Wednesday Roundup: Postcards From Camp
From down the road in Piney Orchard, the WaPo has a stirring article on how career third- and fourth-liners Ben Clymer, Chris Clark and Matt Bradley jumped at the chance to sign with the Caps because it would present them with "increases in ice-time and responsibility."

Friday Roundup/Flyers 8, Caps 1 Gamenight: Thrashers @ Caps
[Boxscore - Recap]Well, it started out okay.
