Welcome to our sometimes-weekly hockey update. I expect this will be the last for a while, given latest circumstances. Even though approximately eighteen years have passed in the span of a week, there were actually hockey games in living memory. The last Caps game was played on Monday, a shootout loss to Buffalo, attended by … Continue reading 15th March: Sunday Overtime – Shutout

26th January: Sunday Overtime – Three on Three
Yes, I am actually posting a Sunday Overtime on Sunday but, as the eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed, I didn't post at all last week. I gave myself a bye week, albeit unintentionally. Do you ever have those days or weekends or weeks when you are just not able? Yeah, that was me last … Continue reading 26th January: Sunday Overtime – Three on Three

Listen, I should probably start calling this Monday Overtime instead. I have no excuse for my lateness this week, other than sheer laziness. After a day of intensive spring-cleaning, I had no desire to open my laptop. But that doesn't mean that all was quiet in the NHL last week - far from it. Here … Continue reading 12th January: Sunday Overtime – Three on Three

Welcome back to our weakly feature on the good, the bad and the ugly of hockey. Yes, once more I am a day late but in my defence: I have coursework to do, I had to go see Little Women yesterday evening and, I don't know about you lot, but it doesn't feel like a … Continue reading 5th January: Sunday Overtime – Three on Three

Welcome back to our regular post about hockey highlights and/or lowlights from the past week. I hope all of you who observe are having a very enjoyable and peaceful festive season. While I'm sitting here, working through a gigantic box of celebrations (the Malteaser sweets are my favourite) and watching Avengers: Endgame (while getting mad … Continue reading 29th Dec: Sunday Overtime – Three on Three

Welcome to our weekly post, in which we look at some of the stories that have stayed with us this week.

Welcome to this week's instalment of Sunday Overtime, a weekly feature in which we talk about the stories that have stuck with us in hockey this week. (Featured image from the Philadelphia Flyers.) 1. OMG On Monday, the Dallas Stars fired their head coach, Jim Montgomery. https://twitter.com/DallasStars/status/1204423056480972801 This was not a "hockey" firing.

Back after a two-week absence (last weekend your contributors were all hanging out together and obviously not-blogging, shame on us), this week's Sunday Overtime covers some memorable events over the past fortnight.(featured image from the Vancouver Canucks) 1. The Throwback There can be a distinct lack of colour and fun in the NHL so this … Continue reading 8th Dec: Sunday Overtime – Three on Three

1. The Gudas When Radko Gudas joined the Capitals over the summer, his reputation preceded him. Known for his big hits and racking up penalty minutes, Capitals fans could be forgiven for being dubious about the addition to their blueline. But when Gudas arrived, he was far from the towering, burly, intimidating presence we'd all … Continue reading 24th Nov: Sunday Overtime -Three on Three

Welcome back to our weekly post about the good and the bad of the NHL. 1. The Rude This first point is probably a demonstration of Lindsey's spectacular sense of humour failure (which doesn't happen often but when it does ....) November 13 was World Kindness Day, and, on Twitter, the Carolina Hurricanes decided to … Continue reading 17th Nov: Sunday Overtime – Three on Three
