Hey, look! It's a first line center with a second line center. Unrestricted free agent Mike Ribeiro, who will probably not be returning to the Capitals due to the fact that he proved he's worth more than what's in the budget, posed for a photo with NHL legend Wayne Gretzky. This photo was taken at a hotel Resto, a place where rich people stay.

For now, it’s a rumor, but Sergei Fedorov *could* lace up his skates for CSKA Moscow one last time

Capital fans, PLEASE take off your friggin’ rose-tinted glasses and LOOK at what you’re dealing with here.
Cap fans, PLEASE take off your friggin’ rose-tinted glasses and LOOK at what you’re dealing with here. As I’ve said elsewhere, George McPhee is one of the stupidest GM’s in sports. He makes some mystifyingly dumb personnel decisions–the latest one involved surrendering a talented, 21 year old forward with size (Phillip Forsberg) for a 31 year old retread who hadn’t scored...
Will the Washington Capitals Ever Win a Stanley Cup?
Capital Disappointment Photo via DC Sports Bog The question has to be asked. As a life long Washington Capitals fan, I have to say this team frustrates me as much or more than my beloved Washington Redskins. The Washington Capitals always seem to be a regular season team that just can not win in the playoffs. For thirty years the Caps have always failed to live up to expectations...

Tom Wilson loses skate blade, crawls to bench
If it weren’t for those ill-fated contests at intermission that invite fans down onto the ice for this or that, we’d likely forget just how slippery an everyday rink is. Capitals right wing Tom Wilson found out the hard way Sunday when he was suddenly stuck with just one blade to try to work himself around the ice. Wilson had just laid a hit when the blade of his left skate popped...

Capitals defenseman blocks shot with his face
Washington Capitals defenseman Steven Oleksy took a puck to the face when he went down on a knee to block a shot by New York Rangers center Derick Brassard during Thursday night's Game 1 of their NHL Eastern Conference playoff series at the Verizon Center.
