Mike’s STH Xperience – Flying With the Jets

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.

On April 7th, 1995, the Washington Capitals acquired forward Mike Eagles and defenseman Igor Ulanov from the Winnipeg Jets for a pair of draft picks in the 1995 NHL Draft.

Eagles would spend the last five seasons of his NHL career with the Capitals recording 13 goals and 35 points in 266 games played. Eagles played a role on the team that made it to the 1998 Stanley Cup Final.

Ulanov only played three games for the Capitals before being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks on October 17th, 1995.

Thoughts on the Game

It was good to be back at Capital One Arena for a Capitals game, and one of the things I noticed right away was those things I talked about when I went to Toronto to take in a Maple Leafs game. There was energy throughout the game, even when the Capitals were trailing the Jets. Take note Toronto.

As for the game itself, it was an ok game for the Capitals. IT was clear there was still some road fatigue the team was dealing with, plus taking on the Jets, who are at the top of the NHL for a reason, was a healthy challenge for their first game back at home. It was great to see an Alex Ovechkin goal at home again.
