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: Mar. 5

The Washington Capitals were on ice Monday for a practice following another depressing loss Sunday evening against the Flyers.  Some updates from Kettler Capitals Iceplex:

Tomas Vokoun returned to the ice after missing the last two practices and one game (sitting on the bench, at least) because of a lower-body injury.  He skated for about 20 minutes in full pads before practice began and then took part in the session.  He was joined by both Michal Neuvirth and Braden Holtby, who was recalled Sunday.  At 2 PM, Chuck Gormley of CSN Washington reported that Holtby was headed back to Hershey, which is obviously good news regarding Vokoun's health.
The lines were as follows: Ovechkin-Laich-Johansson, Chimera-Perreault-Semin, Hendricks-Beagle-Brouwer, and Kunble-Aucoin-Halpern-Ward.  All eight defenseman were on ice.  In addition, it was revealed that Nicklas Backstrom is in Sweden to spend time with his family, as he has been for almost a week.  He is not expected back until Sunday as he attempts to recover from a concussion.


That's all for now.  As always, follow me on Twitter here for news and updates.
