Capitals Ticket Increase
2008-08-26 21:27:00 Since I moved to the Washington DC area several years ago, I have attended the Washington Capitals-Pittsburgh Penguins games whenever possible. There are thousands of other Pittsburgh transplants living in the area, so I have even arranged to buy group tickets through the Capitals for these games. For Capitals fans out there who aren?t happy about this arrangement of having Penguins fans buy tickets (that of course help pay the salaries of Mike Green, Alex Ovechkin and Cristobel Huet, I mean, Jose Theodore), you?ll be glad to know that there are generally a couple of token Caps fans as part of our group.Anyway, a few weeks ago, I contacted my Caps? ticket representative about purchasing tickets for the Penguins-Capitals games for the 2008-2009 season. Unlike the past few years, where we would receive discounted tickets for purchasing in bulk, this is not the case anymore. Apparently, the Penguins games as well as several other games during the season (I believe the Philadelphia ...

Washington Capitals eliminated from playoffs with OT loss
2008-04-23 11:43:00 The Washington Capitals comeback playoff effort ended just short Tuesday night as an overtime goal by Joffrey Lupul eliminated the Capitals from the NHL playoffs on a 3-2 score. The Lupul goal came off a power play after Tom Poti was whistled out for tripping. Washington largely dominated the course of play in game seven but was undone by two controversial goals. The second Flyers goal came after the goalie Cristobal Huet was dislodged on alleged interference that was never called. The final one was of course based on that power play. Some fans expected officials to put away their whistles during the extra period though the tripping call was technically accurate.Washington lost its Eastern Conference playoff series against Philadelphia four games to three. The Capitals would have faced the Pittsburgh Penguins with a victory. Due to the upset loss though, the Flyers instead advanced to face the New York Rangers under the reseeded playoff format.The Capitals do have the consolation th...

Capitals upset Flyers in game six, pivotal game 7 tonight
2008-04-22 22:21:00 The Washington Capitals faced the hardest step of their comeback effort head on and emerged triumphant, scoring four straight goals in a 4-2 game six victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. Alex Ovechkin broke his scoring drought in the third period with two goals to clinch the road upset at Wachovia Center.What's left for the Washington Capitals is a return to their home at Cup crazy Verizon Center tonight for the game seven finale of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series. Should the Capitals win their third straight must win game to finally advance, they would then be matched against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the conference semifinals.Tonight's game seven marks the first one ever to be hosted by the Capitals at Verizon Center, a measure of just how dry the hockey landscape has been here in recent years. The focus of the D.C. are though will be squarely at Verizon tonight. Start time is 7 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet regionally, Versus nationally and WJFK/106.7 & WFED/1050 radio...

Capitals win needed game five; game six set @ Flyers
2008-04-21 11:37:00 The Washington Capitals won the first of three potential do or die games Saturday afternoon, dominating the Philadelphia Flyers by a 3-2 mark in game five. Alexander Semin, Nicklas Backstrom and Sergei Fedorov all scored for the Capitals while goalie Cristobal Huet helped the team withstand a late third period Flyers surge.While the Capitals victory was impressive, the team remains behind three games to two in the series headed into the all too crucial game six. Monday evening's game six in Philadelphia is another must win outing for the Capitals, despite the fact that home teams have won four of five games in the series to date. Washington will have to break that pattern and force a road victory to reach a game seven finale.Game six of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series will air on Comcast SportsNet regionally and WJFK/106.7 & WFED/1050 radio Monday evening at 7 p.m. EDT.

2008-04-18 18:34:00 The Washington Capitals came out with more focus and energy for game four of their playoff series against the Philadelphia Flyers but an elongated double overtime contest yielded the same losing result. Philadelphia came out with a 4-3 result to take command of the best of seven series at three games to one.Washington seemed poised to win game four and even the series before giving up a late regulation goal set up by a Caps' penalty for having too many men on the ice. The Capitals still mounted a threat but couldn't break through in the first sudden death overtime, finally tiring out in OT number two.What's left for the Washington Capitals is a return home to Verizon Center this Saturday afternoon for a do or die game. Another loss would eliminate the Capitals from the postseason. Hope still remains though if only because this squad has already proven its ability to perform in elimination contests.Start time is 1 p.m. on NBC national television (WRC/4 locally) and radio stations ...

