Verizon Center's New Screens

Per the Verizon Center website:

"Verizon Center is set to score the ultimate arena experience by installing the first indoor high-definition light emitting diode (LED) display scoreboard. ANC Sports Enterprises and Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision Systems will create, install and operate the first true high-definition LED center-hung scoreboard. Verizon Center will also become the first arena to exclusively feature Diamond Vision™ LED fascia (ribbon displays), corner stat displays, and video boards driven by ANC Sports’ patent pending VisionSOFT operating system.

...

"The four high-definition Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision™ 6mm video screens will measure 14 feet, 5 inches high by 25 feet, 2 inches wide, providing fans with the highest clarity of all the action, including video playback. In addition to the high-definition boards, the new center-hung scoreboard will also feature four 10mm 5-foot, 3-inch high by 25-foot 6-inch wide LED video matrixes and two 20mm LED rings. The four 10mm video matrixes will feature images with clarity found on many primary arena video screens around the country, creating an incredible visual structure with the high-definition displays that will exhibit over 68 billion colors.

...

"The new scoreboard is set to debut this fall at a yet to be determined date."

Rangers and Canucks brawl from yesterday. Kesler gets jumped by four Rangers, and a scrum ensues. O'Brien pokes Avery. Good stuff.

And listen at 2:30 for some good swearing between Hordichuk and Avery.
Brendan Morrison, Survivorman!
 

You may recall that after signing with the Caps this summer but before reporting to training camp in September, BMo took a trip to the Canadian wilderness for charity. 
 


Despite the "mosquitos as big as seagulls", the participants all survived and emerged from the woods to a tasty homestyle Hornpayne feast.
 



And now, we have video.
 



There's a lot more Brad May and Kris King than #9 in this clip, but we get a little flavor of how the Caps' second line center spent his summer vacation.
Just wanted to share a shot of the action on Sunday night, including Shaone Morrisonn vs. Jason Chimera on the left.
