My son taught me something new over the weekend &#8212; you&#8217;re never too young to be let down by your favorite hockey team.
Sure, he might only be seven-months-old, but even he knows when the Washington Capitals are in the midst of a letdown game.
Just 24 hours after an enjoyable 3-0 victory over [...]]]></description>

Anyone who has read my thoughts on the Washington Capitals this season should know by now that I’m convinced this team is critically flawed.
This roster, as presently constructed, doesn’t appear capable of coexisting with the system Dale Hunter wants to utilize. So what Caps fans are “treated” to most nights is uneven [...]]]></description>

The Washington Capitals lost to the Florida Panthers 4-2. Once again they were out-hustled. Once again they were out-played. Once again they failed to put together a full 60-minute effort.
We&#8217;re now 50 games into the season and this game felt awfully familiar. It&#8217;s as if we&#8217;ve seen this movie before. If only I could [...]]]></description>

While it was nice to see the Capitals get a point in a road game, Washington&#8217;s 4-3 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning wasn&#8217;t all that enjoyable.
Sure, Washington was just 8-13-2 on the road to begin and was without the services of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green as [...]]]></description>

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin was suspended three games for a hit on Pittsburgh defenseman Zbynek Michalek in Sunday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Although no penalty was called at the time, Brendan Shanahan, the NHL’s head disciplinarian, saw fit to sit The Great 8.
&#8220;The [...]]]></description>

Growing up, the Washington Capitals were the epitome of a blue-collar team.
They never had the biggest names in hockey, but they earned respect thanks to their desire to outwork and outhustle opponents into submission.
While our nation’s capital will never be confused for a blue-collar town, that lunch pail mentality served the franchise [...]]]></description>

I’m going to be completely honest with you – the Washington Capitals, at times this season, have been painful to watch.
Take, for example, the team’s pitiful effort at home in a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders Tuesday night.
After 60 minutes of uninspired hockey by the home team it was tough [...]]]></description>
