The Capitals enter tonight’s contest seeking their seventh straight win following a victory over the Atlanta Thrashers last night. The team, especially Alexander Ovechkin, is on a tear and has brought about this winning streak with their continued offensive power and improved defense.

by

One of the prevailing pieces of information to come out of Sunday’s 16-13 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was that, despite being booed on their way to the locker room at the beginning of halftime by the hometown crowd, the Redskins did not take an emotional “Rah! Rah!” approach, but rather a calm, focused … Read more
