Mike’s STH Xperience – Caps Home Opener

Written by

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.

For my first game as a STH it’s the Home Opener for the Washington Capitals as they host the New Jersey Devils!!

When the Washington Capitals debuted in 1974, the New Jersey Devils were not in New Jersey yet. They were in Kansas City as the Scouts, who also debuted in the NHL during the 1974-75 season. The Scouts stayed in Kansas City for two seasons before moving to Colorado.

Thoughts on the Game

Overall I thought it wasn’t a bad game for the Caps. Yes, they did lose 5-3 to the Devils, but this was also the Devils fourth game of the season and the Caps first. So the Devils were a much more well oiled team than the Caps were.

I will admit that the Sonny Milano-Hendrix Lapierre-Aliaksei Protas line was not very good, and I wasn’t big on having John Carlson with Jakob Chychrun on the ice together either. That’s definitely something Spencer Carbery is going to need to address going into their next game.

I thought Charlie Lindgren was good in goal, and was truly let down by the team breakdowns on defense. Pierre-Luc Dubois I also felt had a strong game too.

Alex Ovechkin had no shots on goal, but did produce an assist, and is now two assists away from 700 career NHL assists.
