The captain of a hockey club obviously leads his teammates on the ice and in the dressing room, but his†influence can extend†outside an organization as well. During this afternoon’s Caps’ conference call to announce Chris Clark’s contract extension, one that will keep him in D.C. through 2010-11, two things were readily†apparent: (1) this captain feels [...]

The Best of the Rest

17 July, 2007

Now that the last echoes of the free agency starting gun have faded, NHL signings have settled down to a more sedate pace. Most hockey transactions of late involved AHLers or depth players. Yet a significant stable of hockey talent remains available. And as we all know, leftovers can still be pretty darned tasty. “[Mike] [...]

The Spirit of the CyberRadio

16 July, 2007

Add to the names of the Revolutionaries Allen Popels, who a few months ago asked the question, “Is it too much to ask that we the hockey loving and Caps’ fans have a broadcast fan forum for 30 or 60 minutes a week?” The Caps of course asked a similar question a few years back [...]

Camp Home Movies

15 July, 2007

Encouraged by the positive reaction to the scrimmage video from day one, I rolled some more tape yesterday during the final scrimmage.
