

Who will win the 2014 NHL draft lottery?
If you read my post about last year’s draft lottery, you will remember how stupid I thought having all fourteen non-playoff teams getting a chance at the number one pick is.

How much is Mikhail Grabovski worth?
Since the NHL is on Olympic break for more than a week, fans can take a break from cheering for their teams and either root for their country or watch the best in the world team up for Olympic gold. For number crunchers like myself, data is at a temporary stand still and we can […]
Why should America care more about rugby?
With the Super Bowl over, another season of football is over. However, some are already missing the shear athleticism and legal violence that football brings. So what are you to do?
