What’s a Development Camp All About Anyway?

20 July, 2010

It was fun and amusing for me over the past 10 days to survey various message boards and Tweets for hard and fast assessments of Capitals’ prospects participating in the team’s development camp. Also, newspaper accounts themed in kind. Blogs, not so much. A few observers seemed to have it about right with respect to [...]

Best of the Blogs from Development Camp

19 July, 2010

Washington’s hockey bloggers, new and established, delivered some fantastic coverage of the just completed Capitals’ Development Camp. Here are some of our favorite files, with a last word from our new favorite blogger, Big Joe Finley. Rock The Red was able to generate interviews with campers Andy Miele, Braden Holtby, Joe Finley, Samuel Carrier, and [...]

The Finley Files: In the Heat and Heart of the U.S. Capitol

17 July, 2010

Day 6: I skated in the first practice of the day where we focused on offensive zone faceoff forechecking, power play, and penalty kill. Having everyone on the same page for tomorrow’s scrimmage should tighten things up for us and allow us to convert on the man advantage. We split up into two groups at [...]

The Finley Files: I’m a Tall Target in Paintball

16 July, 2010

Day 5: Today started with a 9 a.m. scrimmage at Kettler, which I believe is the earliest I have ever played since a Pee-Wee tournament back in Edina, Minn. Whatever the case the game went on. I think most of the guys would say the first period was a solid wake up call, and the [...]

Gabby: Fights, in Moderation, Are a Part Even of Development Camps

15 July, 2010

Joe Finley’s slow dance yesterday with Anthony Pisano prompted me to ask Head Coach Bruce Boudreau for his thoughts about fights in a development camp, particularly in light of the news of the Chicago Blackhawks losing a camper this month for four months at the handiwork of their big young thumper, Kyle Beach.

The Finley Files: Testing and Scrimmaging

15 July, 2010

This morning I was the bigger man and didn’t SLAM the door on Bruiser as he did the day before on me. I made quick work of a Denver Omlette, fruit with yogurt and a bagel, and headed to the rink for on-ice testing. On ice we were run through four different tests (S-test, top [...]

The Finley Files: A Progress Report

15 July, 2010

Joe Finley has had an eventful development camp and his first scrimmage mirrored that. A high scoring, high energy and extremely physical game seems like the kind Joe will play throughout his career. After the scrimmage between white and red Joe sat down with our PucksandBooks to talk about his progress and what it is like to play against his teammates and friends.
