Fans of both the Washington Capitals and Hershey Bears received more good news this week: Bears' Senior Manager of Communications and radio play-by-play voice John Walton debuted his blog yesterday: Walton, Wired and Unwired.

Walton's game calls rank among the best in all the business, and his access to the Bears -- "I go everywhere the team goes," he wrote yesterday -- means that Capitals' hockey fans looking for the inside scoop down on the farm can visit Walton, Wired and Unwired and gain even greater insight from a true insider.

We've specifically told Walton to consider adding snippets of his Bears' broadcast work to the blog, and file no. 1 should be his call of Eric Fehr's Eastern Conference clincher in game 7 sudden death the spring before last.

Welcome to the hockey blogosphere, John!
