Who Will Win the Metropolitan Division in 2017?
7. Columbus John Tortorella. Good night everyone. But in all seriousness, Columbus has some genuine talent on paper. All will depend, though, on how the likes of Oliver Bjorkstrand and Alexander Wennberg can step up and develop as top nine forwards this season. First round pick Pierre Luc-Dubois also made the opening night roster, but […]
Joshua, Wilder and Parker: Making Heavyweight Boxing Great Again
For some that have followed boxing for a long time, they will agree that it has been a long time since a heavyweight boxer has transcended the sport. Since the retirement of Lennox Lewis, the Klitschko brothers monopolized the division and have held the reigns for almost 12 years. Whether it is because of their […]
Nothing Makes Sense Anymore
So I have a confession to make. Remember that time when I mentioned that I won’t watch a single Redskins game? Welp, I did watch some Redskins this year. Whenever my floor hockey teammates would go to Gordon Biersch in Rockville, they’ll have it on there. I try not to watch, but then Kirk Cousins […]
2016 NHL Preview Nerdy 30: Please Don’t Torture Me Again Caps
PARDON ME WHILE I GO THROW UP 30. Arizona Like any bad team, the positives sides of this season will be to see how the future of this team will be doing. Like any bad team, it is because the veterans on the roster are that awful. Max Domi will certainly be a fun player […]
Why I Am Not Watching A Single Redskins Game Until Further Notice
So how many 0-16 seasons will it take until Dan Snyder learns any lesson. The answer is zero, of course. We learned that answer from 2013 and 2014. Why, because any sane NFL franchise would have treated the 2009 season as the lowest points in their livelihoods. As if Albert Haynesworth wasn’t enough to poison […]
Four Years to the Fourth Power
Since 2012, the Nationals have either been in the playoffs or within striking distance of making the playoffs. During that time, they have brought jubilation and, a bit too many times, heartbreak. The last three days definitely fell on the latter adjective. Here are my thoughts in 4^4 sentences. 1) Four years because you need […]
Lord Stanley’s Ramblings: Learning to Love Randy Whitman
After last year’s ridiculous postseason run by the Wizards, this was supposed to be the year the Washington Wizards grew up and took it to another level. After all, this was a franchise that drafted three top five picks in four years. That was not meant to be. Despite finishing 46-36 during the regular season, […]
An Ode to the Quarry House Tavern
Instead of writing about sports and statistics today, I have decided to take some time to reflect on a place that is near and dear to my heart. Before 1 am last Thursday, an electrical fire was set off at the back of the closed Bombay Gaylord Indian Restaurant in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, causing […]
The Washington Capitals have won the Winter Classic. Now What?
To be honest, this hockey season has been a weird one to watch as a Caps fan. At first, the boys in Red looked solid at 4-1-2, including having the best score-adjusted puck possession in the Eastern Conference at 56.3%. Then November came, and the Caps fell to 10-9-4 and that possession shriveled to a […]

Now that Boxing Day is upon us, the 2015 World Junior Hockey Championships will begin to commence today in Toronto and Montreal. You will hear multiple story lines throughout the tournament. Among them is how a once in a generation 18-year old in Connor McDavid can help put an end to Canada’s five year gold […]
