Looks like this is missing all of the free agent invitees. Will they even bother to post those ahead of time I wonder?
And Hauswirth is no longer a free agent. Which makes me very happy.

Only person I can think of off the top of my head that is not going to attend is this years #1 pick Johansson. Am I missing anyone else?
Yeah, it’s disappointing he won’t be here. I thought it might be because the SEL was starting its season but then baby Gusty will be here and he’s in the SEL this year. Maybe someone from the Caps will explain his absence.
Btw, as I tweeted, letting Dan Dunn wear #80 = sacrilege. Might as well let Andrew Glass wear #8 or Godfrey wear #5.

What am I missing? The Caps don’t have any established #80’s in their history…..
Because now I can justify browsing and commenting during the work day with the argument that I am promoting my business.

Wey must be paying his own way. Good for him.
I’m looking forward to seeing Casavant’s skating, or lack thereof.
Not on the list: Seabrook, Dovgan, Broda…
(Broda’s there – #79… why numerical and not alphabetical is beyond me, but whatever)
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
FWIW, Broda led the WHL in goals last year. Doesn’t mean he’s ticketed for stardom — history indicates that leading the WHL in goals-scored means squadoosh — but….
Also worth noting that he scored 36 of those 39 while he was with Moose Jaw, who were just awful this year.
What I’m trying to say is that I’m particularly interested to see Broda, to see if he’s a contendah.
I’m watching Jake Hauswirth, myself. I remember him being pretty good in last year’s camp.

I am with you there—he is the most intriguing (to me) after Gus.

Jake Hauswirth was the FA signing, correct?

Dumb question – is Jake related to Adam?
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
I don’t know who that is, Rege.
Unless you mean Adam Adam, in which case, we’re all related to him and the world was created 5,000 years ago, no?

Hauswirth was an animal last camp. He was imposing, menacing and frightning… And that was just stretching

Our forwards seem pretty small

happy to finally see baby gus and SDR play. carlson should dominate this camp (he already did last year.)
Washington Post: “As expected, 2009 first-round draft pick Marcus Johansson won’t be making the trip…”
Why was that expected? Is he hurt? Or?
if memory serves, baby gus didn’t make it out last year and backstrom didn’t come out in 2006, the year he was drafted.
by Natty Bumppo on Jul 9, 2009 11:00 AM EDT up reply actions
Yes. And having the kid with the back issues skating suicides was an… interesting decision.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
he may have made the decision to try and do them—you knwo, show how tough he is and all. He may have been trying to hide how bad his back was hurting.
I don’t think we’re questioning that BabyGus did what he was told. We’re questioning the coach who did the telling.
ok, but you’re some kid, who has had back problems, trying to impress the guys who drafted you, which just happens to be Dad’s old team. I’d be hiding the extent of my injury, too. Coaches and trainers can only go on what athletes tell them. I’ve been on both sides of this dynamic a few too many times. Technically, Gus is an adult, you can only ask him so many times “How does your back feel?” if he keeps replying “Fine.”
Interesting that there is only two goaltenders this year vs. last years four – both Holtby and Dunn should get a lot of work in – and coaches should get a good look at them as well, regardless of what number Dunn wears…

There’s already been an FA invitee announced via other sources (some Saskatoon paper or something, I don’t remember who he plays for) so I’m guessing there will be another as well to make 4.
Michael Dubuc played well at rookie camp last year, signed on with ECHL South Carolina, and 35-23-58 in 49 games last year. I wonder if he’ll re-show.
(Today’s sign you’re hockey-starved: You’re wondering where Michael Frickin’ Dubuc will be next week.)

I’d be very surprised if Dubuc (Doobie?) wasn’t there.

Is Mike Knuble going to show up and beat the snot out of Brett Flemming?
If you've read this far...seek help.
I thought giving out 22 was odd as well.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
I’m kind of hoping Knuble wears a different number. It’d be awkward for me to see someone without 11 letters in his name with 22.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.
Starts with a K… close enough for me. Besides, Boyd Kane and Rico Fata have worn it in the interim, so it’s already been muddied.

If I’m one of those Americans, I remember the WJC and I’m keeping my head on a swivel when Della Rovere’s out there!
What is this becoming, “Miracle”? “The name on the front matters a hell-uva lot more than the one on the back!”
These kids arent gona take runs at each other because of the WJC’s. Theyre smarter than that
Not to mention the only guy Delly really probably pushed “over the edge” (if that’s what you want to call it) is JvR, and perhaps that Swedish guy that was taking runs (can’t recall his name).
If I’m tending bar at the Chevy’s in the mall… nevermind.

LOL! In a related story, they should totally deliver margaritas up to Kettler on scrimmage days.

