Pothier Skating at Kettler
OFB reader vanzabdan emailed this photo of Brian Pothier from Kettler yesterday: "I was pleasantly surprised Saturday morning, as I sat with my 3 year old watching the
injured Caps skate, to see Brian skating with the
boys. Best wishes on his recovery and whatever he decides to do."

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. Obviously, there's something special about Brian Pothier, and...

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. And yet Bruce Boudreau initially sort of rolled his eyes when asked about Ovechkin and the captaincy, saying that the media were making too big a deal about this whole thing. Brian Pothier was asked the same question...

One Blogger's Wish for a Brian Pothier Scoring Leap into the Glass Tonight
If you followed my trip up to Hershey yesterday, you know that I was disappointed not to get a chance to put a few questions to Brian Pothier but thrilled to learn that he's resuming his NHL career this week. But if I'm not asking the questions, I'd have Mike Vogel do so, and on 'Capitals 365' Vogs, in typical form, rises to the occasion, chatting with Pothier...

Pothier hopes to be part of something special
Brian Pothier had to wonder: what would it be like?
Pothier was playing for the Washington Capitals, one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup. In the blink of an eye, a trade was made and the defenseman was in the Canes' dressing room Thursday, with a team that's a long shot to reach the playoffs.
But the transition was seamless, it seems. Pothier hopped on the ice...

Taking Stock of the Post-Deadline Capitals
This may seem an empty platitude, but it resonates more and more as a season progresses: Teams need to learn how to win the close games. There aren't going to be many 5-1 or 6-2 blowouts in the playoffs; teams that makes it into the second season have all the motivation they need to play with fire and determination.
So it's encouraging that the past 4 Capitals games have...

TORONTO | Brian Pothier jammed at the loose puck, and it squirted through the goaltender's legs - a couple of inches to his right and Pothier would have been the hero Saturday night at Air Canada Centre. Instead the puck slid into the right goal post and not into the net, and the Toronto Maple Leafs were able to eventually escape with a 2-1 shootout victory. Yes, Pothier would...
