hockey yelling: September 2011
http://hockeyyelling.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 18, 2011. Stereotypes and Alex Ovechkin. And then, at the end of the Cold War era, came Alex Ovechkin. The odds don't look good. Then again, Alex Ovechkin has never been one to stay beneath the trend line. He's a 50-goal player in an era when 50 goals is supposed to be nearly impossible- he's a power forward in an era when snipers lead the standings, and he's a set-'em-on-fire player in an era when Russians are not. Stereotype: Russian hockey players are lazy or apathetic. Boundaries as...

hockey yelling: Caps/Habs, 2/4/2012

Saturday, February 4, 2012. Apologies for the radio silence, Capsland. I came down with the death flu and also as you may have seen, RMNB was silly and suicidal enough to invite me on board. Rest assured I will still be writing here, because they are professional hockey media types and such and I shouldn't say "fuck" on their blog and ruin their reputation. We got a late power play, but if you have been watching the Capitals lately, you know that this is not necessarily a good thing. The Caps spent m...

Wednesday, January 25, 2012. I have a confession to make. I thought we were going to lose this game. Except it didn't. Everything stayed up, and the Caps came away looking awesome instead. I love hockey so fucking much. They hung in there. In fact, they nearly made it to the first intermission tied at zero, but then just to make sure they didn't get too complacent, minor disaster struck. Karl Alzner swears he was trying to clear that one. His stick had other ideas. The second period is different, because...

hockey yelling: Caps/Pens pregame
http://hockeyyelling.blogspot.com/2012/01/capspens-pregame.html
Saturday, January 21, 2012. Judging from recent history, tomorrow's game should be a 3-0 Caps shutout. The ups and downs of being a Caps fan this season are getting a bit exhausting, huh? The good news is, it's not all downs- maybe you're a little frustrated right now, but that means you still care- and if you can't care about a Pens/Caps game, you probably don't have a pulse anymore. EARLY STARTS ARE THE WORST THING IN YOUR LIFE. Who the fuck plays hockey at 12:30 in the afternoon? DON'T LOOK NOW BUT.

hockey yelling: February 2012
http://hockeyyelling.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. Things that Caps fans were eating and drinking or order to dull the pain. That sucked. Here's how you were dealing with it:. I love the Caps, and yeah, it's the unconditional kind. Arguably right now it may even be the unrequited kind. That doesn't matter. Being a hockey fan is less conditional upon merit than it is a one time choice. The Caps are the Caps and so I love them. Sunday, February 5, 2012. Come off the ledge. It's going to be okay. Deep breaths. Have some pride&...

hockey yelling: October 2011
http://hockeyyelling.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 30, 2011. Nobody panic. Seriously, everyone cut it out, there is no cause for panic. Two games is not even a losing streak it's like a.line segment. This is not disaster, this is a scratch on the finish of your '65 Shelby Cobra. We still have the best team in the league- time to pick ourselves up and see what we're made of. Years since the Caps have won at Vancouver. Ten years. Now that's just weird. Where he expected it to be. Namely, on Maxim Lapierre's stick. That was basically my face.

hockey yelling: November 2011

Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Listen, I know things have been tough lately- but if there's one thing that the Caps front office is good at, it's timing, they. When to change things up. They are basically the boyfriend who buys you a nice necklace or something every time you have a really big fight. So welcome, Dale Hunter, our brand new sparkly jewel. Break for a Celine Dion song. But when you touch me like this. No but seriously- don't you feel better today? And its new systems take time to implement.

Sunday, January 22, 2012. Anyone who is crying about that hockey game, don't bother reading the rest of the recap, because I loved it. There was a lot against the Caps going into this game, and judging from their play in the first period, some of the issues should have been insurmountable. Natural center on the ice. This was a character game- namely, if you've been doubting that the Caps have it, they came out to prove you wrong. I don't know what happened in the intermission between the first and second...