Capitals listless in game three defeat to Flyers
2008-04-16 17:19:00 The Washington Capitals put together another seemingly listless performance in a game three playoff defeat to the overpowering Philadelphia Flyers, 6-3. The Caps are now down two games to one in the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series, needing to win next time out to have a realistic chance at advancing to the conference semis.Washington scored a quick early goal to erase a 1-0 first period deficit, signaling what could have been a different kind of game. However, the Flyers ran off two straight goals within 17 seconds near the end of the first period to regain a lead that would never be relinquished.Aside from the final minutes of game one, star Alex Ovechkin's line has been a virtual non-factor in the series. That must change for this Thursday's game four (available on Comcast SportsNet, Versus & WJFK/106.7) or else dreams of D.C. truly becoming Hockeytown USA will have to be set aside once again. ----Relevant links: Washington Post, Washington Times

Capitals shut out in game two playoff loss to Flyers
2008-04-14 00:23:00 The Washington Capitals were shut down and shut out, outworked in a 2-0 playoff loss to Philadelphia. The Flyers took control of game two of the opening series early with first period goals from R.J. Umberger and Jeff Carter off goalie Cristobal Huet. The second goal sequence was triggered when Mike Green lost the puck on a turnover.The Caps' goalie stopped Philadelphia the rest of the way but with the Capitals shuttered the whole way through by counterpart goalie Martin Biron, the early damage proved fatal. Alexander Ovechkin's late first game fury was followed by a second game lethargy, a pattern repeated for too many Capitals players on the day. ----On a side note, the so-called NBC curse came through in full effect. The Capitals have not won a game nationally televised on NBC this season, continuing a pattern of difficulty on the big television stage.The game two defeat ties the best of seven series at one game apiece, headed into the Wachovia Center this Tuesday night.

Capitals take playoff opener on Ovechkin game-winner
2008-04-12 22:29:00 The Washington Capitals' storybook entry into the playoffs segued into a storybook postseason opener as presumptive MVP Alex Ovechkin scored the game winning goal to edge out the Philadelphia Flyers, 5-4. Ovechkin's coup de grace of game one capped off a three goal third period rally by the Capitals to overcome a 4-2 deficit after two periods.Washington now holds a one game to none lead headed into game two of the best of seven Eastern Conference quarterfinal series Sunday afternoon, again at Verizon Center. Indicating the national interest in Ovechkin (and lack of interest in watching Pittsburgh face a Canadian team), NBC network will televise Sunday's contest. WJFK/106.7 & WFED/1050 will again carry the Capitals' radio feed.----Relevant links: Washington Post, Washington Times

The Capitals-Flyers series is the last one of the NHL conference quarterfinal matchups to launch up play, adding to the already red hot sense of anticipation.Red may be the operative word for the Washington Capitals as Verizon Center figures to be a sea of red this night, replicating the scene for the Caps' final three regular season games.----Tonight's occasion marks the first NHL playoff action ever for presumptive MVP Alex Ovechkin and many of his teammates. It's the first NHL postseason as a head coach for Bruce Boudreau as well though he did lead the Hershey Bears to a minor league title. The team's NHL playoff experience comes instead by way of import from veteran Sergei Federov.Cristobal Huet, whose goalkeeping helped propel the Capitals' late season surge into the playoffs, will hope to do th...

WJFK 106.7 to carry Washington Capitals playoff games
2008-04-07 00:36:00 WJFK 106.7 FM radio has been signed to carry broadcasts of Washington Capitals playoff games. The signing of the additional radio outlet is due to expected conflicts on Capitals flagship station 3WT (WWWT/1500/107.7, WWWB/820) with Washington Nationals games broadcasts. WJFK has already started airing spots promoting the Capitals coverage.Aside from CBS-owned WJFK, Bonneville radio's usual alternate outlet WFED/1050 will also air any games bumped off 3WT. WFED's low nighttime power of 44 watts is insufficient to provide sufficient postseason coverage for area hockey fans, necessitating another carrier. Thankfully, the Capitals, CBS Radio and Bonneville realized the situation and were willing to make this unprecedented arrangement.Full scheduling and TV/radio broadcast information for the opening series will be posted here when it becomes available.

Capitals' playoff run puts NHL on notice for future
2008-04-02 05:49:00 The last time the Washington Capitals had a game with these kind of implications, U.S. President Bill Clinton was about to get impeached for a blue dress that never made it to the dry cleaners fast enough. Here we are, a decade later, and Clinton's wife is setting out to become the most powerful man woman on the planet while looking to show hubby who, uh, really wears the pants in the family. What's that overused saying? The more things change, the more they remain the same?And, yes, the Crap — er, Capitals — are no longer an NHL punchline.Playing their most important game since they went on an improbable run to the Stanley Cup final in 1998, the Capitals answered the bell Tuesday, trumping the Carolina Hurricanes just beyond the shadow of the Washington Monument to keep their playoff hopes alive with five days left in the regular season.
