Deep-in-a-Draft Gem

23 February, 2008

Here’s tidy work by a sixth-round draft pick: leading a development league in scoring. That’s what Caps’ prospect Mathieu Perreault is doing these days with Acadie Bathurst in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. All he did last season was win the Q’s MVP award. And another Caps’ prospect in the Q, Francois Bouchard, isn’t [...]

Leafs TV? How About Caps' TV?

2 October, 2007

Apprised of Comcast’s commitment to the Caps this week, I turned on Comcast SportsNet the moment I arrived home from work Monday night, and left it there. What I watched over the next four hours stunned me. I saw new Comcast Caps’ beat reporter Lisa Hillary studio host a season preview alongside Joe Reekie. I [...]

15 July, 2007

Saturday’s concluding scrimmage to Rookie Camp 2007 drew far and away the largest Kettler crowd of the week, and the faithful were rewarded with the week’s most entertaining outing.

Extra Duty on a Summer Friday Night

14 July, 2007

Friday night’s scrimmage went a bit off script: the coaches decided to incorporate specialty teams play midway through both periods, with the teams alternating manpower advantages for the balance of the back half of the stanzas. There was also this pleasant surprise: sudden death overtime play. In the second 5-minute OT session Nicklas Backstrom swept [...]

Rookie Camp 2007: Passing Out Deli Numbers to the Pro Prospects

13 July, 2007

Halfway through the Capitals’ 2007 Rookie Camp, I have this general observation: there are bushels full of authentically professional hockey players skating out at Kettler Capitals this week. And the overwhelming majority of them are going to return this fall to their junior, collegiate, or minor pro clubs for additonal ripening. But shift after shift [...]

July's Much-Needed Hockey Fix

6 July, 2007

Boz penned a persuasive piece on the great value offered up by Tiger Woods and Congressional Country Club this week. He’s right — $25 admission, and no parking charge, for a full day in the sun on one of the most beautiful pieces of property in the region is a value day very well spent. [...]

The Don't-Forget-About-Us Guys

23 May, 2007

The Nick Backstrom signing is exciting in and of itself, but it also breeds a bit of an anticipatory momentum: in this summer of change, what’s next? And what’s next may arrive sooner than you think, if you’re inclined to believe that the Caps will sit by idly and patiently await July 1′s arrival. I’ll [...]
