from Japers’ Rink, Dear Pope Benedict XVI - While you’re in town and I’ve got your ear, I’d like to ask a favor. Now, I’m not Catholic, but I was wondering if you could take a quick second and have a word with the big guy and ask him to help Bruce Boudreau come to the realization that John Erskine has no business being on the ice in this series. continued

The Caps should consider themselves fortunate to be down 2-0. They played with energy. But they didn't play smart. The defense got burned badly on the first goal. It was a nice pass by Braydon Coburn, but no one was even close to R.J. Umberger, who split John Erskine and Jeff Schultz. The second goal was again on the defense. Mike Green probably shouldn't have attempted to skate the puck out of the...

The lineups were just announced and defenseman Jeff Schultz is in. That bumps Steve Eminger out. I thought Eminger played a strong game on Friday, but I'm guessing Coach Bruce Boudreau felt he needed John Erskine's toughness more....Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Practice just started here at KCI and enforcer Donald Brashear and John Erskine are back on the ice. Both seem to moving fine and I would be surprised if they do not make the trip, which begins tomorrow at Carolina. Brashear was sidelined for Friday's game in Atlanta with a minor lower body injury, and Erskine has missed five games with an upper body injury. Chris Clark also skated on his own for 20...

With defenseman John Erskine hurting, it appears that prospect Sami Lepisto has been recalled from Hershey. Lepisto is on the ice for the morning skate, though I have not received confirmation of the transaction yet. Meantime, the team won't say what's wrong with Erskine, but his injury was likely caused by Eric Godard's right jab on Wednesday. Olie Kolzig is not skating, which if you ready my article...

John Erskine is not practicing today. I mentioned in my notes last night that the rugged defenseman played only 5:12 against the Flames after getting in a fight with Eric Godard in the first period. I've inquired about his status, but I haven't received an update yet. I'll be sure to post an update when I hear something. Reporters also attempted to get an interview with defenseman Brian Pothier last...

Interim Coach Bruce Boudreau just said that Brian Pothier will be a healthy scratch against the Thrashers. The veteran defenseman will be replaced in the lineup by John Erskine, Boudreau said. Pothier ranks fifth on the team in scoring with two goals and 10 points and is tied with Alex Ovechkin for the team lead in plus/minus with a rating of plus-4. But his errant pass in the first period of last...
