Day One of the Caps' Development Camp is in the books and while some players impressed (Oskar Osala, Francois Bouchard and Mathieu Perreault among them) and some didn't (Joe Finley, Simeon Varlamov), I wouldn't read much into one afternoon's performance with new linemates, etc.Really, it was just great to see hockey in July and get to see the names we've been reading about (some for years) on the backs of (very sharp) practice jerseys. With so much going on and so many other new and old media types there, there's sure to be plenty worth checking out, so take it all in from near (much like GMGM and Ted and his son were doing yesterday in KB's picture above) or far. Start here:
- Dump and Chase (why would you start anywhere else?)
- On Frozen Blog (rookie camp is like crack to these guys)
- Capital Fanatic (great pics and observations)
- WaPo feature on Backstrom (by intern Katie Carrera)
- Off Wing Opinion (fantastic interviews with Varlamov, Karl Alzner and Andrew Glass) In fact, here's the Varlamov interview to whet your appetite:

That picture tells it all, doesn't it?
And on the eighth day, they scrimmaged.
The Caps botched signing Souray....
....this would have been their saving grace for a so-so off-season.
To Edmonton he goes. Kevin Lowe with the last laugh. Bah.
hope youre kidding wes
No, I'm not.
The Caps will be lucky to make the playoffs. This sucks, because I'm a fan. I'm just keeping it real here.
wes
show me 8 east teams with a better top two lines and a better checking line with a great experienced goaltender....then tell me the Caps won't make the playoffs....if we don't it will be due to not having a great stay-at-home defensemen- souray is SURELY not the answer for that
