  • The Lockout officially ended last night after the players signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the League... [WashTimes]
  • ... which was followed by the NHL finally releasing its 2013 schedule. [Japers' Rink, Dump 'n Chase, Puck Daddy, WaPo, WashTimes, DCEx, NBC4, WTOP, RMNB, Sick Unbelievable, Puckhead]
  • Oh, and welcome to Fan Appreciation Week (which does, in fact, include free nachos). [Capitals]
  • With the freeze on transactions over, the Caps are expected to bring Eric Fehr back into the fold, assuming F16 is cleared for takeoff. [Japers' Rink, WaPo, WashTimes, CSNW]
  • Alright, this is cool enough to get its own bullet - Fehr's HPK fans bid adieu. [YouTube (and because I had to GIF it... this)]
  • I'm not sure about his line combos, but let's not bury the lede - Bob McKenzie is reporting that Brooks Laich will miss the first week or two of the season. [@TSNBobMcKenzie]

  • And how about another ten? [gofivehole]
