Bobby Johnson How many people here thought the Redskins actually stood a chance versus Atlanta?
Raise your hands.
Okay, now if you are one of the ones sitting at your computer with your hand raised I want you to turn it towards yourself and slap yourself in the face. Nobody can see you with your hand raised at a computer (unless you are video chatting, which you are not) and those that can are probably wondering why you are sitting at your computer with your hand raised; you should at least look productive.
The Washington Capitals entered this week without the services of their superstar playmaker Alex Ovechkin; though if you looked at the scores of their three games last week, you wouldn’t know it. Washington scored 13 goals in three games.
We are all holding our collective breath while we await word on the condition of Alex Ovechkin. As of this writing, I have no further details on Ovechkin other than that he suffered an “upper body injury” and that the team will know more about him on Tuesday.
Let me tell you where I’m at on things.
For over a year, I’ve been of the opinion that Jason Campbell is an adequate quarterback. This doesn’t mean that I believe he’s a pro-bowler, or that he is a shoe-in for the hall-of-fame; but adequate.
Well, the good news is that the Washington Redskins didn’t lose last week (they don’t play until tonight) and neither did the Washington Capitals!
It’s another Monday, so it must be time for another Caps Recap!
Oh, I know I’m gonna ruffle some feathers with this one.
Here’s my question; Was Jack Kent Cooke really the genius we believe him to be, or did he just have the right cogs fall into place?
Another Monday; another Caps Recap! Let’s do this!
The week before last, the Washington Capitals went 0-2-1. It looked like they trend would continue when they kicked their week off last week with an overtime loss to New Jersey. Instead they bounced back against a team they hadn’t beaten since 1999, the San Jose Sharks. The Caps rounded out their week Saturday night by edging Nashville in the shootout and finished 2-1-0 for the week.
Yet another person has become a victim of all that is wrong in the health care industry. Jason Campbell, Quarterback of the Washington Redskins found an unwelcome surprise waiting for him in his mailbox today.
The office was large and plush. The 15-foot ceilings and large windows made even the largest of defensive linemen feel small. To one side was an equally large fire-place and in the middle or the room, with the windows behind it, was the desk of one Daniel M. Snyder.
Rain pattered against the glass of the enormous windows, and gave the night an even more ominous feel. The only light in the office was coming from the crackling fire in the aforementioned fireplace.
Wow, what a difference a week makes, huh?
The Caps, who came out swinging in their first two games, went down flailing in their last three going from 2-0-0 to 2-2-1.
