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!

boo me, for not recognizing we had drafted victor hedman’s brother.

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)

Brain Sakic FTW! (or is it FTL?)

uhhh… of course I mean Brian… him too

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!

by MikeL-Pivonka on Jun 12, 2009 12:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

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!

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”

by RedBirdie on Jun 12, 2009 2:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

Bring Brent Gretzky out of retirement, imo.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

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.
