We’ve had a wild rollercoaster of a week in Caps Land, and some of us are just now getting a chance to catch our breath. Road game last Saturday, overtime game at home on Sunday afternoon. Some internet woes kept us Web types at the Phone Booth for longer than we’d usually be there after [...]
In the Texas Hold ‘Em parlance, the Caps are all in. By adding goaltender Cristobal Huet, center Sergei Fedorov and checking forward Matt Cooke, the Caps have made a statement: they want to make the playoffs this year.
They’ve also laid out about $2 million in salary for the remainder of the season.
Talks are ongoing, [...]
The Caps have essentially obtained Cristobal Huet for Brian Sutherby.
Back in November, they got Anaheim’s second rounder in 2009 for Sutherby. Today, they flipped that pick to the Habs for veteran goalie Cristobal Huet, who will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1. This trade tells me that the Caps are very serious about [...]
It’s been great to see fewer empty seats at Verizon Center of late (five straight crowds over 17,000) and it was good to see the Caps notch their first sellout of the season yesterday with the Devils in town. Those of us who have lived in these parts for a while knew the fans would [...]
Not sure why Mats Sundin is taking such a beating for refusing to waive his no-trade clause. The reason he has a no-trade clause is because he didn’t want to get moved. Ditto for Sundin’s teammates Tomas Kaberle, Pavel Kubina and Darcy Tucker, all of whom have reportedly said they would not waive their no-trade [...]
Today was a very quiet day at the Caps’ Kettler Capitals Iceplex headquarters. Practice was optional, and only defenseman Steve Eminger exercised his option to practice. Us media folk were given plenty to chew on though, as both general manager George McPhee and head coach Bruce Boudreau held court for lengthy periods and discussed a [...]
The Caps announced today that they have reassigned defenseman Sami Lepisto and right wing Eric Fehr to Hershey of the AHL. Expect to see both back here in the District in the future.
Hershey is a few days away from setting out on a nine-game road trip, and these moves will help bolster the Bears for [...]
The Capitals finished off their mentors trip in fine fashion on Saturday night in Tampa Bay, downing the Lightning 3-2. The win was Washington’s 28th of the season, matching the team’s total from the 2006-07 season. Sixteen very happy dads came down to the visitors’ locker room after the game and had a group photo [...]
Good to see that former Caps bench boss Glen Hanlon will be back behind a bench soon. Glen has a good hockey mind and more importantly, he is a good man. I wish him the best success in Jokerit next season and beyond.
Here in South Florida, the Caps are preparing to take the ice for [...]
