Recorded April 19, 2026   Anna and I sadly close the Caps 2026 season on something of a sour note, despite Our Caps winning their last several games. Before that however is something of a thank you and a plug for some local breweries that have helped enjoy these games, win or lose. After recapping the final two games, Anna and I take time to thank you the loyal listeners for helping keeping things going so well and for being part of the greatest fanbase in the world.   Reminder---all this week YOU the listener have a chance to have your say one on one with ME The Blueliner OnPoint in evaluating what happened with Our Caps this season. If not, have a happy safe and wonderful summer and we will see you next season!   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #JenayaTalksCaps #LockedOnCapitals

Ms. Jindependent comes back for another week to go over.....another 2-1 week for Our Caps.

All are welcome.   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #LockedOnCapitals #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast            

Recorded March 29, 2026   Ms. Jindependent Jini Clausen joins us for another week to break down what, at times, was a wild Western trip for Our Caps. As you can imagine with so much to unpack the commentary runs a bit long, but if yoiu're vlowing off steam like we were then you will find it well worth the extra time.   As is her custom, Jini has come up with another key stat breakdown that is worth watching as the Caps finish their season. As always if you want in on the conversation, get in touch with us: [email protected].   #ALLCAPS #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #LockedOnCapitals #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #SportsOTHP

Recorded March 22, 2026   This week we have a very special episode centered around a local event that benefits Hockey Fights Cancer. We;ve told you in the past the fight goes on past cancer month and now we are backing up what we say. Joining the Mermaid and myself is Al Given who is representing the Haymarket IcePlex where the event is being held. Al himself is both a Veteran and a Cancer survivor who has led a full life; you will love hearing about the event itself and how he got into hockey. Special thanks to Anna's friends Billy and Mike for mentioning the charity event to her. We then go into the week's games on the ice---Our Caps playoff hopes may be dimming but capturing 5 out of 6 standings points against sometough competition makes for a good week overall. Keep your eyes out as we plan to plug this event all week long---it will take place March 28th.

Stories include....the ever continuing misadventures of the Power Play, one surprise win and rules and their mispplication that drive us crazy.   Before we begin two bits of good news one non-hockey related and one very much hockey related.  Tune in and enjoy!   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #LockedOnCapitals

Recorded March 8, 2026   Well.....Caps management has pulled the trigger. And whatever the desired effect was, the result hasn't been good.   Anna and I go over the two games played which were of course, losses. Anna then gives her take on the departure of both Nic Dowd and John Carlson as well as what the Caps have looked like since. Spoiler alert---kindness got left at the door.   Next week the Mermaid will be off...if you're reading this and would love to be on the show for the next episode, drop us a line....   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #LockedOnCapitals #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast

Recorded March 1, 2026   It is good to have Caps hockey back! Even better when they win.....mostly. The Mermaid and I go over all three games. Two wins and one bad loss. We discuss it all. To begin however we give our props to the Gold Medal winning US Olympic Womens hockey team.  Finally we go over the upcoming schedule as far as the Caps playoff chances as well as what will happen at Friday's Trade Deadline: nothing.   We aren't the only ones with our eye on Caps' puck.....check out some other Caps fan made podcasts as listed below: #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #LockedOnCapitals #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #JenayaTalksCaps

Recorded February 8, 2026   Ms. Jin-dependent Jini Clausen checks in with us in our last episode before the long Olympic break.   After commiserating and complaining about the ongoing hyper winter weather here in the DMV….We take time to put a post mortem on the situation with the Washington Post. In particular we send our best vibes to Bailey Johnson who was until recently the Caps beat writer.   We then recap all 3 games from another winning week...Caps come out 2-1 as the begin their battle to earn a playoffs spot. After the recaps, Jini presents her report on the homework assignment she was given many weeks ago about a key stat for Our Caps. Anna gives her own take from her perspective as well. We like to say this is a one of a kind type of show. Trust me you will want to tune in to this discussion--you will not get it anywhere else.   The show takes a bit of a happy detour admittedly as we have a bit of trouble saying goodbye to you loyal listeners. Among the random subjects tossed out---Tom Wilson (naturally!) the Olympics and especially the performance of the Women's teams in their tournament.   Enjoy the Games! We will see you in a few weeks!     #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #LockedOnCapitals    

Recorded February 1, 2026   Anna returns from some time off and just in time for one of the more....dramatic weeks for Our Caps. Listen as we recount (after talking about the weather)...the early flat effort early in the week vs. the Kraken....only to overcome massive injuries to earn victories in back to backgames that went beyond regulation.   Like I said....dramatic. Could not be prouder of this team. Hopefully you will be too. Next episode will be our last before the Olympic break. Enjoy!   #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #LockedOnCapitals

Recorded January 18, 2026   A disappointing week for Our Caps. Anna took a break from it as it was so bad...... In her place this week C4 joins us again to run through the 1-3 week. In addition, we play a round of a new game---Pyramid B******t. Hope you enjoy! In our final segment before previewing next week's games, we go over some trade possibilities. You're welcome.

We are joined midway through by Robbie Gross of the Sports on the Hill Podcast who provides his perspective on the Caps 2-1-1 week. Immediately after the main episode, please stay around for some important announcements regarding content for both this podcast and especially Sports on the Hill including some bonus material you might find quite satisfying.

Recorded January 3, 2026   Anna and I begin 2026 as we ended 2-25---finishing up our holidays until work calls.... In the meantime there were three games played resulting in a 1-2 record. There was good and bad and we go over it all.     #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #LockedOnCapitals #SucramCapitalsOffTheirChain #JenayaTalksCaps #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast  

Recorded December 28, 2025   Anna and I close out 2025 with a review of the 2 games from the last full week of 2025. One bad loss and one thrilling win....can we expect any less from Our Caps this crazy season? Probably not. In addition we provide an update on Cole Hutson's condition. He was injured in a terrifying play during World Junior Championship action. Just try to remember we're just podcasters, not medical professionals.     #ALLCAPS #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #SportsOTHP #LockedOnCapitals #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain      

Recorded December 21, 2025   This holiday season I thought I’d do things differently and offer you a different flavor…by inviting another Caps podcaster into our world. And who better to do it than the Hockey Troll himself!   As the host of The Official Caps Chirp Podcast, he’s got some very worthwhile takes both from this week’s Caps games and overall.   Appropriately enough since Our Caps had a home-and-home this weekend, HT and I will be doing the same. Look for my appearance on The Official Caps Chirp Podcast Christmas Day!   Because we just can’t stop giving….😜       #ALLCAPS #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #JenayaTalksCaps #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #LockedOnCapitals  

Recorded December 14, 2025   Two games.....and Our Caps couldn't win either of them. Anna and I do not hold back our displeasure as we evaluate them. You have been warned....   On the good side, we have something that pertains to some good that's going on right here in the DMV.

Recorded December 6, 2025   Ms Jin-dependent herself, Jini Clausen joins me for an analysis of the Caps recent road trip to.....California! Two wins and an SO loss (mini rant is included) ain't bad!   As is her specialty, she also comes up with some figures that should get all Caps fans thinking. Hint---it's not always WHO scores the goals but WHEN they are scored!       #ALLCAPS #SportsOTHP #SucramsCapitalsOffTheirChain #JenayaTalksCaps #TheOfficialCapsChirpPodcast #LockedOnCapitals
