Washington Capitals' John Carlson Chasing 100-Point Season

Washington Capitals' John Carlson Chasing 100-Point Season

The Hockey Writers — Alex Ovechkin has been absolutely tearing up the league in January, earning himself First Star of the Month honors, but he is not the only one on the Washington Capitals doing great things. John Carlson, who took the hockey world by storm for the first half of the season, is continuing to have a Norris Trophy-worthy season.

Washington Capitals' Ilya Samsonov Making a Calder Trophy Push

The Hockey Writers — Ilya Samsonov, the Washington Capitals' highly touted first-round pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft and presumptive goalie of the future, finally got his chance in the NHL this season. The rookie is every bit the goaltender that the franchise had hoped for, and he has worked himself into consideration for the Calder Trophy.

chicktrickpodcast.com — We have reached the dog days of the NHL offseason. The awards have been handed out, the draft is done, free agent frenzy has come and gone, development camp is over, but we're a long way from prospect tournaments and training camp, and all those young RFAs don't look to be signing anytime soon.

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — On a team with stars such as Bryce Harper , Max Scherzer , Trea Turner and Juan Soto , sometimes it can be easy to forget about Anthony Rendon .

Liz Barr: Bryce Harper finishing season on a strong note

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — Bryce Harper's 2018 season has been a roller coaster, to say the least. In a year many predicted to be off the charts due to his upcoming free agency, Harper has underperformed in the eyes of many. His numbers are not fantastic; they're nowhere near what he hit last season (.319/.413/.595) or what he hit in his 2015 MVP campaign (.330/.460/.649).

Liz Barr: Wander Suero, Greg Holland have strengthened Nationals bullpen

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — In a season like the 2018 Nationals have been having, it's important to focus on individual accomplishments. Not a lot of the guys have been necessarily bad, per se, and many of them are actually having fantastic seasons. Nothing is clicking all on the same cylinders at the same time.

Liz Barr: Soto, Robles offer a glimpse of Nationals' future

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — At the beginning of the year, everyone anticipated Victor Robles to be a quick call-up; he was going to be the young face of the future that made his mark this season, digging out a role in the outfield and being an important piece for the Nationals off the bench or perhaps in some kind of starting role.

Liz Barr: Strong defense has been consistent for Nationals

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — To say that this season has been a roller coaster for the Nationals would be an understatement. They've struggled to find consistency. Sometimes they score double-digit runs and sometimes they get shut out multiple games in a row. Finding rhythm has been difficult. The pitching has been up and down, the offense has been up and down.

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — Let's think about awards, shall we? Individual awards are the main things going for Nationals for the rest of the season, and individual accomplishment cannot be overlooked, no matter what the team is doing. Now the question that's been on everyone's mind for the past few months: Can Juan Soto win National League Rookie of the Year?

Liz Barr: Franchise leaderboards are Zimmerman's domain

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — Ryan Zimmerman has been the face of the Nationals since their inaugural year in 2005. You can't say the name without thinking about Zimmerman in some way, shape or form. Whether it be as a fresh-faced young third baseman, a Rookie of the Year runner-up, a Silver Slugger and Gold Glover, the humanitarian, the seasoned vet or the king of walk-offs, Zimmerman's fingerprints are all over this team.

Liz Barr: Resurgent Roark getting second-half results

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — He stumbled, but he got back up again. Many lost faith in him, but he proved them wrong. Tanner Roark is back and better than ever, and it appears he's re-finding the form he had in 2016, the year in which he came in 10th place in National League Cy Young Award voting.

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — The trade deadline has come and gone, and the Nationals are still finding out who they are. The road has been a little bit rocky, but of late, the starting pitching seems to have found its footing, and over the last week, the pitchers have been dynamite and have been doing their best to lead the Nationals to success.

Assessing the Nats and the Second Half

thenatsblog.com — The All-Star Game has come and gone, Bryce Harper is the Home Run Derby champ, the tyranny of the American League is still ongoing, and the second half has officially begun. Will the Nationals reset, finally find themselves, and make that second-half push they're going to need?

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — Are the Nationals doing well? To put it simply, no. But if we keep focusing on the negatives, we will all drive ourselves crazy. So instead, we're going to focus on a few bright spots, and today we're going to look in an unorthodox place at a few guys who have had some under-the-radar good years: in the bullpen at Shawn Kelley and Matt Grace .

I'm A Woman Who Like Sports And Yes, I Know What I'm Talking About

Odyssey — Sometimes men need to just stop talking for a minute and listen. I enjoy sports. It's one of the primary things in my life that I look to for entertainment. I watch sports shows during the day, I listen to podcasts, I follow players and sports news outlets and beat reporters on social media, and, of course, I watch games.

It seemed like the same old story, and the Nationals were going to lose badly yet again, and to a bad team, no less. The same old Nats, and it looked like things weren't going to get better.

Liz Barr: Finding the positives during a rough stretch for Nationals

Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) — The last month or so of Nationals baseball has been a little bit rough. It's been tough for the team and tough for fans, and at times it's been hard to watch. They keep finding new ways to lose, and it seems like there are never enough runs scored, they can't get that big hit and there are always runners left on base.

Starting Pitching Struggles

Starting Pitching Struggles

thenatsblog.com — For the majority of the 2018 season, the starting pitching has been the rock. The one thing the Nationals could rely upon when all else faltered (which it has, many a time). However, that rock hasn't been so steady as of late. Maybe it's a midseason funk.
