Check out this article in today’s Washington Post (yes, in the print edition) about Michael Nylander. Nice to hear that Bethesda, where half of OFB calls home, played a part in the Nylander family’s decision to return to the Capitals.
In addition, the Washington Times has a profile of Jeff Schultz and his efforts to stick with the club this year. Though competition for a defensive spot will be tight this year — and how long has it been since one could say that about the Capitals? — Schultz’s blueline grit and maturity makes him a strong candidate this year: “A couple of the guys [on the team] try and push me around kind of jokingly, but I’m not afraid to push back.” As Olie Kolzig said of Schultz, “He’s just a steady, smart defenseman out there. He makes a minimal amount of mistakes and plays with a lot of poise.”
