Top of the Tweet for the Week of December 5

6 December, 2009

We thought it might be fun and interesting to highlight Top Tweets from the Captials’ Twitter community we came across during the past week.

The Importance of Being a January Baby

30 September, 2008

Chris Bourque, Mathieu Perreault, and John Carlson all enjoyed standout training camps with the Washington Capitals this month. Bourque is still enjoying his. To slightly varying degrees, all three enjoyed prodigy player status early on in their hockey careers. On a hunch, I checked their respective birth dates. All three share the birth month of [...]

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 [...]

Ahead, a Promising Harvest on the Farm

15 July, 2008

Development camps such as that recently completed by the Capitals have a way of imbuing DraftGeeks and even the more balanced of hockey fan with horizons of heightened optimism.
