A Little Pre-Camp Action

10 September, 2008

Unofficial OFB photographer Chanuck was at Kettler today to satisfy his hockey needs. He wasn’t disappointed: it was blues vs. whites in an informal scrimmage (blue won). Many of the team’s veterans were on the ice, as well as newcomer Jose Theodore and rookie Karl Alzner. Chanuck noted that one of the [...]

The Caps' Newest Russian: "When Washington selected me at the draft I think I jumped to the ceiling at home being so happy"

1 August, 2008

With the ever intrepid assistance of our SovetskySport friend Dmitry Chesnokov, we were able to deliver some questions to the newest Russian in the Capitals’ organization, right wing prospect Dmitri Kugryshev. Drafted by the Capitals with the 58th overall pick in this past June’s Entry Draft, Kugryshev will join the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec [...]

From Thrifty to Opulent in Three Seasons

28 July, 2008

Here’s how cheap owner Ted Leonsis is right now: He’s got a $60 million hockey team here in town. The salary cap for next season has been set at $56 million, but there’s no penalty for being over the cap by 10 percent in the summer so long as a team is under it a [...]

10 July, 2008

Let the Roaming of a Fierce Gang (Green) on Washington's Streets Commence

3 July, 2008

Just how important was Mike Green’s signing this week? Nearly as important as Alexander Ovechkin’s back in January.
Green isn’t just the Capitals’ no. 1 gun from the point — the slick-passing, even slicker skating, indispensable-in-the-new NHL engine from the back end.¬†He’s their Mohawked Mojo, their Titan of ‘Tude, the galvazer of Gang Green. He is [...]

A Second Act in D.C. for Sergei Fedorov? Let's Hope So

30 May, 2008

Likely Sergei Fedorov, in the initial hours and days after arriving in Washington late this past February, thinking ahead then to what was almost certainly his final game as a Capital on April 5, gave some thought to returning home to his native Russia and signing one last lucrative pro contract before hanging them up [...]
