The Capitals have agreed to terms on a one year contract with former MVP Sergei Fedorov. Fedorov has won three Stanley Cups while playing center, wing and defense. He has also been voted the NHL's best defensive forward. He reportedly had many contract offers from teams throughout the NHL and Russia's new KHL, but he took a 33 percent paycut from last season to stay with the Caps for $4 million. This could have something......

Mike Green came to terms with the Capitals today on a four-year, $21 million dollar contract to play ice hockey. In my first post on DCist, all the way back in October of 2006, I described a hard-fought match between the Caps and the Avalanche that reached its climax when "Green, the Caps star minor-league defenseman, who is expected to show signs of someday belonging in the NHL by the end of this season,......

It's far too early to report an actual relationship, but we got a kick out of this anyway. A brand new blog honestly titled Hot Leader Celeb reports, in questionable English prose, that Alexander Ovechkin is seeing a woman named Lena Lenskaya. This is based on a picture of the two of them standing next to each other at a party. We're sure our readers will agree: if you stand next to a girl......

According to Forbes magazine, the Washington Capitals are the third most worthless team in the National Hockey League. This is a big step up from last year, when they were number one! Of course, being businessmen and not hockey fans, the boys at Forbes have failed to take into account the kinds of younger, developing players that the Caps hold, ready to carry them to success either this year or in the immediate future. If......

The Capitals have re-signed center Brooks Laich (pronounced LIKE) to a one year contract. Laich is a fast-skating, defensively responsible young center who can also play on the wing. The Capitals acquired him from the Ottawa Senators in 2004 in a trade for Washington's all time leading scorer, Peter Bondra. Returning to a recently broken club policy, "financial terms of the deal were not disclosed." According to TSN, however, the contract is worth $725,000.00, and......

At Tuesday night's game, Gavin Dunaway of The Alphabetical Order, who was watching the game with Mike "Goodtyme" Garrity of Nitro Tokyo, suggested we write a story about, "how satisfying it is to watch your team completely drubbing another team." That was pretty much the theme of the evening, as the Washington Capitals took a lead fifteen seconds into play, built it up to 4-0, and easily held on to win 6-2. During breaks in......

Written by DCist contributor Eli Resnick Last night, the Washington Capitals lost to the Pittsburgh Penguins. They've been doing this for quite a while. In this so-called rivalry, the Penguins have owned the Capitals for decades. Well, okay, there was a night back around 1993 that the Capitals beat the Penguins 8-1, and there was one playoff series where the Capitals actually pulled through, but basically, as the NHL decides whether to build the rivalry......
