Welcome!

Welcome to Caps 'Round the Clock, a blog covering the Washington Capitals and the NHL. In season, I update the Blog after every practice and on game day with Caps news and information, and then provide a recap and analysis after each contest. I also write a periodical Prospect Watch and weekly feature pieces on the state of the Men in Red and other things Capitals. And of course, I will post videos and tidbits from around the League and offer my two cents as the season wears on. In the offseason, I write a Report Card for each player, and will keep you updated on all the news about the Caps through the summer. I'm glad you're here, and hope you come back!

Practice: Feb. 19

The Capitals were back on the ice for practice today in upstate New York after taking yesterday off for travel.  Some updates from a place so remote that Caps beat writer Katie Carrera is having a hard time getting a cell phone signal:

All of the forwards who are on the trip skated, including Eric Fehr, although he returned to wearing a gold no-contact jersey as he recovers from a shoulder injury.  The lines remained the same as they were on Thursday night: Knuble-Backstrom-Ovechkin, Semin-Johansson-Laich, Chimera-Perreault-Hendricks, and Steckel-Gordon-Bradley.  DJ King also took reps with the fourth line.

Mike Green participated fully in practice, which is a great sign in and of itself but also the fact that he made it through the cross-country flight without incident; flying can sometimes cause a recurrence of concussion symptoms.  There is no word on his expected availability for tomorrow afternoon's contest with the Sabres.

That's all for now.  More if it becomes available.
