A Name No Longer Mentioned

24 September, 2008

One player’s name certainly is emerging from training camp’s first week — by virtue of its omission. That of Olaf Kolzig. You don’t hear it mentioned among the press, by fans in the Kettler stands, certainly not by Capitals’ players or coaches. Everybody seems to have moved on from the April agony and the summer [...]

Open File: Duchesne Cup Championship

23 September, 2008

It's Getting Dazzling in the Competition for the Duchesne Cup

22 September, 2008

This Gaetan Duchesne Cup competition, I’m starting to really dig it; I think the Caps may well wanna keep it around a while. Sunday’s first scrimmage was entertaining and good fun, but Monday’s, which featured Alexander Ovechkin in a competitive environment for the first time in the 2008 camp, was on a whole ‘nother level [...]
