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.

It’s Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as the Washington Capitals

#Caps50Facts

2025 marks the second time in franchise history the Washington Capitals face the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The only other time was in 2010, which saw both teams trade overtime victories to split the series in DC then the Capitals taking both Games 3 and 4 in Montreal. However for the Capitals, they ran into goaltender Jaroslav Halak who became red hot and stole the remainder of the series and giving the Canadiens the 4-3 series victory, eliminating the Capitals from the Playoffs.

Thoughts on the Game

We’re back at Capital One Arena for Game 2 of the Washington Capitals first round series with the Montreal Canadiens, and it would be a more tempered game compared to Game 1 on Monday night. The Capitals were still physical, but were not as aggressive as they were the previous game.

After a scoreless first period the Canadiens would strike first, but goals from Connor McMichael and Dylan Strome a minute apart brought the excitement back into Capital One Arena. The third period was very fast moving, and McMichael’s second of the game with the empty netter would clinch the game for the Capitals 3-1 for the 2-0 series lead over the Canadiens.

However, also in the third period, the Canadiens did press a bit more, and Logan Thompson stood on his head to keep the Canadiens at bay. Honestly, there was one huge save that was scary as the puck almost rolled into the net. Luckily it went wide. Thompson was spectacular once again, and let’s hope they keep it going in Montreal for Games 3 and 4.
