And we’ll probably offer up a roundup of Top Tweets each week. This week was filled with talk of Ovi’s hit and style of play, the Philadelphia massacre, some vague indiscretion [...]

Lost in Transition: Old Media Remains Three Strides Behind Dmitry Chesnokov

12 November, 2008

Once again we are indebted to Dmitry Chesnokov for bringing us news the mainstream media couldn’t.

More Red Lamp-Lighting from Russia

11 September, 2008

Back in June, we had a chance to ask Capitals’ General Manager George McPhee about progress and success the organization has enjoyed with the Entry Draft.
