Powerplay Point Podcast

Recorded May 7- 12th, 2024 And so it ends....but just for a while anyway. This past season was a fun and hellacious one for Our Caps and they took us all on a ride we hadn't experienced in a while. I reserve the final commentary for two of our podcast's finest supporters, Paul Hackett anbd Stewart Small. Each has their own persepctive on what went well (and not so well) with an eye to the future for the team we all love. So farewell for the summer, loyal listeners...and LET'S GO CAPS! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded May 4, 2024 Well......we made into May. Even if Our Caps didn't :( The Mermaid and I get together for the last of the season to put the finale on what was a surprisingly better year than expected. After recapping Game 4, we go into some positives and negatives. What should be....and shouldn't have been. And an eye towards next season. Thanks to all of our loyal listeners for keeping us going. Tune in next week where some of you help us out by giving your takes on how the season went. Have a kick ass summer! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast #JenayaTalksCaps

Recorded April 27, 2024 Anna is off today, C4 Cheryl Anne Forster steps up for cohosting duties. John Blackburn from the CAPtasTROPHIES singing duo graces our show again; both are here to provide some much needed group therapy after Our Caps go down 0-3 against the Rangers. We go through our usual recaps of the three games, pointing out the obvious and a little of the not so obvious. Believe it or not, there is some good to be mined from what hsa happened. Always fun to discuss with knowedgeable Caps fans! And to wind things up, John B. is good enough to entertain us solo with a song! Please support John and Laura---go to their regular band ISFLY (I Super Fucking Love You) page for gig info at https://isflymusic.com/ LET'S GO CAPS!!!!!! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #CAPtasTROPHIES #ISFLY #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded April 20, 2024 Hello and welcome to the 2024 NHL PLAYOFFS! The Mermaid and I go over the final week of the Caps' regular season fortunes, which of course resulted in their earning the last seat on the plane that is the 2024 NHL playoffs. At about 25 minutes in we roll out several hashtags we would like for you, our listeners to spread as much you can to help us put the word out about the playoff run: #NoquitCaps #Capsbandofbrothers #Talladegababy #happyvibesCAPS Naturally there was some backlash from how things happened. And we answer it. And finally a very limited preview of the series against the New York Rangers---spoiler alert (to no one) the series is really going to get nasty! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded April 14, 2024 Anna and I get together on this episode to discuss the next to last week of the 2024 NHL season for Our Caps. Two wins, two losses. Lots of bad things, lots of good things, Some more F bombs, maybe as much as last week. Or not. Also mentioned is the Watchalong for the Podcast where various listeners met up for the game vs Tampa Bay at the . Thanks to those who came out. And thanks to the Irish Channel for hosting us! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded April 6, 2024 The Title says it all...... The Mermaid is back from Vacation all she ever wanted vacation had to get away...... Aaaaaand we talk about the last week where the Caps went 0-2-1. Zero wins which means zero good to discuss. Which translates into a lot of F bombs. Not, Safe. For. Work. #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded March 31, 2024 C4 and I continue our evaluation of the Caps' playoff run as we go over their most recent week. They go 1-1-1 with some thrilling moments along the way. All this while navigating the Quinnipiac vs. Boston College NCAA Ice Hockey tournament game featuring Caps' prospect Ryan Leonard. #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded March 24, 2024 FIlling in for the Mermaid while she is on Spring Break once again is Cheryl Anne Forster --C4 to everyone else. She and I go over the four games played since last Sunday including today's game against the Winnipeg Jets. It has occurred to us that the Caps' mere presence in the hunt for a playoff spot is confusing and perhaps annoying to some, SPOILER ALERT--- we don't give a crap! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded March 17, 2024 Happy St. Patrick's Day Caps fans! And with a swig of phony Irish (green) beer we go..... The Mermaid returns as we cover the first four games of the Caps latest Western road trip in which they split th results thus preserving their playoff chances for now. Included is TJ Oshie's 1000th NHL game played recent vs. Vancouver. #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #JenayaTalksCaps #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded March 10, 2024 We are joined again by Marcus Lemley of the Sucram's Capitals Off Their Chain podcast now that the 2024 NHL trade deadline has come and gone. Joining us as well is Cheryl Ann Forster/C4 as well as a surprise appearance by Mrs. Blueliner herself, my wife Jennie. We begin by reviewing the two games played in the week, both great wins over a couple of bad/very bad teams....happily one of which was the Penguins! THe other game I yelled myself hoarse so I apologize for sounding like a frog in perpetual mid-croak. The remainder of the episode is dedicated to evaluating and analyzing the three deals made by Our Caps within the deadline period. As always we invite YOU, the Washington Capitals fan to be a part of the discussion....join us on a future show if you want to be heard! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #SucramsOfftheChain #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded March 3, 2024 As Our Caps and the rest of the NHL bound toward the trade deadline, we are facing a makeover for them the likes of which may not be seen again. So naturally I gave Anna the weeks off for her birthday. Joining me is Marcus Lemley of the Sucram's Capitals Off Their Chain podcast. We first evaluate the four games played over the past week. We then go into a dialogue about...you guessed it, who will most likely no longer be a Capital by this time next week. On that subject, tune in to next week's episode where Marcus and I further evaluate the Capitals' activities (or perhaps the lack thereof?) post deadline. #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #SUCRAMSCAPSOFFTHEIRCHAIN #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded February 25, 2024 Some like it hot, Caps may be getting there.... Anna and I go over the last three games n which Our Caps go 2-0-1. Perhaps they're learning to play as a team? And what will they do about the rash of injuries? Who is being a standout? All the answers to these ane more in our latest episode....enjoy! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded February 18, 2024 With rapid fire action, Anna and I go over the 3 games played from Super Bowl Sunday to today. Our Caps went 1-1-1 displaying a marked improvement in their overall play and still proving they can keep up (mostly) with some of the top teams in the NHL. Unfortunately some of the on-ice officials are having a LOT of trouble keeping up. We got into an extended rant caused by their latest such display of incompetence as was shown the the recent game in Montreal. Enjoy! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded February 10, 2024 Blueliner opens the show alone for our first segment. In their first action since the All Star Break, Our Caps go 1-2. But before we go through the recaps I have a personal message about the other happenings this week. As we go through the games that were played on the Dads and Mentors trip, I am joined via call-in by none other than our own C4 and Mrs. Blueliner. Our focus game this week is the win against the Bruins, Enjoy! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast #SucramsCapitalsOfftheChain

