Looks like the Caps are going to be significantly shorthanded tomorrow against the Panthers. Tom Poti, Mike Green, John Erskine, Alexander Semin and Sergei Fedorov are not expected to play, Coach Bruce Boudreau said, while Boyd Gordon is questionable. A few other notes and quotes from KCI: *The Caps are going to make one recall today. The only question is who (and it doesn't look like it's going to...

With Jeff Schultz, Sergei Fedorov, Alexander Semin, Mike Green, Boyd Gordon, John Erskine and Chris Clark all out, Coach Bruce Boudreau obviously has been forced to do some major lineup shuffling. Here are the forward combos as of right now: Ovechkin-Backstrom-Kozlov Fleischmann-Nylander-Fehr Bourque-Laich-Bradley Brashear-Steckel-Mink The 'D' pairings: Sloan-Poti Alzner-Jurcina Lepisto-Morrisonn Semin...

Could the Caps suffer any more injuries? Already without Mike Green, Sergei Fedorov and Alexander Semin, defenseman Jeff Schultz just left the game in the first period with a broken finger. GM George McPhee said he doesn't know how long Scultz will be out, but these types of injuries normally take weeks to heal. I'll have to check to see how it happened, but McPhee thought Schultz was hurt when he...

I think we all knew that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park. The Capitals are in danger of only getting 3 points on this 5 game road trip. They will finish it off with a trip to the Twin Cities to face the Wild (yet another hot team). The Caps aren't getting any healthier, Sergei Fedorov re-tweaked his injury in Saturday night's game. Mike Green and Alex Semin could still be out of

You may have noticed that Sergei Fedorov, who returned after missing seven games with a sprained ankle, didn't play a whole lot tonight. In fact, he skated only six shifts for a total of 4:54, and none after the first period. He's officially listed as day-to-day, again. I'll have an update on his status from practice in the morning....Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Winger Alexander Semin (back/shoulder strain) came off the ice early again during today's practice and is considered doubtful for tomorrow's game in Anaheim, Coach Bruce Boudreau just told me by phone. Sergei Fedorov (sprained ankle) practiced fully and is questionable for the Ducks game, while defenseman Shaone Morrisonn (strained groin muscle) will be a game-time decision. Here were the lines: Ovechkin-Backstrom-Kozlov...

Sergei Fedorov, who has been sidelined the past eight days with an ankle injury, said he's getting better and he even practiced with the team this morning. But the veteran center also said he does not expect to play this weekend, though he's hopeful he can make the long road trip next week....Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Michael Nylander, who has only one assist in his past seven games, will be a healthy scratch tonight. Jose Theodore will start in goal and likely face Scott Clemmensen. Sergei Fedorov is also out, as is Shaone Morrisonn. More in a minute....Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

A very quick update from KCI: Sergei Fedorov, Shaone Morrisonn and Viktor Kozlov are out tonight against Tampa Bay. Coach Bruce Boudreau said Kozlov, who was wearing an orange jersey this morning, is nursing a nagging injury (he would not be specific) and that he's still hopeful Fedorov and Morrisonn will be ready for Wednesday's game in Raleigh. Here were the lines: Ovechkin-Backstrom-Semin Fleischmann-Nylander-Clark...

As I mentioned in the previous post, Shaone Morrisonn and Sergei Fedorov did not practice today. They are "questionable" for tomorrow's game against Tampa Bay, while Chris Clark, who did skate, is "possible". Asked how hopeful he is that Morrisonn and/or Fedorov will be able to play, Boudreau said: "I would look at Wednesday." The other players who didn't skate are just resting, Boudreau said. But...

I like to try to pick the point in a player’s career where they establish themselves as a Hall of Famer. They have to have Hall of Fame credentials that will remain untarnished regardless of what happens or does not happen for the remainder of their career. Here are the standards I use to decide if a player is Hall of Fame worthy. Today I am ready to declare that Sergei Fedorov has reached that level....

Because teams aren't required to divulge much about injuries under the NHL's new guidelines, details are hard to come by in regard to Shaone Morrisonn and Sergei Fedorov. Neither player participated in today's informal optional practice, and a team official would only say that both are day-to-day. We know Morrisonn has a groin pull, and I saw him exit through a side door, walking without a limp. I'm...

Courtesy Washington Capitals. If you were a big Caps fan and were especially fond of Sergei Fedorov, one thing you might have done to celebrate his becoming the NHL's all-time leading Russian goal scorer would be to pump your fist. Possibly you could have stood up off your coach and raised your arms in the air. Maybe you might have downed a sip or two or red Gatorade to mark the occasion. Another option...
