Capitals send a strong message to Holtby
When the Capitals began their search for a free-agent goaltender to back up Braden Holtby, they had several factors to consider.
Should they go with an established veteran like Tomas Vokoun, who had familiarity with the Capitals as a former player and with their new coaching staff, for whom he had played in Nashville?
Should they sign a future Hall of Famer like Martin Brodeur...

Opponent’s scouting report: Braden Holtby
As luck would have it, the Rangers drew the Caps in the second round and they were the only team in the Eastern Conference that didn’t get a goalie scouting report prior to the start of the second season. Luckier still, at the time I was previewing the potential goaltending matchups the Rangers might run into, Braden Holtby was the third option in goal for the Caps, and not even...

The Washington Capitals advance — much to everyone’s surprise
How do you spell relief? D-E-F-E–N-S-E. The Washington Capitals showed their non-believers that tough-minded defensive hockey, coupled with taking the punishment associated with hanging out in front of the net can and will win hockey games.

Holtby looks human in Caps' Game 3 loss
It was one of the rare shots Braden Holtby saw clearly Monday night.
A snap shot by Boston Bruins forward Rich Peverley that bounded off the rookie Washington Capitals goalie's glove and dribbled into the net 35 seconds into the second period. Gone was the Caps' first lead of the night -- and at least some of Holtby's aura.
"That first goal, I should have had,...
