DC Sports Update

The Washington Wizards are 1-2 after 3 preseason games. The wizards lost to Dallas and Detroit but were able to pick up a win in Memphis. The regular seasons begins on October 29th when the wizards will host the New Jersey Nets at the Verizon Center.


The Washington Capitals are 1-1 after the regular season began last Friday. The Caps fell in the season opener to Atlanta by a score of 7-4. But, redemption was quick for the Caps. Saturday, the Capitals had their home opener against Chicago and won with a final score of 4-2. New goaltender Jose Theodore looked shaky for the second night in a row as he allowed two questionable scores in the first period, one within the first 26 seconds of the game. However, those would be the only goals by Chicago for the night. The caps scored 4 unanswered goals to get their first win of the season. The capitals will play the Vancouver Canucks tonight at home, starting at 7 pm.


And last, despite being heavily favored for the win, the Redskins lost at home to the St. Louis Rams yesterday. The final score was 19-17. Rams kicker Josh Brown scored a 49 yard field goal with no time remaining on the clock to win the game. It was the first win of the year for St. Louis. The Redskins fall to 4-2.
