Save The Red Line
Picture it: late in a tie game, the the puck rolls into the corner to Olie Kolzig's left. Two skaters from each side converge on the biscuit, kicking and poking at it while fighting each other off with elbows and backsides. Suddenly the puck squirts loose and Josef Boumedienne emerges with it. At...
Ovechkin Has Chosen... Wisely
Alexander Ovechkin has exercised his option to void his contract for this season with Omsk of the Russian Super League, meaning that little stands between him and signing with the Caps. It was reported first by TSN.ca here, then soon thereafter on the Caps' official site here, by the WaPo here, and...
Caps Under Contract, Restricteds And Unrestricteds
OK, so who's still a Cap? Olie Kolzig? Yes (for now - buyout rumors are everywhere, though I tend to doubt them). Peter Bondra? No. Jason Doig? Maybe. Bobby Carpenter? Hell, he could be. Here's the list from the Caps site.But here's the list of most of the team's current status. As of right now,...
Sunday's Rumors
Today's rumors start off close to home, so let's have at 'em: The Caps will not be buying out Olie Kolzig and plan to bring back veterans Dainius Zubrus, Jeff Halpern and Brendan Witt. Owner Ted Leonsis also expects to spend some money on blueliners, but don't expect the free-spending Leonsis of...
Caps Hoping Patience Will Pay Off

Who Will Be In Uniform Opening Night?
OK, that's my last extended absence for a while. What did I miss (that you probably didn't)? Well, the Caps have added a few warm bodies (still more here), but could be on the verge of losing more important players, as Brendan Witt wants to be traded for a chance to win a Cup (and the Caps...

Ted Leonsis chatted over at WashingtonPost.com early this afternoon. Some highlights (ok, a highlight - one wonders how many tough questions got nixed):Potomac, Md.: I'm a big Caps fan and am excited to see the Caps and the NHL back on the ice again. One thing i was looking forward to was seeing...
Zubrus Signs, Caps Add Bradley, Re-Sign Fortin
The Caps have re-signed versatile forward Dainius Zubrus to a two-year contract and signed free agent winger Matt Bradley, most recently of Pittsburgh, as well as defenseman J.F. Fortin.
The Washington Times Is A Better Newspaper Than The Washington Post
There, I said it. I had to turn off the "liberal lock" on my keyboard and cringed at typing it, but insofar as their coverage of the Capitals (and sports generally), the Washington Times is far superior to its crosstown rival. Today's articles are a perfect example. Let's compare.Both papers note...
Alexander The Great: First Impressions
The Capitals may stink out loud this year (may?), but as long as Alexander Ovechkin is on the ice, they'll be worth watching. After one pre-training camp skate, the first reviews are in:"He's the most talented player I've ever faced." - Olie Kolzig"Wow!" - Brian Willsie"As good of a player as he...
