Friday was Media Day at Kettler as the Capitals opened their 2015 Training Camp. Training Camp will last until October 6, by which time the final roster should be selected.

There are three groups hitting the ice the first few days of camp, which comprises a total of 64 players. The groups will start being “adjusted” starting Sunday, September 20th. Day One was focused on drills on the Arlington Rink, and skate tests on the Capitals Rink. As the rounds of players raced back and forth across the ice, their teammates crowded the benches and behind the glass to watch and support. Jay Beagle spent time after finishing his laps to stay on the ice to encourage his teammates. Gotta love this team.

While the Caps rookies were playing in a prospect tournament in Florida on Saturday morning, the roster players, including new signees TJ Oshie and Justin Williams, took part in another informal skate at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. Most of the team was present minus Evgeny Kuznetsov, Brooks Laich (in LA for the Creative Arts Emmy Awards), Jason Chimera, Matt Niskanen, and the newly engaged Alex Ovechkin, who is expected to arrive on Monday.

The players ran their own drills and scrimmaged. Team White was buoyed by Justin William’s tiny son, Jaxon, who cheered his dad from the bench. Many Caps players took a quick liking to Jaxon as he operated as designated bench door opener for most of the game. He also kept his dad hydrated by squirting Gatorade.

Training camp doesn’t begin until Friday, but the Caps are already hard at work.

On Saturday, the Washington Capitals played their final regular season game against the New York Rangers. They did so in their Winter Classic jerseys.

Here’s the thing: the Capitals need a new third jersey. Wouldn’t these be a great fit for that – at least for the immediate future? I went to the game and took photos at warmups. As you can see, these sweaters look just as good inside as they did outside.

Let’s go BUF – FA – LO!

Yes, that’s right, I said it– on RMNB!

As many of you know, I’m a Sabres/Caps fan that got into hockey watching Ryan Miller in the 2010 Olympics. I followed him back to the Sabres and from that moment on, they were my team (forgive me). I fell in love with the city, its team, and its people when I first visited in 2012.
