Why are the Caps Slumping?
Wow, what the hell happened? I turn my back on the Capitals for two weeks, and they fall right apart!

Redskins: Racism or Easy Target: Part II

My day ended yesterday with my wife looking at me and saying “you get to wear a ‘victory jersey’ tomorrow!”
I’m still in disbelief.

With Hockey teams, it’s all about chemistry. With some players, you can’t detect their impact by the score-sheet alone; only by their absence. The Caps have gone two weeks without their star left-winger Alex Ovechkin, and won four tough games without him.