Are we allowed to bring alcohol into the building? If so, I might not be averse to throwing an itty-bitty cooler with a six-pack into my skate bag.
"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." - Delores Ibarruri
Last year, I brought a cooler and just left it in the car. Since admission is free, there’s no problem making several trips back and forth. I highly doubt you can bring alcohol into the building…Did you mention (somewhere) something about an open skate sometime during D camp?
Kettler has daytime open skates all the time on the other rink. Here’s the schedule.
Looks like 2-3:30 PM that week on the Arlington rink (not the one the Caps practice on) – so I’ll probably make a day of it on Wednesday, watch practices in the morning, go pick up lunch at the end of practice, walk around the mall a little maybe, then come back and throw on a pair of skates for an hour or so before coming back to watch the scrimmage. Sounds like a pretty good day to me, don’t you think?

So last year, in the autograph line, It was Andrew Gordon and Oscar Osala that were saying they were just going out and hitting each other as much and as hard as they could….
So this year it will be SDR and who?
Promote the game, it's the NHL, not SCHL
Good question. Maybe SDR and Mitchell will have a go.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
to be more visible? I don’t remember him being as note worthy as others last year. I liked Pinner, Hausworth and Osala out of the forwards last camp primarily.

J.P. had a man crush on SDR last year :-)
Complete with a brief interview i believe

Indeed. Read it in all it’s awesomeness here.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
some of this has already been pointed out, but:
Of the college/retaining NCAA eligibility guys: Burke, DeSimone, Dunn, Glass, Wey; missing from the list: Nick Larson (possible they released his rights or possible he simply isn’t attending due to the NCAA rules, etc.; hard to know with the information we have available; for now, he’s still on the Caps prospects roster on the website, but that is usually incomplete/inaccurate)
Of the 09 draft picks, 6 of 7 are on the list, Johansson the only one not on the roster just released; all of the 08 draft picks.
The other name missing from that list is Seabrook’s as someone pointed out.
Bruess is on the roster (someone said above he isn ’t but his name is there) like the 2 other FA signees Hauswirth and Miskovic.
The FA invite is goalie, Garrett Zemlak, as noted above it was mentioned in a recent article.
So far, before we find out the other FAs, the tally:
3 goalies including 1 FA
14 forwards
8 defensemen
But he was giddy, remember the interview (with TSN)? He’s the kid who listed Ovie as his favorite player.
yeah, drafted, and then telling everyone how much he hoped he got invited to d-camp because he loves the caps and loves Ovechkin and just can’t believe that his favorite team drafted him. Good for him on getting invited, then.
Is there a reason why the top 5 or so draft picks wouldn’t get invited?

Did anyone get to see the one Game Big Joe played in Hershey?
We should expect him in Hershey this year, with a chance of a call up?

Ya gotta figure there are at least three guys ahead of him in terms of call-upability, and the Caps have eight D at the NHL level. (For now.) So I dunno.
rec’d. Carlson, Sloan, Collins will all be ahead of him on the call up list, just trying to get a gauge on him. (obviously going on the premise Carlson follows the Alzner path from last year).
Still can’t get the OFB article on him out of my head and hope he can make the leap in a couple years.

I think there’s a little bit too much excitement over Finley over there. He has a big frame, he’s strong, and he has potential but he hasn’t proven anything at the professional level and he was beaten in his only professional fight to this point.
I’m not sure he proved much at the collegiate level. The reports I’ve read (only read) on him have been pretty… unenthusiastic.
He’s much, much better against mascots that Crag MacT though.
I’m not sure he proved much at the collegiate level. The reports I’ve read (only read) on him have been pretty… unenthusiastic.
I’ve had the same experience but the fact that coaches liked him enough to give him significant minutes on a good team, that his plus-minus was always good, and that most of the criticism I read was people complaining about his lack of skating ability makes me wonder how much is justified and how much is the typical tall-defenseman-as-scapegoat trend that’s so common (Chara, Schultz, Gill, etc).
Agreed. But that’s why I think he’s a tremendously unlikely call-up: Tall guys take longer to develop. (Chara… Schultz is the exception, of course. Schultz at 23 > Chara at 23.)
I just can’t help thinking that “Hall Gill” is Finley’s top potential upside, and that the odds he gets there are pretty slim. But that’s just a gut feeling.
by Gould Old Days on Jul 9, 2009 6:02 PM EDT up reply actions
And we’d probably be happy with him reaching that potential, no? I don’t have high hopes for the big fella, personally.

I’d be very pleasantly surprised. I wish him all the best — seems like a good kid. We’ll see what effect Hershey has on him.

To be clear: The post was revolting and bloodthirsty, and celebrated violence with the lighting-up-of-a-cigarette. Kind of a violence = sex high. It was a cry for help.

Either way, it made me excited to see what Finley could do in our lineup. We need some anger.

I’ve pretty much stopped reading OFB. Just stopped getting much out of it. This one didn’t help…
by Gould Old Days on Jul 9, 2009 6:03 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, but it depends on the situation. For example, if he’s working his ass off in Hershey, they might throw him a cup of coffee as a reward. Also, they seem to like to rotate the call-ups a bit rather than going with some pre-determined depth chart.
Sami Lepisto saw action two years in a row – no reason to rule out a Finley appearance at some point this year.

He’s the UNH kid, I think, right? Drafted out of the USHL? I can’t remember…

And the nearly doubling of his PIMs in the NCAA isn’t particularly attractive, either.
