Earlier this season, Bruce Boudreau was unhappy with his players because they seemed more interested in scoring goals than protecting the lead. After losing leads time and time again, it appears the Washington Capitals have swung to the other end of the pendulum. Before they were playing too loose with the lead, and now the Caps are playing too tight. That was their coach's observation Tuesday, a day...

"It took us five years to get to the point we got to in San Jose, with the success we had. We developed a lot of young players and that takes time. You don’t become the second-place team in the NHL overnight. The same thing’s going to happen here – it’s not going to happen overnight. You’re not going to use the same systems everywhere you go because the personnel’s...

Update from Tuesday's practice: After one game, Mike Babcock already has scuttled the pairings he tried to stick with Monday at Nashville. During Tuesday's practice, Nicklas Lidstrom was still with Jonathan Ericsson, but the Wings plan to use Brad Stuart with Brian Rafalski on the other top pair, and use those four against opposing top lines. Babcock said the rest of the shifts will...

Photo by flickr user Dan4th. Things were going to be different once Milan Lucic and Marc Savard were able to suit up again. When injury claimed not one, but two of the Bruins' game-making talents, objectives changed a bit. Winning games would be great, but keeping things in relatively working order until Looch and Savvy got back (and got things going) would be pretty acceptable. When Looch and Savvy...

from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, The players were hoping that a second win in 72 hours, the club’s first back-to-backs in almost a year, might give GM Brian Burke pause for thought as he contemplates trades and call-ups. But the 40-year-old Roloson had other plans. The 61 Toronto shots tied the modern-day team record from an 8-0 win over Detroit in February of 1976. “I don’t...

from Ansar Khan of Mlive, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock is pleased with Bertuzzi’s skating and back-checking, but the big winger is committing too many turnovers and isn’t finishing. He has just three goals and nine points in 22 games. “It’s frustrating not putting up the amount of goals and points I think I can do,’’ Bertuzzi said. “I’ve gotten the opportunity...

OTTAWA | For all of their strengths, blowing leads in the third period has been an unseemly flaw for the Washington Capitals this season. That said, this one might rank as one of the worst. The Ottawa Senators, badly outplayed for 40 minutes, outshot the Caps 22-3 in the third period and overtime and rallied from a two-goal deficit Monday night to defeat Washington 4-3 at ScotiaBank Place. "This...

I'm working on something else for later in the week, so I'm going to be brief: *The Caps' injury situation might not get any better before tonight's game. Defenseman Shaone Morrisonn (concussion) skated this morning said he's getting close but that he doesn't expect to play tonight. "I felt pretty good out there, but I'm not 100 percent yet," Morrisonn said. "They don't want to rush...

TORONTO | Not only were the Washington Capitals short seven skaters, but playing on a second consecutive night for the third straight Saturday, they also were short on energy. Semyon Varlamov carried the Caps for as long as he could, though it wasn't enough. Niklas Hagman scored Toronto's lone goal and sealed the shootout with a tally in a 2-1 victory for the Maple Leafs at sold-out Air Canada Centre....
