Mike’s STH Xperience – Dacek Rules the Sens
Welcome to Mike’s Season Ticket Holder (STH) Xperience!
This season is my first one as a Season Ticket holder for the Washington Capitals, and in place of doing Caps Game Recaps, I’ll be sharing my experience being a STH during the 2024-25 season. Here I’ll be sharing all of the photos that I take during pregame warmups, along with any FB/IG Reels and TikToks I create at the games.
I will also be doing this for any other games I may go to, whether it’s in Hershey for the Bears, or at other NHL venues for games.

#Caps50Facts
Drafted 14th overall in the 1992 NHL Draft, the Washington Capitals selected defenseman Sergei Gonchar. Gonchar spent the first ten seasons of his career with the Capitals where he recorded 144 goals and 416 points in 654 games.
Gonchar was also a three time All-Star while with the Capitals, and was a part of the Capitals when they went to the Stanley Cup Final in 1998. On March 3rd, 2004, the Capitals traded Gonchar to the Boston Bruins. Gonchar later spent three seasons with the Ottawa Senators. Gonchar won the Stanley Cup as part of the 2009 Pittsburgh Penguins.

Thoughts on the Game
This game had more meaning to me than most games this season, and the reason for that is because on Friday I was laid off from my job, along with several others, due to DOGE and what is happening to the Federal Government. This game was always planned to be a group outing with my Dacek Ball Hockey group, but I also worked with a lot of the people that are part of the program, so when myself and others got laid off, I made a point to make this more of a celebration than being about the game.
For the game itself, it was a good one. Tom Wilson got the Gordie Howe hat trick, and the Capitals got the win. No goals from Alex Ovechkin, but that’s ok. The important part is that everyone had fun.
For anyone interested, the Dacek Ball Hockey Group meets up every Monday at 6p ET at the Nancy Dacek Community Center in Rockville, MD. You must be 18 years or older to play. For more information, email Michael at TXHThockey@gmail.com with the subject line “Dacek Ball Hockey”.

Mike’s STH Xperience – Feeling the Strike
Welcome to Mike’s Season Ticket Holder (STH) Xperience!
This season is my first one as a Season Ticket holder for the Washington Capitals, and in place of doing Caps Game Recaps, I’ll be sharing my experience being a STH during the 2024-25 season. Here I’ll be sharing all of the photos that I take during pregame warmups, along with any FB/IG Reels and TikToks I create at the games.
I will also be doing this for any other games I may go to, whether it’s in Hershey for the Bears, or at other NHL venues for games.

#Caps50Facts
After two failed attempts against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Washington Capitals defeated the Lightning in 7 games in the 2018 Eastern Conference Final. The Capitals won the first two games, but the Lightning took the next three for the 3-2 series lead. Goaltender Braden Holtby shut out the Lightning in both games 6 and 7 to lead the Capitals to their second Stanley Cup Final appearance.

Thoughts on the Game
Another game, another loss for the Washington Capitals at home. This time against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It looked like the Capitals got the first goal, but with the successful coach’s challenge, the Lightning were able to swing the momentum their way. Plus, with the help of a horrible tripping call against Tom Wilson, where it clearly looked like a dive by Nikita Kucherov, the Lightning were able to take the lead and never look back.
However, despite the loss, Alex Ovechkin scored his 884th career NHL goal, and is now 11 goals away from passing Wayne Gretzky.
