Mike’s STH Xperience – Coming of Age

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 Washington Capitals return home for a matchup with the Buffalo Sabres.

The 14th overall pick of the 1985 NHL Draft by the Buffalo Sabres, defenseman Calle Johansson would be traded to the Washington Capitals with a 1989 2nd Round pick for goalie Clint Malarchuk, defenseman Grant Ledyard, and a 1991 6th Round pick on March 7th, 1989.

Johansson spent 15 seasons with the Capitals recording 113 goals and 361 assists for 474 points in a then franchise record of 983 games played.

Thoughts on the Game

This was a better game for the Washington Capitals at home. The first period was more of a sluggish start as both teams got a feel for each other. The Buffalo Sabres first goal was a fluky one that just squeaked past Logan Thompson. However, the Capitals responded and played better throughout the game.

I will say the officiating was poor. Especially in the first period when two Capitals got high sticked and Jakob Chychrun was tripped with a knee on knee. Overall, good win, and hopefully they can get into a good rhythm at home.
