"Caps on Holiday" continues in the Czech Republic, where goaltender Michal Neuvirth backstopped Team Jagr to a 7-5 victory over the host SHK Hodonín.
Surely it's time to retire the Hershey gear, Neuvi!

I liked this picture too:

Hooks, if you’re lonesome and in need of more Melchior, he’s playing this season for Linkoping in the SEL.

Thanks for the info, Emily. I do like hockeydb’ing him every once in a while, glad he’s still playing some high level hockey, he’s a good guy.

You’d think he would want to be getting his ’10-11 pads broken in. A good showing at camp could be big for him.
I am a hockey fan first, and a Caps fan second.
Most players find their way to at least one charity game/exhibition match during the summer, and Jaromir arranged for this game and invited all the Czech NHLers to play. Jagr was supposed to play, but was unable to, more or less at the last minute. Flash was also s’posed to be playing, but I don’t think he did.

I found a nice collection of photos from a Team Jagr practice. Here is Michal continuing the proud Caps tradition of giant blocky t-shirt graphics:

The fellow whose album these pix are from has a mighty fine goalie mask himself:

What's with the goalie Simpsons obsession in that neck of the woods?

Also, thanks for zero pictures of Neuvi with his team’s namesake.
