Caps Penguins 12:30 PM Super Bowl Sunday

Couple oddities...

They play at Winnipeg two nights in a row.

Also play the Devils at home twice in three nights.

Doesn't quite rival the time we played the Hurricanes three times in a row, but close.

We'll probably see some real bad blood (inter-conference) develop over the course of this season. NEW rivalries will form.

It sucks that there are no weekend games against @Carolina. I was hoping for an easy trip to see the Caps locally. I guess I'll just have to leave work early to get to the weeknight games.

Haha, yeah that was the first thing I looked for as well. Looks like I will be taking the day off after that Thursday game.

Found this on ESPN Rumors Page. A little insight on the deal he could sign.

Fehr's new (old) gig
3:45
PM ET
Washington Capitals
RECOMMEND0COMMENTS0EMAIL

Forward Eric Fehr won't be an unrestricted free agent for much longer.

According to Katie Carrera of the Washington Post, the 27-year-old winger is about to re-join the team that drafted him.

"... The Washington Capitals have invited Fehr to training camp with the intention of signing him to a prorated one-year, $600,000 contract once he passes a physical, according to a team source. The move cannot be made until the NHL lockout officially ends with both sides signing a memorandum of understanding, which is expected to occur Saturday ..."

After six seasons in Washington, the Capitals dealt Fehr to the Winnipeg Jets in summer 2011. The former WHL star enjoyed a fairly productive work stoppage -- collecting 25 points in 21 games with Finnish squad Hameenlinnan Pallokerho (SM-Liiga).

I think Fehr is a pretty good signing. He's a great locker room guy and can fill in on the 2nd line while Laich is sidelined to start the season.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Fehr can play the top two lines if needed.

I always liked him and with the lack of secondary scoring last season, I think he's due for a big year.

And like I said earlier, I am a huge Woljtek Wolski fan for some reason lol

I think Fehr is due for a big year every year LOL. At this point, he is what he is. I see him getting scratched w/ regularity.

[Pick6]

So from what I have read it looks like Brooks Laich will miss 1 to 2 weeks of the start of the season.

[SpringfieldSkins]

I'm excited for hockey to start back up.

I for one, think that Ovechkin will be in great shape.

DC sports can't ever have everyone healthy huh? lol

[OU_skins]

Anyone know if the scrimage tomorrow vs the ECHL team will be a full 3 period game with referees and everything?

[Gallen5862]

What does anyone think of the Carolina Hurricanes? I think the Hurricanes improved alot between getting Jordan Staal plus their trades on the first day of training camp.

A busy first day for the Carolina Hurricanes


RALEIGH -- Talk about having a busy first day.
The Carolina Hurricanes packed a lot into Sunday. They made an early trade, sending goalie Brian Boucher and defensive prospect Mark Alt to the Philadelphia Flyers for forward Luke Pither. They signed goalie Dan Ellis to a one-year contract. They dealt forward Anthony Stewart to the Los Angeles Kings for forward Kevin Westgarth.
Westgarth, the son-in-law of former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher, lives in Raleigh in the offseason. He’s a big guy at 6-4 and 234 pounds who should give the Canes that added grit in the lineup that general manager Jim Rutherford has been seeking.

Also, Ovechkin has been prescribing on right Wong from what I hear. This seems rather interesting.
