Opinion: Lauren Hart: Beyond the Bleachers Interview

13 Oct 2008 11:00:42 PDT

San Jose Trip Review

12 Oct 2008 14:35:03 PDT

Written by Averyoverott
My brother and I flew to San Jose yesterday and attended the game, so I figured I'd type up what I saw. We flew out of Burbank to SJ rountrip for 120 bucks, a great deal on Southwest. We stayed at the Doubletree for $85, also a deal. Chipotle's in San Jose aren't as good as ours.

Season Preview: Washington Capitals, Class of '08-'09

30 Sep 2008 11:42:15 PDT

Written by Greg Wyshynski
It's tantalizing to think about what this group might accomplish this season. We've already seen two Southeast Division teams win the Stanley Cup in the last several years. The Capitals have the balance, the weaponry, the leadership and the management to do the same thing.

If the Thrashers could reduce that number by 30 down to 236 that would be a huge improvement and would leave keep them in a lot more games (with a chance to win more extra points in OT and the shootout).
