Recorded April 20, 2025   Happy Easter!   The Mermaid and I bring the curtain down on 2025 regular season for Our Capitals by recapping the final 3 games. One good game, the others......not so much.   Curtain up on the chase for the Stanley Cup. A scaled down preview of the playoffs follows. The Caps opponents the Canadiens pose a serious challenge. But can they be beaten? We say yes and go over a few keys to this series.

Recorded April 12, 2025   Get comfortable my fellow Caps fans....this is a long one.   We begin, Jini and I with a review of Alex OVechkin's record-breaking goal against the Islanders that happened last Sunday. No, we will not break down the actual game. Yes, we will tell you what we believe it means to us. The next segment is dedicated to the only game breakdown we do go through--agains the Carolina Hurricanes. And then comes the disaster that was the game against the CBJ. Again no breakdown here especially since no Caps scored, but a lot of discussion over what went wrong and why. And somewhere in the middle, something new we learn about Jini! Finally, we go over some long standing concerns that are still lingering with Our Caps. And there are quite a few of them. But the good news is that there are even more reasons to be optimistic. Hope you stick around and go through the discussion with us.   The Chase may be over, but the fight against cancer is not.

Recorded April 5, 2025   The Mermaid and I are joined by Jini Clausen who quickly finds some common roots with Anna. Ever hear a podcast done with a guy and two Bay Area ladies? You're about to..... We go on to recap all four games, two of which were, admittedly, hot garbage for Our Caps. And then came a most epic night of greatness. I don't think I have to tell you what happened. As poorly as the games ran for this week it all ended with a truly grand once-in-a-lifetime moment we Caps fans will remember forever.   It really is all about taking the good with the bad sometimes.....   Please consider a donation to the V Foundation for Cancer research and stand with Our Captain against this disease:   v.org/GR8chase.   #ALLCAPS #LockedOnCapitals #SportsOTHP #ThatsDCHockey #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChainpodcast #JenayaTalksCaps #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast

Recorded April 5, 2025   This standalone episode is a conversation between myself and two very good friends of mine: Brian Szabo abnd Pete Fischer.   Brian and Pete were in the building and saw the moments when Alex Ovechkin came within one goal, then tied the Great Gretzky's goal record. Hear them describe in their own words, the atmosphere, the electricity and the sheer energy that was a most epic event. April 4 is a night that will live forever among Caps fans---this is the story of two fans who got to enjoy it all live.   Please follow the lead of our great Captain and donate to the V Foundation for cancer research:   v.org/GR8chase.   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP#SucramsCapitalsofftheirChainpodcast #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #JenayaTalksCaps #ThatsDCHockey #LockedOnCaps          

Recorded March 29, 2025   With a quick schedule this week we go over two game--both losses--with out sharp observations in both. Suffice to say with both games there was plenty to be unhappy about. Even with our Caps doing relatively well this season. Our final segment is this month's Young Blueliner's memories. This one takes to the Spring of 1986 where a younger Blueliner gets rudely introduced to the exquisite torture that is Washington Capitals playoff hockey.   Be sure to join Our Captain in donating to the V foundation for the remainder of his career:  https://v.org/GR8chase     #ALLCAPS #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChainPodcast #LockedOnCapitals #ThatsDCHockey #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #SportsOTHP

Recorded March 23, 2025   Three games. Three wins. And at the end of it all, an earned playoff berth. Earned by a team playing for one another. A team (and their fans) who endured a ton of disrespect. Disrespect that has been heaped on by know-nothing fans and so-called journalists with an agenda. We've been collecting receipts....   It's payback time.   After the recaps I take it upon myself to call out the most guilty. Vindication feels damn good. Hope you enjoy, fellow fans. Thanks for indulging me. (Towards the end my bleeping machine ran out of steam.....you have been warned)   Don't forget to donate to the fight against cancer alongside our Captain: https://v.org/GR8chase     #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #ThatsDCHockey #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOfftheirChain #LockedOnCapitals

Recorded March 16, 2025   The Mermaid is back and she tells us all about her birthday trip to the Turks and Caicos islands to begin the episode. We go on to talk about the three games played in California....the two wins and the one frustrating loss. And a bit of a telling statistic. But not unlike a certain disease, if caught early enough, it can be dealt with. Speaking of diseases, if you have the means, please consider donating alongside the Capitals' Captain.

Recorded March 9. 2025   Jini CLausen joins us again to go over four Caps wins in another glorious week of hockey for the League's most hated team. Speaking of which. we begin this week's episode with an answer for our haters. After the recaps--including a game attended by your podcasters--- we go over the activity during the Trade deadline that brought the Caps Anthonhy Beauvillier and what it means for the team going forward.   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #JenayaTalksCaps #LockedOnCapitals #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #SucramsCapitalsOfftheirchain #That'sDCHockey

Recorded March 2, 2025 Anna's back for the week after recovering to commisserate regarding an unusually bad week for Our Caps. After our customary recap of all three games, we go over some potentially unpleasant business concering what may happen with the Gr8 chase. To close, we go over even more potentially depressing (depending on your point of view) business that may or may not go down between now and this week's NHL Trade Deadline.   Our best wishes are with the Green family as they bury their infant son Liam.   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Sucram'sCapitalsOffTheirChainPodcast #JenayaTalksCaps #LockedOnCapitals #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #That'sDCHockey

Recorded February 23, 2025   First time guest Jini Clausen joins us this week in the Mermaid's absence to go over a GREAT weekend of Caps hockey action! After giving Jini the talk show treatment and finding out her Caps origin story, we get right into the two games where Our Caps kicked ass!   With the Trade deadline and other events looming this season, we go over some ongoing concerns (yes even a First Place team can have some concerns!) I think you will like the way Jini does not hold back in how things may work out!

Recorded February 9, 2025   On our last episode before this season's break, Anna and I rapidly go over (due to unforseeen time constraints) the previous three games. Two of them follow the same sloppy yet successful pattern if falling behind and yet winning or at least earning a point for the standings. Thinking about tuning in next week? Well you should think again because we won't be here.... But we will be back the week of Feb. 23rd. Please join us...until then try to occupy yourselves! I will need a cohost for that recording and if interested please contact me at glhalllowed@yahoo.com    THANKS!   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #LockedOnCapitals #That'sDCHockey
