Mike’s STH Xperience – Clipping the Wings

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 return home with a matchup against the Detroit Red Wings.

In 1998 the Washington Capitals did the impossible as they made it to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in franchise history. However, it was not going to be an easy series as they faced the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings. The Capitals but up a valiant effort, even coming close to winning Game 2, but the Red Wings experience and poise swept the Capitals in four games to claim their second straight Stanley Cup.

Thoughts on the Game

It’s good to be home as the Washington Capitals kick off their final extended homestand for the season as they finish their regular season series with the Detroit Red Wings. Game started off a bit slow, but Dylan Strome would score to open things for the Capitals, but Dylan Larkin scored to tie things at one for the Red Wings.

Then after a scoreless second period, the Capitals offense woke up with goals from Pierre-Luc Dubois, Tom Wilson, and Connor McMichael to take give the Capitals the 4-1 victory. Fun fact, Capitals in-game host Mike Ploger came into my section, and was supposed to do the “Unleash the Fury” but shortly after he came into my section, Dubois scored, and then Wilson scored. So that was a fun one.

No goals from Alex Ovechkin, but we did see Tom Wilson record his first career 30 goal season, so that is a plus there.
