Notes and assorted whatnot from yesterday out at Kettler:

In general. [Capitals Report (audio), Caps365 video (Hunter, Kolzig, Ovechkin), WaPo, WashTimes, 106.7 The Fan, CRtC]
The power play and penalty killing units got a lot of attention. [DCEx]
Associate goaltending coach Olie Kolzig was in-house to work with Michal Neuvirth. [CSNW (video)]
Mike Knuble had a green practice jersey and Brooks Laich and Matt Hendricks for linemates. [WaPo, WashTimes, CSNW (and again), PHT]
Oh hai there happy Mike Green, on-ice for the full team practice for the first time in forever ... [WaPo, WashTimes]
... but it was Kolzig who attracted the most attention with his post-practice remarks:
- On Dale Hunter. [WashTimes, WaPo]
- On Neuvy. [DCEx]
- On Alex Ovechkin. [WaPo, WashTimes, DCEx, CSNW, SBNation DC, Eye On Hockey, PHT]

Rubber, meet road. [Dump 'n' Chase]

Margin call. [WaPo]

On wants and needs as the trade deadline nears. [National Post, BrooksLaichYear]

Goalie mismanagement is costing the Caps. [WashTimes, KOL]

So is Mike Knuble mismanagement. [Homer McFanboy]

A franchise in disarray. [DSP, and again]

Our misery is their trending topic. So very true. [RMNB]

But if you look carefully, there's reason for optimism ... [OFB, Sick Unbelievable]

... which is probably the best point to mention that season ticket prices are going up next season. [WashTimes]

Finally, happy 36th birthday to Colin Forbes and happy 58th to Paul Nicholson.
