For John Carlson, It's Been a Season To Remember
This past weekend in Hershey, I sat near and among pro scouts from the Caps, the Bruins, the Flyers, the Senators, and the Avalanche, and while a press box full of scouts rarely views any individual hockey player with unanimity of assessment, when it comes to John Carlson, I learned, they do. Early on in Saturday night's game one in the AHL's Eastern conference finals a scout...

Michal Neuvirth had 35 saves.Caps' 2008 first-round pick John Carlson made his pro hockey debut for the organization, and he impressed.

Stupid Snub

My Final Word On Mays (For Now)
I posted this in the comments section in the last Mays post, but I thought that since the subject has stirred up so much controversy, I should bring it up to the main page.
