No, not Dale Hunter . . . Tim
Hunter and Rob Zettler have been sucked into The
Great Toronto Void, a.k.a. Leafs Nation, as assistant coaches. Zettler patrolled the Washington blue line from 1999-2002 (with a couple stints in Portland). Hunter was the Capitals’ assistant coach for 5 years, including the team’s run to the Stanley Cup in 1998.

John Stevens, head coach of the Flyers, was
snubbed by the NHL when they gave Bruce Boudreau
of the Washington Capitals the Jack Adams Award for Coach of the Year, but he was rewarded today by a well-respected hockey media source: The Hockey News. Stevens, who took the Flyers from the worst team in the NHL to the Eastern Conference Finals was recognized by the Hockey News as....

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 ...
The Washington Capitals will face the Chicago Blackhawks
in their home opener at 7 p.m. on Oct.
11 at Verizon Center, one day after opening the season at Atlanta, the NHL announced today. The league also announced the Capitals will play two games each against Western Conference opponents Columbus, Los Angeles and Nashville during the season.
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.

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. ...
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”.

a one year deal. Tarik El-Bashir is reporting the
deal is worth $725,000. That leaves Shaone Morrisonn as the final player to sign. Morrisonn has filed for arbitration and the hearing has been set for July 24th.
