Mike’s STH Xperience – Utah’s First Time to DC

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.

Thoughts on the Game

While dealing with the flu for the first time in my life, I wasn’t going to let it keep me from seeing the Utah Hockey Club face the Capitals for the first time ever in DC.

This game definitely did not go according to plan for the Capitals as they gave up two quick ones to Utah, but a positive for the Capitals was they were a perfect 2 for 2 on the power play, but at the same time, they were 0 for 1 on the penalty kill at the same time.

Tom Wilson and Alex Ovechkin had amazing games. I was personally rooting for a 4 goal game for Ovechkin to avenge his injury the last time these two teams saw each other, but a hat trick of assists is just as fun to watch too. People tend to forget that despite the chase for Wayne Gretzky, Ovechkin is quite the playmaker too.

Disappointing the Capitals lost in the shootout, but we have two weeks to relax and get ready for the playoff stretch, which will be exciting to see how the Capitals do.
