Photo by Ghost_Bear Tonight the Capitals came from behind to beat the Florida Panthers 7-4. With Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green among a slew of injured players, Mike Knuble put up four points to spark the win. The total tied his personal best, from Valentine's Day, 2003. Asked what it was like to be a leader on this team, Knuble calmly dismissed the assertion. "It's just one game," he said,...

Capitals 6, Panthers 4ScoresheetNo one can really say the Washington Capitals suffer offensively with Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green out of the line up. With both suffering from injuries and out of the line up against the Florida Panthers the Capitals didn't have much troubles putting up seven goals from five different players, including a 5 goal third period. The Caps would sweep the home and home

SUNRISE, Fla. | Playing without Alex Ovechkin is one thing, but the Washington Capitals were losing a player a period Friday night. Thanks to a three-point night from Brian Pothier, 28 saves by Jose Theodore and some excellent late work on the penalty kill, the short-handed Caps ended a three-game skid with a 4-1 victory against the Florida Panthers at BankAtlantic Center. "You can't replace Alex...

Capitals 4, Panthers 1Scoresheet - Post - TimesThe Washington Capitals may have won the game in convincing fashion, but it was the parade of defensemen off the ice that drew the most attention. The Caps were resilent when they needed to be and Brian Pothier had one heck of a hockey game with 3 points as they win game one of a home and home with the Florida Panthers, 4-1.Mike Green left after only

Well… don’t blame this one on the absence of Alex Ovechkin. Blame this 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on some truly boneheaded plays and indifferent efforts. OK, New Jersey scored a goal on a fluke off-the-shin-pad shot from behind the Capitals’ net by Brian Rolston. It’s hockey, it happens, deal with it. But the other two goals? Alexander Semin takes a hooking call in his...

from Dan Rosen of NHL.com, Completely unprovoked, Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau spent Tuesday morning lobbying for defenseman Mike Green to make the Canadian Olympic team. “If I’m Stevie Yzerman, I’m looking at him as one of your top pair,” Boudreau said. According to people that follow the Capitals closely, it’s the first time Boudreau has publicly made a pitch...

People who look at the Washington Capitals’ lineup do so and see a collection of extraordinarily skilled players. Alex Ovechkin is the most prolific goal scorer of this generation. Alexander Semin might have a more complete set of skills than Ovechkin on both sides of the puck. Mike Green has called to mind faint comparisons with Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey as a puck-rushing offensive defenseman....

So said Albert Einstein. The difficulty at hand is that Alex Ovechkin is listed as “week-to-week” with what is called an “upper body injury.” What that means in terms of what, precisely, Ovechkin is suffering from is really of little relevance. He is out. What is relevant is how the Capitals react to the first (apparently, at least) lengthy absence of the club’s franchise...

UNIONDALE, N.Y. | Brooks Laich scored on a perfect feed from Mike Green in overtime as the Washington Capitals prevailed against the pesky New York Islanders, 3-2, at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Saturday night. After the Islanders took a two-goal lead early in the third period, the Caps clawed their way back. Green cut the lead in half 6:02 into the final period. He ripped a shot from the...

UNIONDALE, N.Y. | Agitators Nate Thompson and Tim Jackman are supposed to provide energy and spark for the New York Islanders, but on this night it worked the other way. Thompson's knee-on-knee hit on Washington Capitals defenseman Mike Green and other antics by Jackman helped wake up the sluggish Caps, and they rallied from a two-goal deficit to fend off the pesky Islanders 3-2 in overtime Saturday...

Michael Nylander has one of the larger contracts on the Washington Capitals. He has a salary cap hit of $4.875 million and is signed through the end of the 2010/11 season. This makes him the third highest paid player on the Capitals (behind Alexander Ovechkin and Mike Green). However, he has fallen out of favor with his Capitals team. He only scored nine goals last season and that had the Capitals...

Alex Ovechkin had two goals and scored in the shootout to lead the Washington Capitals to a 3-2 victory against the Nashville Predators at Verizon Center on Saturday night. Ovechkin gave the Caps a 2-0 advantage with a pair of first-period goals. Fifteen seconds after Eric Fehr drew his second penalty in as many shifts, Ovechkin drilled a one-timer from Mike Green past the outstretched skate of Nashville...

One of the top decision makers for Hockey Canada was at Verizon Center on Thursday night to scout potential Olympians for his country, such as Washington's Mike Green and San Jose's Dan Boyle, Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton. What Kevin Lowe saw was a heavy dose of the guys who will be playing for the top rival against his Canadian club at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Alex Ovechkin scored...
