Eric Fehr Has Elbow Surgery, Leaves Tom Poti’s Arlington Condo

On Thursday morning the Capitals announced yet another player has had an off-season surgery.

Eric Fehr had surgery on his injured elbow June 3. You’ll recall Nicklas Backstrom underwent arthroscopic surgery on his hip on May 27. Here’s what the team said about F-16:

Eric Fehr underwent a successful surgery on his elbow on Wednesday. According to the doctors who performed the surgery, if rehabilitation goes well, Eric will be healthy for the start of the 2015-16 regular season.

Fehr missed almost a month of the 2014-2015 season, including 10 playoff games, due to an upper-body injury. He becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, and both Chris and Peter have suggested Frank might not return to the Caps next year.

Tom Wilson Penalized For Hitting Too Hard (GIF)

Tom Wilson has an issue with penalties. He draws a ton and commits a ton. On Tuesday he caught a kneeing penalty in the second period. No worries: the Capitals killed it with ease.

But immediately after leaving the Willy bin, Wilson executed the biggest hit we’ve seen these playoffs.

Poor Lubomir Visnovsky, repeated concussion victim, was skating with his head down and hunched over. Wilson stopped moving his legs but didn’t shy away from the hit.
