Mike’s STH Xperience – Feeling the Strike

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 homestand continues as the Washington Capitals host the Tampa Bay Lightning.

After two failed attempts against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Washington Capitals defeated the Lightning in 7 games in the 2018 Eastern Conference Final. The Capitals won the first two games, but the Lightning took the next three for the 3-2 series lead. Goaltender Braden Holtby shut out the Lightning in both games 6 and 7 to lead the Capitals to their second Stanley Cup Final appearance.

Thoughts on the Game

Another game, another loss for the Washington Capitals at home. This time against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It looked like the Capitals got the first goal, but with the successful coach’s challenge, the Lightning were able to swing the momentum their way. Plus, with the help of a horrible tripping call against Tom Wilson, where it clearly looked like a dive by Nikita Kucherov, the Lightning were able to take the lead and never look back.

However, despite the loss, Alex Ovechkin scored his 884th career NHL goal, and is now 11 goals away from passing Wayne Gretzky.
