Mike’s STH Xperience – Getting Wild at Home

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 Washington Capitals kick off 2025 with a matchup against the Minnesota Wild.

From 1967 to 1993, Minnesota had the North Stars before they moved to Dallas. During their inaugural season, forward Bill Masterton scored the first goal in franchise history, but tragedy struck on January 13th, 1968 when Masterton fell backward and hit the back of his head on the ice leading to a “massive brain injury” and his death two days later.

Following Masterton’s passing, the hockey writers established the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy. In 2009-10, Washington Capitals goaltender Jose Theodore earned the Masterton after having his best season since 2001-02 following his son Chase’s death in 2009 from complications stemming from his premature birth.

Thoughts on the Game

This was an interesting game. While it was great to see Marc-Andre Fleury play his (what we all suspect is) final game in DC, and Alex Ovechkin continue his chase to pass Wayne Gretzky, the game felt a bit disjointed at times. And it’s weird to say that as both teams had really great chances, but at the end of the day, this game came to bounces and luck, and the Wild had both to take the 4-3 victory via the shootout.
