Pothier may not fit in blue line plans
Speaking of tea leaves ...

Pothier, Boudreau on Ovechkin's captaincy
Since Alex Ovechkin became the Caps' captain, his team has gone 14-1. In 13 of those games, the Caps have scored at least four goals. They're sort of doing ok.

Brian Pothier was asked the same question...

Brian Pothier's Return To Glory
For much of this hockey season Caps' defenseman Brian Pothier sat quite near what's known as the "Blogger's Ghetto" in the Verizon Center press box. I never once approached him to ask any questions about his health and hockey hopes -- to be blunt, the answers seemed too apparent and pessimistic.
