Monday Miscellany

INCH profiles Caps' prospect Phil DeSimone a couple of weeks ago (really well-written, too).... Karl Alzner: oenophile, philanthropist.... In bizarro world, Martin Brodeur wears this and Alex Ovechkin bitches about it.... Some blogger at MVN arbitrarily ranks the Caps' as the League's 20th-best fan base. Agree/disagree?... Kevin Allen has pre-pre-season power rankings up and has the Caps at eighth (nice number) and drops an "Ovechkin as Gordie Howe" comparison.... It looks like Hershey enforcer Louis Robitaille is off to Italy to continue his career (which, I suppose, would make him former Hershey enforcer Louis Robitaille). Robitaille played his only two NHL games for the Caps back in the 2005-06 season, registering no points and one fight and had 350 PIMs for the Bears last season.... Thanks to Jimmy Jazz for the über kind words.... Finally, THN's list of its Top Fifty Players is out, and ripe for discussion:
  1. Sidney Crosby
  2. Alex Ovechkin
  3. Henrik Zetterburg
  4. Pavel Datsyuk
  5. Vincent Lecavalier
