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 play host to the Vancouver Canucks in Wednesday night action.
The Vancouver Canucks drafted forward Trevor Linden 2nd overall in 1988. The Washington Capitals acquired Linden from the Montreal Canadiens on March 13th, 2001 along with forward Danius Zubrus for a 2001 1st Round pick and forwards Jan Bulis and Richard Zednik.
Linden played 28 games for the Capitals before being traded to the Canucks on November 10th, 2001. The Capitals used the 2002 1st Round pick acquired from Vancouver to select forward Boyd Gordon.
Late games are brutal to go to, and quite frankly, this felt like one of the most tiring games I’ve been too. Glad that the Caps won, but man, they probably didn’t deserve it with this one.

It’s a Saturday Afternoon matinee as the Washington Capitals host the New York Rangers.
On November 26th, 2005, the New York Rangers hosted the Washington Capitals, and would feature the battle of the rookies as goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was establishing himself with the Rangers while forward Alex Ovechkin was off to a hot start for the Capitals.
Tied at two a piece, the game required the shootout, and it went a then record 15 rounds. Rangers defenseman Marek Malik scored with a slick puck between the legs shot to beat Capitals goaltender Olaf Kolzig to give the Rangers the 3-2 victory.
I don’t know what it is about afternoon games, but the Capitals always come out a little sluggish, and after giving up the first goal of the game off of a gaffe by Logan Thompson, the Capitals responded with two of their own, and really never looked back. They were able to continue to grow their lead throughout the game, so when the Rangers did score, they had a cushion to work with.
Great seeing Alex Ovechkin netting his 872nd career goal, and second goal in two games at home. I’m really hoping he breaks the record and hit 900 goals this season. 50 goals would be a bonus.
