Mike’s STH Xperience – A Spooky Game

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 some Halloween fun, the Washington Capitals faced off with the Montreal Canadiens.

On Halloween in 1974, the Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens faced each other for the very first time. The Canadiens went on to shutout the Capitals 3-0. Ken Dryden would stop all 19 shots to earn the shutout.

Thoughts on the Game

So this was a conflicting one for me because I love Halloween, and I love to go trick or treating, so when I saw the Capitals were at home this year for Halloween I was surprised. Especially since most of the time the team played on Halloween, they’re normally on the road, so I’m able to get some trick or treating in, and then relax watching the game. But anyways, enough about me, more about the game lol.

I thought this was another good game for the Caps against a Montreal Canadiens team that was looking to bounce back from an embarrassing 8-2 loss to Seattle the other night. First period existed, but the second period things came alive for the score sheet as the Caps would get three goals, but so would the Habs. It seemed for every solid goal the Caps scored, they would have breakdowns that let Habs get the opportunity to score on quality chances, which they did.

The disallowed goal was completely offsides for the Caps, and the Habs responded by getting two of their own, but I love how the Capitals responded to tie the game up and then in the third period take the 6-3 victory. And man does it feel nice to see Alex Ovechkin score in person. 5 goals in 9 games, and on pace for 46 goals to surpass Wayne Gretzky. I hope Ovi gets 50 this season.
