The Times Pays Tribute to the Capitals’ ‘Bloggers’ Nation’
Washington Times’ sports business reporter Tim Lemke spent a number of weeks interviewing a number of the region’s hockey bloggers, his interest piqued by their prevalence in the Verizon Center press box for Caps’ games. “No team in professional sports offers as much unfettered access to bloggers as the Caps,” Lemke writes in this morning’s Times.

Ovechkin: “I Go Through Two Pairs of Gloves a Period”
Once upon a time, the heart of the uniform system madness-fiasco perpetrated by Reebok was the absence on the part of the manufacturer of any sense that hockey, with its sweater, had always had a novel connection between player and fan. By that I mean, those colors arranged in a particular style, and housed in an Everyman’s comfort, were a novelty in all of sport, and cherished by generations ...

 Steve Czaban Steps in It
Steve Czaban Steps in It
Howard Stern did at least one commendable thing for his culture: every day he reminded us that radio is the lowest form of all media. In D.C., we needn’t have had Stern to point this out; not when we have WTEM’s Steve Czaban.

Leonsis on Bloggers: “They’ve Become a Legitimate Media Outlet”
(c) OnFrozenBlog - http://www.onfrozenblog.com/ - When it comes to new media and its coverage of the NHL, Ted Leonsis is both visionary and trailblazer, and so it should come as no surprise that his thinking on the matter is anything but static. When ...

 When the Best Ice in Chinatown Is in Clyde’s Cocktails
When the Best Ice in Chinatown Is in Clyde’s Cocktails
Our heroes’ home playing surface is back in the news. Of Saturday night’s Phone Booth sheet, our good friend JP put it this way: “One could pour 4,000 Slurpees across an elementary school blacktop and it would probably provide as good a playing surface as the one at Verizon Center last night thanks to an afternoon Hoyas game.” The home team’s owner placed the Slurpee pump on idle on Monday, ...

More Dark Clouds
Igor Arkhipov, an Atlanta-based correspondent for SovetskySport, met up with Alexander Ovechkin after last night’s game. He asked about the left winger’s future. This exchange will run in the Russian newspaper tomorrow: Do you plan on changing teams at the end of the season? Washington’s game looks hopeless.

 Rinkside View
Rinkside View
Something very cool is happening at the Honda Center in Aneheim. The FSN West feed on NHL Center Ice is showing the LA Kings / Anaheim Ducks game. That’s normal. What isn’t is that there are no announcers. Just the sounds of the game and the crowd. Oh, and all the camera angles are from ice level with what they call “Rinkside View.”

 Hot Hockey Moms
Hot Hockey Moms
By DC Sports Chick / I’m not one for cheesecake, especially of the female persuasion, so I can’t decide if this contest to decide Manitoba’s Hottest Hockey Mom is cool or creepy. Either way, I’m impressed that this woman had four kids and looks this good.

 So Hockey Got Asked Out on a Date This Week
So Hockey Got Asked Out on a Date This Week
Something momentous and stupendous happened to hockey on Tuesday. By late Wednesday afternoon I was aware of an unusual mainstream media preoccupation forming a phenomenon: they were, rather uniformly, rather nationally, saying nice things about our sport. Really nice things. Then came Wednesday’s 5:00 hour on ESPN.

 Bloggers, Readers, and Pro Hockey Teams Banding Together for Wilson High
Bloggers, Readers, and Pro Hockey Teams Banding Together for Wilson High
We hinted at wanting to do something for the District’s Wilson High School hockey team when we learned about their extraordinary story last month. To sum up: Wilson is the District’s only public high school with a varsity hockey team. It was, until last year, guided by an impassioned trailblazer, Paul McKenzie — the type of coach who changes lives and improves his community.

 Prospects, Like Fine Red Wine, Take Time
Prospects, Like Fine Red Wine, Take Time
We’re in this interim between the draft and the Capitals’ July Development Camp (mercifully, a period lasting little more than two weeks), and with the arrival in town soon of so many recently drafted prospects, it seems an appropriate time to map out what I regard as a fair and accurate timetable for hockey fans to await the arrival of promising youth to the parent club.

 If the Caps Were To Pursue a Third Sweater . . .
If the Caps Were To Pursue a Third Sweater . . .
There’s been a good deal of online chatter this week regarding third sweaters. Eighteen NHL teams will introduce alternate jerseys this season, according to the Fan590’s Howard Berger. Icethetics and Puck Daddy have been monitoring the fashion situation as well. So we put the question to the Caps: Any chance a third sweater is in the near future? The answer is no. At least not this season.

Wearing the Nation's Colors Next February 22
On Sunday, February 22, 2009, the Capitals matinee-host the Pittsburgh Penguins at Verizon Center. That day will commemorate the 29th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice, the greatest day in the history of hockey and the greatest day in the history of sports. Summertime question for you: what do you think of the idea of the Caps doing something radically different with their sweaters that day —