Recorded January 27, 2024 In or recording before the All Star break, the Mermaid and I go over a road trip for Our Caps that was almost as disastrous as a Chevy Chase Vacation movie. Joining us this week is Caps fan Troy Evans who is a star athlete in the Virginia Special Olympics who shares his experiences as a Caps fan and as a Special Olympian. As there are no further games until well into next month, the Triple P will be taking its own break next week. Tune in February 11th for our next episode. Thanks for hanging with us! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #Powerplaypointpodcast

Recorded January 21, 2024 Anna and I go over the three games played last week during the lovely wintery weather we've had here. A featured component was the contributions of TJ Oshie so we also go over what he (still) means to the team...and why he may not be as disposable as previously thought, We close with a personal message for one of our family members, Cheryl Anne Forster (C4) who lost her beloved mother this week. We send our love and prayers with you. #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #PowerplayPointPodcast

Recorded January 14, 2024 The Mermaid is on assignment so Cheryl Anne Forster ---"C4" to you---our trusted advisor fills in. We have four games to go over since last episode...thanksfully the mood is improved since then. So has the Caps' play....somewhat. Not that we don't have stuff to grumble about, So naturally we do. Gripe along with us and enjoy! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #PowerplayPointPodcast

Recorded January 7, 2024 Anna is back to start the new year.... But the first week wasn't a fun one. As a result we're not in a very good mood. Apologies to those it might affect but this goaround we are going to tell it like it is.... We are not happy with the Caps play as of late. #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #PowerplayPointPodcast

Recorded December 31, 2023 PArt 2 of the episode continues with the conclusion of our recap of the Dec. 30th game against the Nashville Predators that ended in controversy. What kind of controversy? Why the NHL being nothing more than their jackass selves of course! Listen along and enjoy the rant! Enjoy 2024 everybody! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #PowerplayPointPodcast

Recorded December 31, 2023 It's another holiday twofer! OK well one episode, two parts..... Guest co-hosting this week is Mrs Blueliner, who gives her detailed opinions on what was a subpar week for Our Caps. Who says husbands and wives don't talk anymore? All it took was starting a podcast :/ Stay tuned for Part 2 where things heat up even more! #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #PowerplayPointPodcast
