Anna and I evaluate the first 3 games of the Caps series in Round 2 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Yes we're pissed. Yes we're bummed. No we will make no effort to hide it it during this episode.

Recorded May 4, 2025 May the Fourth Be With You!!!! In this Star Wars-themed episode, Anna and I go over the final 2 games of the Caps' first round series against the Montreal Canadiens. We also give a brief, non-specific preview of their next round series against the Carolina Hurricanes. Sorry we're not being more specific, but, muchlike Coach Carbery we're keeping things close to the vest....much like Han Solo who may or may not have fired first..... Follow the lead of Captain Alex Ovechkin an...

Recorded April 26, 2025 Happy Playoffs! Anna and I recap Games 1-3 of the Caps first round. Yes every gory detail...the good and the bad. And while there was quite a bit of good there was also some bad. Bad that may prove to be quite the obstacle. BUT...we remain optomistic while reminding a certain team that, in professional ice hockey, there are 60 minutes in a full game!

Recorded April 20, 2025 Happy Easter! The Mermaid and I bring the curtain down on 2025 regular season for Our Capitals by recapping the final 3 games. One good game, the others......not so much. Curtain up on the chase for the Stanley Cup. A scaled down preview of the playoffs follows. The Caps opponents the Canadiens pose a serious challenge. But can they be beaten? We say yes and go over a few keys to this series. Caps fans--we urge you to give it your ALL. put it all behind this team and spur...

Recorded April 12, 2025 Get comfortable my fellow Caps fans....this is a long one. We begin, Jini and I with a review of Alex OVechkin's record-breaking goal against the Islanders that happened last Sunday. No, we will not break down the actual game. Yes, we will tell you what we believe it means to us. The next segment is dedicated to the only game breakdown we do go through--agains the Carolina Hurricanes. And then comes the disaster that was the game against the CBJ. Again no breakdown here e...

Recorded April 5, 2025 The Mermaid and I are joined by Jini Clausen who quickly finds some common roots with Anna. Ever hear a podcast done with a guy and two Bay Area ladies? You're about to..... We go on to recap all four games, two of which were, admittedly, hot garbage for Our Caps. And then came a most epic night of greatness. I don't think I have to tell you what happened. As poorly as the games ran for this week it all ended with a truly grand once-in-a-lifetime moment we Caps fans will r...

Recorded April 5, 2025 This standalone episode is a conversation between myself and two very good friends of mine: Brian Szabo abnd Pete Fischer. Brian and Pete were in the building and saw the moments when Alex Ovechkin came within one goal, then tied the Great Gretzky's goal record. Hear them describe in their own words, the atmosphere, the electricity and the sheer energy that was a most epic event. April 4 is a night that will live forever among Caps fans---this is the story of two fans who ...

Recorded March 29, 2025 With a quick schedule this week we go over two game--both losses--with out sharp observations in both. Suffice to say with both games there was plenty to be unhappy about. Even with our Caps doing relatively well this season. Our final segment is this month's Young Blueliner's memories. This one takes to the Spring of 1986 where a younger Blueliner gets rudely introduced to the exquisite torture that is Washington Capitals playoff hockey. Be sure to join Our Captain in do...

Recorded March 23, 2025 Three games. Three wins. And at the end of it all, an earned playoff berth. Earned by a team playing for one another. A team (and their fans) who endured a ton of disrespect. Disrespect that has been heaped on by know-nothing fans and so-called journalists with an agenda. We've been collecting receipts.... It's payback time. After the recaps I take it upon myself to call out the most guilty. Vindication feels damn good. Hope you enjoy, fellow fans. Thanks for indulging me...

Recorded March 16, 2025 The Mermaid is back and she tells us all about her birthday trip to the Turks and Caicos islands to begin the episode. We go on to talk about the three games played in California....the two wins and the one frustrating loss. And a bit of a telling statistic. But not unlike a certain disease, if caught early enough, it can be dealt with. Speaking of diseases, if you have the means, please consider donating alongside the Capitals' Captain.

Recorded March 2, 2025 Anna's back for the week after recovering to commisserate regarding an unusually bad week for Our Caps. After our customary recap of all three games, we go over some potentially unpleasant business concering what may happen with the Gr8 chase. To close, we go over even more potentially depressing (depending on your point of view) business that may or may not go down between now and this week's NHL Trade Deadline. Our best wishes are with the Green family as they bury their...

Recorded February 23, 2025 First time guest Jini Clausen joins us this week in the Mermaid's absence to go over a GREAT weekend of Caps hockey action! After giving Jini the talk show treatment and finding out her Caps origin story, we get right into the two games where Our Caps kicked ass! With the Trade deadline and other events looming this season, we go over some ongoing concerns (yes even a First Place team can have some concerns!) I think you will like the way Jini does not hold back in how...

Recorded February 9, 2025 On our last episode before this season's break, Anna and I rapidly go over (due to unforseeen time constraints) the previous three games. Two of them follow the same sloppy yet successful pattern if falling behind and yet winning or at least earning a point for the standings. Thinking about tuning in next week? Well you should think again because we won't be here.... But we will be back the week of Feb. 23rd. Please join us...until then try to occupy yourselves! I will ...

We go over the details of the past week with Our Capitals going 2-1 at the beginning of their Western road trip. Listen as Dan and I go back and forth over several important points relative to both the Caps' recent play as well as some goings-on in the NHL itself. A MUST listen for serioius Caps fans! As this week's episode is dedicated to the memory ...

Recorded January 19, 2025 Anna and I discuss the three games/three wins for the Caps this past week. As it was pretty low-event hockey played by them to perfection, this episode will fly by. But of course not without a timely discussion of how to cope during a not-so-dry January. Spoiler alert---there will be complaints about snow. Also the Mermaid has a homework assignment--regarding hew newfound favorite drink. We have a few words of course on the tragedy of Helen and Ken Fawber's deaths nearl...

Recorded Jan. 12, 2025 Four games to cover......four games that were, at times, difficult to endure given what we Caps fans have gotten used to. But as they say they road is long and the season is a marathon and not a sprint, Anna and I break down the four games as only we can. We also offer our critique of the team's recent play and what might get them back to.....a more consistent line of results. However before we begin, we give our attention to the recent tragedy in the Los Angeles area. We ...
