0 comments by on 1/22/2016

The Ducks/Capitals game was postponed on Friday night because of Winter Storm Jonas. So instead of covering hockey, local stations instead covered the storm and the people preparing for it. One local D.C. station managed to cover both at the same time completely by accident. WUSA’s roving cameras caught Alex Ovechkin … now with more free […]

Pierre McGuire doesn’t know who he is interviewing

0 comments by

There aren’t a lot of definites in hockey broadcasting, but the one you can almost always count on is the fact that Pierre McGuire will list your junior team whether you like it or not. He may be grating to some, but for this writer I find his earnest nature quite admirable. Thursday, January 21st […]

Just how bad have the Canadiens been lately?

0 comments by

The Montreal Canadiens have been playing bad hockey for almost two months now. Their nine-game winning streak to start the 2015-16 season seems like a distant memory.
