The Washington Capitals kickoff their 2009 preseason tomorrow against Buffalo. Folks, hockey is back!In case you plan on following as much as you can on Twitter, just make sure you are following a legit account. Tarik from the Washington Post singles out the back to back first round defensemen for the Capitals, Karl Alzner and John Carlson. After the scrimmage, Coach Bruce Boudreau singled out several players for praise: Defensemen Karl Alzner and John Carlson; goalies Neuvirth and Theodore; and forwards Keith Aucoin and Nicklas Backstrom. "Michal Neuvirth was outstanding and so was Theo, actually, if I'm comparing it to one year ago today," Boudreau said. Speaking of defense, Corey Masisak at the Times wrote a story on the imminent logjam in Washington's defense. Masisak writes of the depth not only on the Washington blue line, but within the Captials system, including guys like Alzner, Carlson, Sean Collins, and Tyler Sloan. He lists, and we agree, the lock...

RED ALERT: Caps preseason just 2 days away

Via MVN  |  September 15, 2009
The Washington Capitals 2009/10 season is just two days away from being underway. Ok, not for real, but for fake. The Caps kick off their preseason this Thursday against the Buffalo Sabres. Hockey is almost back, and for some of us who watched the Redskins/Giants game, well, exhale slowly, the Caps are almost back as well. Yesterday we linked to a Chris Bourque article and we...

So Sayeth This Blogger: First Line's Set

Via On Frozen Blog  |  September 17, 2009
If only Jim Zorn had this kind of offense. Coach Boudreau called out his top line of Ovi-Backstrom-Knuble, somewhat, after Tuesday's Duchesne Cup scrimmage, and on Wednesday the trio apparently got wind of the middling review. The line spent much of Wednesday's scrimmage toying with the opposition, playing keep-away with the puck and more or less humiliating a largely undefended...

The reeducation of Mike Green, celebrity and defenseman

As a fan of "Cribs," MTV's chronicle of lifestyles of the gluttonous and varying-degrees-of-famous, Washington Capitals defenseman Mike Green(notes) jumped at the chance to have his luxury condo documented on video -- even if he chose not to indulge in the show's legendary clichés.Did he stock the fridge with bottles of Cristal?

A Shootout Determines Duchesne Cup Scrimmage 2

Via On Frozen Blog  |  September 16, 2009
Tuesday brought us "A" vs. "C" in the Duchesne Cup competition, and the first training camp scrimmage appearance by Alexander Ovechkin. He didn't take long to make his mark, scoring the game's first goal in the opening minutes on a deflection that fluttered over Jason Bacashihua's left shoulder like a changeup. In what may well have been foreshadowing of opening night in Beantown...

Sabres Open Preseason Schedule with “fun”

The Sabres are hoping that the third time is the charm.  Entering into the third season with the same roster, the Sabres will test that theory out tonight against the Washington Capitals.  Now a win or a loss tonight means very little in the grand scheme of things.  Its not even 1 out of 82 games [...]

To stay around, Alzner needs to 'wow' Caps

Via Washington Times  |  September 17, 2009
For Karl Alzner to take the next step in his development - from hyped prospect to established NHL player - he may have to resort to tactics he isn't used to. Alzner was the fifth overall pick in the 2007 draft, possesses a decorated amateur resume and saw action in 30 games for the Washington Capitals before his 21st birthday despite playing a role (defensive defenseman) that...

Neuvirth and underdog status

The Hockey News published a story today on the training camp under dogs. Listed among those is Michal Neuvirth.
