Surprisingly good read. Now why can’t all previews, hot stove and off season reports be done so well?

But Clayton Barthel never panned out! What a waste of a 3rd round draft pick! Fire GMGM! Ted should sell the team to someone who actually cares about winning!

Not bad. Green + Ovi make that whole draft pretty successful.

Teams are looking to get one or two NHL players in each set of selections. The Caps got 3, two of whom may win League awards later this month, and have at least one player who will be given a really good shot to make the team (Bourque). Sami Lepisto might have a shot here or somewhere else in the NHL as well…
Hedman’s brother was one of the picks… interesting… I didn’t realize. Suppose there’s a way…nah.
Let's go Caps!

Andrew Gordon
interesting write up on him..
hope he (or Osala) has an excellent training camp and gets the opportunity to fill the RW void so the Caps can pay more attention to acquiring a top 2 defender/wall.

that’s funny about Hedman’s brother. The Caps seem to have a thing fr the less-talented brother, don’t they? (Kronwall, I’m looking at you)

I noticed that.
The caps seem to have a thing for guys with famous fathers or brothers.

Well, I’m still holding out hope for baby Gus…

Ever since they started talking about Hedman, I kept thinking that the Caps had drafted someone with that name, but I didn’t know it was his brother. I also wondered what happened to him. Now I know.

And let's not forget...
…Kevin Hatcher (yeah, he was good, but Derrian was better…)
Let's go Caps!

And of course at any given time we had one or more of the K. Miller brothers from Michigan St. and of course the Cavalini brothers…
Let's go Caps!

images of spin-o-ramas dancing in my head.
Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.

of course, I forgot the endless string of Murray brothers as coaches…..
I feel like the only person missing is Fedor Fedorov to make this a complete “Who’s Who”

Bring Brent Gretzky out of retirement, imo.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
