At Tuesday night’s game, Gavin Dunaway of The Alphabetical Order, who was watching the game with Mike “Goodtyme” Garrity of Nitro Tokyo, suggested we write a story about, “how satisfying it is to watch your team completely drubbing another team.” That was pretty much the theme of the evening, as the Washington Capitals took a lead fifteen seconds into play, built it up to 4-0, and easily held on to win 6-2.

During breaks in the action, the big screen in the center of the arena highlighted Caps players by giving fans three facts to remember about them (sort of a short version of this silly promotion of last year’s team). Dunaway remarked, after a clip on Brooks Laich, that everyone on the Caps plays guitar, and he asked what the connection is between hockey and guitar. While we’re sure that the Jungian formal similarities between guitars and hockey sticks would imply similar insecurities to most strict Freudian psychoanalysts, DCist is proud to cover both hockey and rock music, and we’re in no position to criticize anyone with both interests.

Wednesday morning, DC101’s Elliot interviewed Paul, the bassist from Secret Society and a hockey-loving musician (the two met at a recent caps game). Furthering our psychoanalytic curiosity into the minds of people who like hockey and music, the interview focused on Paul’s outfit, which featured fishnets, pieces from Night-Dreams and strategic duct tape. Music-loving hockey players have also exhibited curious sartorial decisions. After the jump, actual hockey coverage.
