so sad, i’m gonna miss her (caps) reporting. felt like this was coming

 

[amjay13]

She really grew into the role the past few years and did a nice job. Her replacement seems very good as well. Best of luck to IK.

 

[itsjustsurvival]

She was good. Best of luck.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Is she still going to do sports or news news?

Edit: Never mind just read the actual tweet. That's quite a change. Best of luck!

News in moscow? Good Luck.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Bummer, she was a good one.

Time to follow SamanthaJPell if you don't already.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

We've been very spoiled over the years with Caps beat writers but I think Isabelle was the best. Samantha Pell seems very good thus far as well which is encouraging. Big congrats and appreciation to Isabelle... she was fantastic.

 

[Silky mitts]

Did it go from Tarik to Carrera to Prewitt to Izzy to Pell or am I missing some people?

 

[Raikkonen]

Prewitt wasnt WaPo methinks

Prewitt wasnt WaPo methinks

Pretty sure he's correct with Prewitt. The one that wasn't WaPo that was around for a bit was Adam Vingan who is now a beat reporter in Nashville.

Even Katie Carrera who was the worst beat reporter in that list had the single most important story in recent Capitals memory on the dysfunction of the Capitals under Oates and McPhee. The Caps have had pretty good reporters for a while now.

Not criticizing IK or anyone, but how are we ranking any beat reporter above the other? They all seem interchangeable to me.


Only thing about Katie Carrera that I remember is when she accidentally pasted a story about a Cap flirting with her into one of her blog roundups.

 

[arlcapsfan]

I believe Carrera was pretty hot if my memory serves me correctly. On another note, Izzy really grew into the job. Best of luck to her.

 

[strungout]

Oh Katie....never to be forgotten.

The other guy that worked the beat I think for the Washington Times was Steve Whyno.

I think they all had different strengths, Izzy had the strongest Twitter feed, Prewitt had a good feed and features, didn't break as much news, Carrera and Tarek broke more stories.

 

[Calicaps]

Sigh... Happy for her, but I wish covering the Caps wasn't such a whistlestop gig.

 

[Devil Dancer]

The Post must be high in Izzie since they're sending her off to do real journalism.

 

[g00n]

Nice job. Thanks and good luck.

 

[Hatfield]

The Post must be high in Izzie since they're sending her off to do real journalism.

I dunno...is the Post even capable of such a thing anymore?

She says: "I knew nothing about hockey when I started". I will give her credit for catching on pretty quickly, but this kind of shows how little respect the WaPo has always had for hockey. It's just a half-step up from intern. Only person who ever seemed to approach the job with any passion for the sport was Tarik. For everyone else it was just a stepping stone to the next gig

News in moscow? Good Luck.

She must be going over there to cover the upcoming election..... batta bing, I'll be here all night.
