Semyon Varlamov couldn't stop this Mike Fisher deflection as the Caps fell in overtime. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Fred Chartrand) Senators 4, Capitals 3 (OT): If you had cobbled together a team of professional hockey players from Eastern Canada and were looking for the opportune time to play the Washington Capitals, well, it's now. The Caps dropped their third straight game to a team from either...
Quick hits tonight because we need to get to bed here... We had a bad feeling about the game after the second period ended. The Caps dominated that period about as well as they have dominated a period this season but only had a 3-1 lead to show for it. The Caps missed too many chances to put the game away then. Giving up 18 shots in any period is never good, it is especially bad when you do it in the...
Reaction to tonight's humbling 2-1 shootout loss to the lowly Leafs was all over the place in the visitors' dressing room at Air Canada Centre. Coach Bruce Boudreau said his players looked worn out, a combination of playing on back to back nights and performing under the strain of so many injuries. It would be hard to argue with him. Then there was captain Chris Clark, who was annoyed about his team's...
His return has been long in the making,. After a career year three years ago Captain Chris Clark faded into obscurity. Two groin pulls, a wrist injury and a demotion to the third line later; the Captain has finally made his return from the abyss to become a critical part of the Washington team yet again.
Tarik's running to talk to GMGM, so here are a few updates via Twitter: * Jose Theodore is on the ice for practice after missing yesterday's game for family reasons. * Many players are taking their option not to skate today, including Alexander Semin, who missed last night's game with a wrist injury. * No update on Alexander Semin's status yet. Hope to have one soon. He just walked back into KCI, presumably...
The best hockey player in the world returned to the ice last night after missing 6 games with a shoulder injury and gave the Capitals their 1st of 4 goals on the night. Ovie’s 15th goal of the season tied the score at 1-1, after Marian Gaborik gave the Rangers the early 1-0 lead, scoring just [...]

Well, at least it was short work. The game lasted barely two hours. If you’re going to end a winning streak, best to leave no doubt. And after the first five minutes or so of tonight’s game between the Capitals and the New Jersey Devils, the home team left no doubt as to which team is the class of the Eastern Conference at the moment. The Devils spotted the Caps a 2-0 lead in the first...
Divas of Motown at the Apollo Hammersmith last night brought together some of the (mostly) lesser known female stars of the great Motown sound in what proved to be a great celebration of the label's 50 years. Excellently supported by Jack Ashford's Funk Brothers Band, the show kicked off with 79 year old Mable John who was billed as the First Lady of Motown but who is better known for her Stax material,...
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Columbus Blue Jackets were supposed to have learned something from their first playoff experience — a first-round sweep at the hands of the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings. They still have a long way to go.

"Even when we were down, I never thought that we were out of it," Coach Bruce Boudreau said. "It was too early. There were 50 minutes left in the game, we were down 3-1, but I thought we...

Welcome back, Captain Clark – with a little help from his trusty sidekicks Alex and Seymon, of course. Chris Clark was the eleventh Cap to take the ice in a shootout against the New York Islanders Wednesday night, and only the second Cap to score, but...
To misquote Diana Ross and The Supremes, some things you do get used to. One of them being that it was very unlikely that I would ever see a couple of my favorite Motown female singers, both in their early 60s, play a London venue. But one should never stop believing! Last night Owen and I went to the Jazz Cafe for the first of two 50th celebrations of Motown Records we have this week - and both feature...
