Montreal defensemen Roman Hamrlik and Patrice Brisbois have played 1,096 and 964 games, respectively. Coach Bruce Boudreau's take? "It's a great challenge," Boudreau said. "That's how I look it, seriously. We don't like the situation,...

Defenseman Tyler Sloan has been returned to Hershey, so that must mean Tom Poti is ready to go for tomorrow's game against the Sabres. Sloan skated in his first four NHL games this month and also got his first goal in Dallas. The 27-year-old averaged 10:38 in ice time per game and had a plus/minus rating of even, but his first NHL recall will be remembered most for his devastating shoulder check on...

Tarik El-Bashir reports in Capitals Insider that Tyler Sloan has been returned to the Hershey Bears. Sloan -- heretofore a player who logged AHL time with Syracuse and Manitoba, as well as Hershey in the AHL -- had a nice little run here. It argues for him being on a short list of potential emergency call-ups this season. In his four games... Record: 2-2-0 Scoring: 1-0-1 Average ice time: 10:38 Plus/minus:...

from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail, The question was put to Tyler Sloan as he sat in the far corner of the Washington Capitals dressing room, a few stalls to the right of Sergei Fedorov, Alexander Semin and hockey’s most dynamic force, Alexander Ovechkin: If someone made a movie out of your career, what would they call it? Sloan smiled as he undid his skates. Cinderella Man, he replied. Indeed,...

According to Corey, Tyler Sloan has been called up from Hershey. Sloan, a gritty stay at home defenseman, will most likely make the western swing road trip with the Capitals. This might also but the kibosh on Sergei Fedorov's time as a defenseman. This also means that Tom Poti, Donald Brashear and Viktor Kozlov may not make the trip. The Capitals are a bit up against the salary cap, which

Defenseman Tyler Sloan was recalled after Hershey's loss to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton today and will join the Caps on their road trip to Calgary, Phoenix and Dallas later this week. I'll get Bruce Boudreau's thoughts on the move after tomorrow morning's practice, but it most likely means Tom Poti (groin) won't be ready for the trip and that Sergei Fedorov is going back up front. Fedorov made a great pass...

I'm hearing that Tyler Sloan, Sami Lepisto, Grant McNeill and Simeon Varlamov were all sent to Hershey this afternoon. If Sloan and Lepisto have in fact been demoted, that leaves the Caps with seven defensemen, including 2007 first round draft pick Karl Alzner. More on this later....Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

In case you missed it earlier, the Caps demoted Keith Aucoin and cut loose invitee Jakub Cutta, thus reducing the camp roster to 29 players (not including Brian Pothier). And if you take out Tyler Sloan, Simeon Varlamov and Grant McNeill - all of whom appear to be Hershey-bound - that leaves the Caps with 26 players and three cuts left to make. It's looking like Chris Bourque and Quintin Laing will...

Amidst a lot of chaos and exorbitant contracts, the Caps stayed relatively quiet with just two AHL-likely signings yesterday. The team inked Graham Mink and Tyler Sloan, both members of the 2006 Calder Cup champion Hershey Bears (coached by current Caps bench boss Bruce Boudreau). Meanwhile, the much-ballyhooed Marian Hossa signed a one-year, $7.4 million deal with the defending champion Detroit Red...
