Michal Kempny likes his time on the water and the Capitals defenseman made the thighlights reel again while vacationing in Palmižana, Croatia.
Kempny was snapped in his swimsuit while on a boat in the Adriatic Sea.
If it wasn’t evident enough in the photo, Kempny said it outright in the caption, “Getting stronger every day 🙌🏻”
Former Capitals forward Brett Connolly put on a Florida Panthers jersey and met the Cats media for the very first time on Tuesday.
The next day on Twitter, he looked back on his time in Washington and said goodbye to the organization and fans.
Happy July 4, everyone! We hope you have a fun, safe day. Yummy down on some hot dogs and frothy drinks and whatever. Maybe one way to kick off the day is with this hot fresh podcast. In this episode, Peter and Ian recount all the news of the off-season. There’s a lot of it, so we had to go lightning-round mode.

From Emmys to powerful auditions on America’s Got Talent, the Washington Capitals are blessed to have national talent as contributors to games.
The latest triumph comes from Capitals PA announcer Wes Johnson, who is the promotional voice of SpongeBob SquarePants Big Birthday Blowout – a TV movie celebrating the Nickelodeon series’ 20th anniversary.
Wes’s voice can be heard in the official trailers and promotional content for the special.
Last time, we unpacked all of the changes to the Metropolitan Division made so far this offseason, painting a picture of a division that will be much more competitive next season. Two of the Metro’s basement-dwelling teams, the New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils, have had a sudden, massive injection of talent, but one team was conspicuously left out of that conversation: the Washington Capitals.
Now it’s time to unpack the Caps’ summer moves, and how the team who suits up for 2019-20 should be even better than the 2018-19 model.

Former Capitals forward Brett Connolly was introduced to the South Florida media on Tuesday for the first time since becoming a Florida Panther. And Conno wasn’t alone. He was joined at the press conference by new acquisitions Sergei Bobrovsky, Anton Stralman, and Noel Acciari.
Connolly sported a red Florida Panthers jersey for the first time, and, you guys, this is going to take some time to get used to.
Alex Ovechkin’s seemingly never-ending summer vacation continued on Wednesday as the future Hall of Famer tried his luck wakeskating.
And I’m here to inform him, he should probably stick to his day job. 😂
Former Capitals forward Andre Burakovsky took to Instagram on Tuesday to say goodbye to the only NHL organization he’s ever known. The Capitals traded Burakovsky to the Colorado Avalanche for a second an third-round draft pick in 2020.
“It’s been a true honor to be apart of the @capitals organization for 6 years,” Burakovsky wrote. “I have made memories and friends that can never be replaced. Thanks to all the coaches, trainers and all the players for my 5 years with the team. Love you all. I’m really excited to start a new chapter with the @coloradoavalanche can’t wait for the season to start!!”
Sergei Bobrovsky signed a seven-year, $70 million contract with the Florida Panthers on the first day of free agency. The deal has two long-term consequences: securing a top-tier replacement for Roberto Luongo, and setting the market for Braden Holtby’s next contract.
The Capitals’ beloved starting goaltender is in the final year of five-year, $30.5 million contract that has an annual average value of $6.1 million.
To bring Holtby back beyond this season, Brian MacLellan may have to offer Holtby a contract with $10 million AAV or more — unless the tortoise owner takes a hometown discount.
