    Brian McNally

    Published: Wed, May 15, 2013

    The other prominent unrestricted free agent for the Capitals this summer is Matt Hendricks. The veteran winger has set himself up for the one big contract in his NHL career. Hendricks, 31, was plucked from the Colorado Avalanche organization before the 2010 season and quickly generated a...

    Published: Tue, May 14, 2013

    The scene is all too familiar now. The long and tortured Stanley Cup playoff history of the Capitals means little to the current generation of players. None of them were born or raised here, after all. But the stinging defeats of recent years are taking an obvious toll. In the Alex Ovechkin...

    Published: Mon, May 13, 2013

    The Capitals were upset with a lot of calls on Sunday in a 1-0 loss to the New York Rangers. Maybe a better way to say it – they were upset about non-calls. New York, the most disciplined team in the NHL this season, wasn’t whistled for a single penalty. Washington took five – two of them...

    1. And so for the seventh time in their last nine Stanley Cup playoff series the Caps will play a Game 7. The Rangers assured that with a 1-0 victory at Madison Square Garden on Sunday evening. Washington’s checkered history in those games will leave its fans gasping for air for the next 24...

    Published: Sun, May 12, 2013

    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....

    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...

    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...

  • Rangers 4, Caps 3: Five Observations

    Brian McNally

    Published: Thu, May 9, 2013

    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...
