General Sports Water Cooler

I hope we come to a point in time when Kuz and Forsberg are playing in DC with OV and Backstrom still in their primes. We have no idea what OV will look like at 29, which sucks. Kuz could end up being his replacement instead of be able to be a weapon alongside him.

Two of three vs. Philly on the road. Two of three vs. Pittsburgh on the road.

How can you ever lose when you have this monster?

Yea seems like it

Caps set to sign Eric Fehr for $600K http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capitals-insider/wp/2013/01/12/capitals-set-to-sign-eric-fehr/

I've always liked him. Hope he can stay healthy.

Lock for 10 goals/35 points in 48 games. Maybe more.

Yea the signing is fine but it sure looks like we're going to struggle to score this year.

Look at their April schedule. That is absurd.

@TSNBobMcKenzie
Injured Brooks Laich likely to miss 1st week or two for WSH so Wojtek Wolski or Eric Fehr could fill in on 2nd line LW with Ribeiro-Brouwer.

He agreed to a deal yesterday. It's potentially a scoring line winger with some size, for pennies. No risk.

Went to Kettler for about an hour this morning, very crowded. Lots of coaching going in a practice that had a lot of stops and starts. Top line was Ovie/Backs/MoJo, and Backstrom didn't look like he had any problems at all. Green looks like Grizzly Adams with long hair and beard. Holtby looked pretty sharp. Lots of work on offensive zone setup both even strength an PP.
