Mike’s STH Xperience – Caps Get Leafy

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.

The 4th overall pick of the 1979 NHL Draft by the Washington Capitals, forward Mike Gartner played 10 seasons with the Capitals and recorded 397 goals and 392 assists for 798 points in 758 games played before being traded to the Minnesota North Stars. Gartner would then end up with the Toronto Maple Leafs after being traded by the New York Rangers on March 21st, 1994. Gartner spent the next two seasons with the Leafs. #Caps50Facts

Thoughts on the Game

Well this one started with promise, and then ended with a thud. The first two periods the Caps played well, and had the 3-1 lead going into the third period. But for whatever reason, the third period was not good hockey for the Capitals.

Though, for now I also want to focus on the officiating. It was suspect when it came to a few things. For one, the fact that the situation room in Toronto got involved, not once, but twice on goals that shouldn’t have counted, and didn’t, was very interesting. Also, the goalie interference call that waived the goal by John Carlson was suspect, because let’s be honest, what is goalie interference these days?

But yea, this game is one the Caps need to shake off, and set their sights on a dangerous Colorado Avalanche team on Friday night.
