To my knowledge, neither was there. I’m certain Tyler wasn’t.

That’s so weird how you weren’t mentioned. I think the Post has something against you, seeing how you never get mentioned on the ‘Morning Reading List’ on Capitals Insider either….Its hard to miss Japers’ Rink when searching SBNation…

by Simply Sensational on Feb 9, 2009 10:12 AM EST reply actions  

I think it’s more a symptom of the Post still giving the Capitals second class treatment than anything else.

Dont think the conspiracy translates here though. No doubt, TEB does not link to Japers’ out out of fear nobody will ever return (I certainly rarely go back there….).

However, this is not a sports piece, this is a ‘wired’ piece. I do not think the WaPo writer ran over to the sports department to fact check anything here….plus, she probably didnt realize the Caps have a large and computer savvy fanbase, probably moreso than the Wiz.

Yeah, no conspiracy here – just my inability to weasel my way into the piece.

And Tarik has linked here before.

Blog Roll

The Post’s Nats blog (Nationals Journal) is going to have a blog roll soon. No word on whether Caps Insider will follow suit, but if it does, I can’t envision a scenario in which JP does not appear.

And one pic with your blog projected on the wall (unfortunately with the ugly Ovi card featured prominently…).

Are there no female bloggers?

by Scott in Shaw on Feb 9, 2009 10:42 AM EST reply actions  

Yeah, this blog was featured art work… thankfully, there was nothing horrible on the front page (other than that Ovechkin card).

As for women, I’m not sure how many females there are writing on the SBN network, but that party was definitely a sausage-fest.

Way to represent, J.P.

Glad to see that SBN is buying some bloggers some beverages, even if it isn’t me.

Next time I’ll be sure to drink enough for both of us.

Was impressed to see Leonsis made an appearance. Not like it was a long walk from VC, but still. I’m continually amazed by the quality and efforts of the folks behind the scenes here at SBN. What a great, dedicated bunch.

Got to get ’em down to South Florida for one of these affairs.

Well done, Jon. But who picked out that tie?

Jeez, no mention of Japers’ in the Post and now you’re critiqued on your fashion sense, JP. You need to hire a publicist and a stylist, apparently.

by David Getz on Feb 9, 2009 4:33 PM EST up reply actions  

I think I’m ok not fitting in with South Beach’s sense of style.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
