David Clarkson has 26 goals this season. When the heck did that happen?

"From what we've heard, it was a case of the players feeling like it was distracting to them or upsetting to them. That's the last thing we want to do. We're Caps fans. We don't want to contribute to what's already a pretty high level of tension in the locker room."

Yeah, that's a great idea. Worked out quite well that they both used the same number.
And it's happening on the night LA and Carter come into town.
Found this article on on Yahoo about Dale Hunter's relationship with defenceman John Erksine:
One of the few things about Hunter so far this season that has made me raise an eyebrow. I was pretty surprised that the Capitals only gave him a contract for the remainder of this season, now it's looking somewhat likely that that's all he get.

I liked Ovechkin more when he was fun to watch. He has undergone a definite change alright. When Ovi gets going again, so will the Capitals.

Some rule changes proposed:
...a hybrid icing rule that would see the faceoff circle being used as the marker where a play can be blown dead. It's already in place in NCAA hockey and is designed to keep players from crashing into the end boards while racing back for the puck.
Under the new proposal, icing would be called if the defending player crossed the faceoff circle first. The play would be allowed to continue in instances where the attacking player was leading the race.
...elimination of hand passes in the defensive zone -- an infraction that could become a penalty. The GMs feel too many players are using the ability to glove the puck with their hand as a tactic on faceoffs.
None of the other items...gained much support, including the possible re-introduction of the red-line. The majority of the managers also remain in favour of keeping the trapezoid that prevents goaltenders from playing the puck in the corners.

So Radulov jumps ship for Mother Russia so he can make Moe money then wants to jump back cause the team seems like a true contender and he thinks he can win a Stanley Cup. Can't wait what Don Cherry has to say about that.

Don won't notice.. too busy yelling about Burke.

No official comments from Radulov, but it's looking very likely that he will indeed come back.
I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I'm actually hoping he comes in and dominates.
