Wednesday Roundup: We're #29!
Uncork the bubbly - Sports Illustrated has picked the Caps to finish 29th. SI's worst team in the NHL? The Rangers.

Friday Roundup/Gamenight: Caps @ Lightning

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

NHL 07 Nabs Caps 08
As Eric over at OffWing reports, Alex Ovechkin will grace the cover of EA Sports' NHL07 (screen shots and video available here). Of course my first thought was of the Madden Curse, so I immediately went to see how previous NHL title cover players have done in their cover year (EA has generally...
Ovechkin: On Pace For 1,122 Goals
Ever wonder how many goals Alex Ovechkin will have scored by the time he hangs up his skates and is frozen in carbonite to be displayed for eternity at the National Hockey League Hall of Fame (Brought To You By Carl's Junior) in Honolulu, Hawaii? Me too.Assuming that he continues at his current...
