Welp, Barry Trotz has decided to leave Washington as a champion. Good on him! He leaves this town while at the highest point of his value. At 55 years old, there shouldn’t be any suitors that don’t want him coaching their team with the New York Islanders being the most rumored destination. What made Trotz […]

Now that the dust has settled and all the trash is being cleaned up along the Portrait Gallery and all of Chinatown, Washington D.C. can finally exhale after 26 years of holding their breath and call themselves Champions in the major sporting landscape. Many will say that this should have happened earlier. Many will say […]

Something is up here. Washington DC shouldn’t be this joyful. They shouldn’t be making all of Chinatown, and Farragut Square, and the entire Wharf, and the entire DMV this much red. They were supposed to be washed up as soon as they lost Game 7 to the Penguins last year. They were especially supposed to […]

In a night that couldn’t have been more perfect in Washington DC, the Capitals were able to take a 2-1 series lead over Vegas on Saturday thanks to a 60-minute performance in which they didn’t look like wavering.

The best wins in sports are always the first ever. You don’t know what you’re supposed to feel like when your favorite team gets the job done and you don’t know what’s to come when you have more in store. That is where the Washington Capitals are with their fans after last night’s 3-2 win […]

Plain and simple, this wasn’t supposed to happen. The Washington Capitals have never scored more than two goals in a Game 7 since 1988. In fact, they always are at the raw end of the deal when it comes to officiating. Washington basically had to play a perfect game against arguably the most complete team […]

At a point of desperation, Washington usually finds a way to crumble. This is not the hockey team I’m talking about. Nor the baseball team. Nor the basketball team. Nor the football team. This is all walks of human existence that crumbles. Starting from Fulton, Maryland going and going down to Richmond with all points […]

So the greatest story in the NHL continues their ride towards the unthinkable after closing the Western Conference Finals last night. Vegas defeated a budding, and more favored Winnipeg team, in their own building and imposed their will more often than not in their five games against them to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. […]

You just knew it was a bad omen when thunderstorms were rolling into the Nations Capital before the hockey team returned home to play their first set of Conference Finals games in 20 years. And when Tampa came to play, there was no denying that they were going to prove that the first two games […]
