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: Jan. 25

The Capitals were on ice this morning at Kettler Iceplex as they prepare for tomorrow night's big game with the Thrashers in Atlanta.  Some personnel updates from the skate:

Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and Marcus Johansson were the only Capitals on the active roster who did not skate today.  Bruce Boudreau confirmed after practice that they were only taking maintenance days, and there are no new injuries to report.  That is, obviously, good news for the Capitals and their fans.

Alexander Semin and Matt Bradley participated fully in practice and may make the trip to Atlanta for tomorrow night's game, but Boudreau was non-commital on their status.

Michal Neuvirth and Tom Poti also skated as they continue to work back from injuries.  They are not expected to make the journey down south, but could return for the Caps' first game after the break.

That's all for now.  Check back later.
