  • Caps 2, Rangers 1 (OT): Five Observations

    By Brian McNally | 05/12/13 04:30 PM

    1. So here we are again. Last year the Capitals and the New York Rangers were tied 2-2 in a best-of-seven Stanley Cup playoff series and Washington was moments away from securing Game 5. Instead, a late Joel Ward penalty led to a game-tying goal by Brad Richards with just seconds remaining....

    Nationals Report Haren tries to turn it around It's been a roller-coaster ride already for Nationals starting pitcher Dan Haren. The team took a gamble when it let Edwin Jackson go in the offseason and turned a spot over to Haren, one of the game's steadiest pitchers for years but one...

  • A debut for Caps rookie Tom Wilson

    By Brian McNally | 05/10/13 01:20 PM

    It is not a dream anymore. Capitals rookie forward Tom Wilson, in the OHL playing junior hockey two weeks ago and in the AHL as recently as Wednesday, will make his NHL debut tonight in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Wilson, 19, a first-round draft pick just last June, will play tonight in Game 5...

  • Caps forward Alex Ovechkin named a Hart Trophy finalist

    By Brian McNally | 05/10/13 12:20 PM

    Capitals right wing Alex Ovechkin has been named one of three Hart Trophy finalists for NHL most valuable player in 2013. A two-time Hart Trophy winner in 2007-08 and 2008-09 and a finalist in 2009-10, Ovechkin led the league with 32 goals in the lockout-shortened season to earn the Maurice...

    Tom Wilson has seen two hockey seasons end in two weeks. He hopes things go better for his new team. The Capitals recalled their 19-year-old winger from AHL Hershey on Thursday one day after the Bears’ season came to an end in a decisive Game 5 loss to Providence on Wednesday night. Wilson...

    Caps, Rangers analyze tapes for weaknesses Capitals coach Adam Oates often employs a go-to analogy about the modern NHL. In the relatively short span of time between the end of his Hall-of-Fame playing career in 2004 and now, the league has become akin to the NFL, where video data is...

  • Rangers 4, Caps 3: Five Observations

    By Brian McNally | 05/09/13 06:25 AM

    1. You’re not really surprised, are you? This is the way it always is with the Capitals. Even up 2-0 in a series and looking like a solid bet to advance, things seem to just…happen. It’s not fair to pin history on this group of players so I won’t go that far. But the Rangers were going...

  • Capitals' mistakes prove costly as Rangers tie series with Game 4 win

    By Brian McNally | 05/08/13 10:45 PM

    NEW YORK -- The Capitals struggled to complete a pass, handle the puck, generate traffic in front of the net, stay out of the penalty box and push shots through on goal. All in all, the first 35 minutes of play against the New York Rangers on Wednesday night were an unmitigated disaster. And...
