What Rhymes With "Ovechkin"?

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:44:47 +1900

Back in early April, we passed along word of local rapper WALE giving a shout-out to Alex Ovechkin on his track "Back In The Go Go." A couple of days later, Agent Steinz elaborated and that was that. Until now. I don't pretend to know what this means, but Prefix has word of another Great Eight appearance in the world of rap lyrics:"Hip-hop’s next big thing, Asher Roth, has joined in on the

Hurricane Huet

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:36:54 +1900

With the news that the Caps will be playing the Blackhawks in the season home opener, it figures that the next potential hurricane could be churning it up in the Atlantic soon. And the name of that storm? Just think of a recently departed goalie whose time in Washington was a brief tumultuous whirlwind, not unlike a hurricane. Oh, if only he went to Carolina, the irony would be complete.

Happy Belated Birthday... To Us

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 17:51:18 +1900

With all the excitement around the end of Development Camp, it seems that we missed our own birthday. On Saturday, The Rink turned three-years-old, which is 21 in dog years (and an absolute eternity in Internet years), so finally we can have our first sip of alcohol in celebration. This is the post in the comments to which you all now thank us for our tireless efforts and perform other acts of

Where Have All The Dicks Gone?

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:47:00 +1900

When Dick Tarnstrom headed back to Sweden earlier this summer to finish up his hockey career in his native Sweden, he left a void not only in the Columbus Blue Jackets power play, but in the NHL itself. You see, Tarnstrom was the League's only Dick. Earlier today, Bugs and Cranks (via Deadspin) lamented the fact that Major League Baseball has been Dick-less for more than a decade:Once upon a

Joe-Zay Thee-O-Dore and Other Stuff

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:13:24 +1900

First things first: For the record, Jose Theodore pronounces his name Joe-Zay Thee-O-Dore. My first impression of the Caps' new goalie is that he's a confident, outgoing guy with a good sense of humor. Here are some of the highlights from his brief interview with reporters this afternoon at KCI. Q: Why Washington? A: They have the best player in the league, first of all. Washington, the last couple of years, I saw them progress...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Ted Leonsis, Capitals fans battle over cheerleaders at home games

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:00:00 +1900

Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis famously said last summer that "the rebuild was over." On the ice, this was true: The Capitals, Hart Trophy winner Alexander Ovechkin and Jack Adams winner Bruce Boudreau won the Southeast Division. Off the ice and in the arena, the team is still building something rather tangible: Atmosphere. During the Capitals' playoff push, fans ...

Ahead, a Promising Harvest on the Farm

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:37:02 +1900

Development camps such as that recently completed by the Capitals have a way of imbuing DraftGeeks and even the more balanced of hockey fan with horizons of heightened optimism. Always it seems there are a handful of young standouts there, among them compelling stories of no-name collegians or free agents making next-season names for themselves. This July’s camp in Washington was no different. ...

A Thank You Postcard from Development Camp

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 16:23:24 +1900

You could not have known that it was a blogger’s son that enthusiastically waved to you and the others during the Development Camp Scrimmage Pre-Game Warmup. Heck, that little boy doesn’t even know what a blog is … much less that his dad blogs about the Capitals and Alex Ovechkin with “the eight by itself”. He was disappointed at first when I told him he would not see Ovechkin, Green, or Semin ...

Sergei Fedorov Sued for $2M

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:30:00 +1900

If Sergei Fedorov was feeling good after signing his new $4M deal with the Washington Capitals, those feelings have disappeared faster than Botox in Hollywood. It seems that Sergei has been a bad boy with his finances, and is now being sued for failing to pay back some hefty loans he took out. From the Washington Post: Sergei Fedorov is being sued by a Michigan bank that says the Washington ...

Capitals rookie carries Snoop Dogg's fake mustache with him

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:32:00 +1900

The first time I met Karl Alzner was at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, and you could tell the kid was something different. The Washington Capitals drafted the defenseman No. 5 overall, and the moment he stepped on stage he told team officials that he was digging the "old school" new uniforms. Back in the interview scrum, Alzner talked openly about wearing an undershirt to soak up his ...

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 20:51:11 +1900

Washington made the biggest capital gain possible on Wednesday, acquiring perennial NHL scoring champion Jaromir Jagr from the Pittsburgh Penguins. The trade sends Jagr and Frantisek Kucera to the Capitals for a package of top-flight prospects -- Kris Beech, Ross Lupaschuk, Michal Sivek and future considerations.
