    Hyde has been fired. But I think Elias is the bigger culprit here. He didn’t go after pitching this offseason. They have young star hitters in rookie deals. The chances of all those guys sticking around is slim. They should have invested in pitching when they had the shot. This season is not...

    I guess it was fitting that in the Caps 50th season, they would do what they have done more times than not, which is lose in the first two rounds of the playoffs. 34 out of 50 seasons in the playoffs and 31 of those ended in the first or second round.

    The 2025 ‘Predict the Schedule’ Contest

    Thanks Chris for putting this together. Congrats Boone for winning. That may have been harder than the crystal ball contest.

    If anyone is seriously interested in tickets, the prices will go down once tickets are released. They will go down even more as the game gets closer. The only listings now are brokers who know they can buy tickets for $300 and sell them for 5 and 10 times that much. I still expect the tickets...

    I felt the team lost focus at the end of the regular season. But the way they played against Montreal showed that was not the case at the start of the playoffs. They could have folded after game 3 of that series, packed it in and said we got the goal record, let’s go home. But they took it to...

    I haven’t followed the Wizards since they were the Bullets, but I hear things every now and again and know they still suck. Is there a worse franchise in the NBA? I know people in NC say the Hornets are bad. But the teams I remember sucking as a kid seem to have had recent success. So their...

    I’m glad you said this. My family last night was saying that the Canes are like the Penguins in the playoffs. I told them no way because the Caps and Pens have playoff history going back to 1990. The Caps and Hurricanes have played 1 time in the playoffs before this year, and it was a game 7 OT...

    The thing about Ovechkin is that they can use him strategically to maximize what he can do and minimize his weaknesses. In this series, the style of play does not fit his current game. So he hasn't been very effective at all. The real problem though is that with Carlson, he's still getting top...

    Brutal last 30 minutes of the game tonight. Carlson was dreadful on defense on 2 of the first 3 goals. But what’s really frustrating is it looked like they had figured out how to counter what the hurricanes were doing, only to stop doing it and let the hurricanes retake control of the game.

    Much better game tonight. It started similar to the other night, but the Caps really picked up the tempo and played Capitals hockey. Just a few hiccups in the 3rd, but otherwise a great rebound game. Wilson was all over the ice tonight, so I’m glad he got the empty netter.

    Terrible game tonight. The Caps looked like they were sleepwalking with the puck most of the game. Thompson was fantastic all night, but Carolina’s game plan of throwing pucks to the net is what works in OT. That goal barely squeaks under the pad, but the Caps were just hoping for a lucky bounce...

    Six Flags America Closing in 2025

    It was Wild World for the 80s and early 90s. 1994 they opened as Adventure World a little after it was sold to a new company. I was working there in 93 and 94 and it was Wild World in 93 and Adventure World in 94. Then in 1999, it was rebranded as Six Flags about a year after they took over. The...

    Washington DC to host NFL draft in 2027

    I have wanted to go to a draft, but seeing the crowds the last couple of years, I don’t think I have the patience to do so. If it was indoors with assigned seats, that may be one thing. But too many bad experiences growing up with 4th of July fireworks index and I doubt crowds have gotten better...

    It would have started Sunday if the Blues and Jets didn’t have game 7 today. I don’t know about conflicts at Capital One arena, but while trying to find when the games would be scheduled, I stumbled across a hurricanes thread and in Raleigh, they have concerts Friday and Sunday. So the series...

    Orioles Magic!

    Yeah, the GM is really screwing up the opportunity they have. Let’s face it, some of these guys won’t re-sign when they hit free agency. If the owner really does want to spend as he said when he bought the team, this past offseason was the time to be aggressive. Instead he sat on his hands...

    Six Flags America Closing in 2025

    Yeah, Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens were always better as kids because of what they offered. It was just they were hours away instead of minutes. So a trip there was special. They had more roller coasters and thrill rides. Wild World was almost exclusively a water park in the early 80s before...

    Six Flags America Closing in 2025

    I wanted to start a thread on this. Six Flags America in Bowie will be closing after this season. I know for me and my family, this park was a big part of our childhood and teenage years. We lived just a mile away and we would go every day in the summer when it was Wild World and mostly a water...

    Great win tonight. The Caps dominated the 5 on 5 tonight. The Canadiens didn't really have that many scoring chances outside of the power play. The defense just made it so hard for them. Also, the Caps avoided the bad passes and turnovers they were committing a lot of on Friday. Now just win...
