Rangers and Canucks brawl from yesterday. Kesler gets jumped by four Rangers, and a scrum ensues. O'Brien pokes Avery. Good stuff.
And listen at 2:30 for some good swearing between Hordichuk and Avery.

Brendan Morrison, Survivorman!
You may recall that after signing with the Caps this summer but before reporting to training camp in September, BMo took a trip to the Canadian wilderness for charity.
Despite the "mosquitos as big as seagulls", the participants all survived and emerged from the woods to a tasty homestyle Hornpayne feast.
And now, we have video.
There's a lot more Brad May and Kris King than #9 in this clip, but we get a little flavor of how the Caps' second line center spent his summer vacation.
Just wanted to share a shot of the action on Sunday night, including Shaone Morrisonn vs. Jason Chimera on the left.

In the NFL, success isn't about pep talks or similar salary structures. It's about figuring out a way to pull away from the pack.
For the Steelers, it's about embracing attention to detail.
"Every game that the Steelers played when I was there, we weren't always emotionally up," said Whisenhunt, who was offensive coordinator and tight ends coach in Pittsburgh.
"We weren't always as fired up. But the one thing that was consistent most of the time was the (attention to) technique and how we played."

Is the discipline, consistency horse dead yet?

Restricted Free Agents, Class of November 2009
Toronto-based blogger Fantana takes a look at the League's RFA Class of 2009. His assessments of the Capitals on the list match fairly well with the discussions at Japers', but it is useful to see the list from around the NHL.
Swedish TV channel SVT2 came to the Phonebooth for a visit with native son Nicky Backstrom
"When Don Cherry predicted Ovi would be taken out by someone he hit (cleanly), was he prescient - or did he open the door for it?"

Caps Scouting Forsberg?
Peter Forsberg's foot is supposedly healed (as healed as it's going to get, anyway), and he's suiting up for the Swedes in the Karjala Cup starting on Thursday. Rumor has it that the Caps are among the teams scouting him.
Obviously everything depends on moving Nylander, but what do you think? Does this team need a guy like Forsberg with Morrison playing as well has he is?

Sergei Fedorov Named as Ambassador to 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi
Sure it is still four years away, but it appears another shot has been fired across the bow of the NHL as concerns the Sochi Olympics. Is it just coincidence that the newly named ambassador is beloved friend and former teammate of not only the most popular hockey player on earth but also the most vocal critic of a ban on NHL player participation in Sochi? h/t Sovietsky Sport
Moscow- 1 November- RIA Novosti. Well-known Russian hockey player, 3-time World Champion and 3-time Stanley Cup winner Sergei Fedorov has been named as the next ambassador to the 2014 Winter Olympic games in Sochi.
At a press conference on Sunday, ‘Sochi-2014’ organizational committee member Igor Stolyarov presented Fedorov with his credentials as ambassador to the games.
‘A great many sportsman have been previous ambassadors—Alexander Ovechkin, figure skaters Oksana Domina and Maksim Shabalin, bobsledder Alexander Zubkov and others. Sergei personifies not only the skills of a Sportsman with a capital ‘S’, but Olympic values as well. It means a great deal that he is still playing, and his North American experience helps his ambassadorial status. It is a great honor for me to name him as ambassador to the games’, said Stolyarov at a press-conference announcing the start of the online game ‘Sochi-Vancouver Rally Raid’.
