Capitals Insider: April 1, 2007 - April 7, 2007
Semin Expected to Play
Good crowd out at KCI today. I would say about 200 or so folks showed up for the Caps' final practice of the season. Those fans didn't get to see Alexander Semin skate -- he's still got a sore foot and a bit of a cold -- but he is...

Ovechkin Has Been "Sensational"
Everyone was anxious to see how Alex Ovechkin would rebound from his blowup in Tampa. Well, we've got our answer. I feel weird saying this about a player who's got 46 goals, but, in my opinion, the past two games have been among Ovechkin's best this season. And that's not...

Steckel Up, Schultz Down
I was just informed that center Dave Steckel has been recalled from Hershey and defenseman Jeff Schultz has been re-assigned to the Bears. Steckel was called up to fill in tonight for Alexander Semin, who didn't make the trip to Atlanta after suffering a foot injury in the second period...

What happened in Tampa, stayed in Tampa.
Or so the Caps said today, about 48 hours removed from Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning, which led to a players only meeting and all-star Alex Ovechkin smashing a stick and an iPod on his way out of St. Pete Times Forum. After a previously scheduled day off yesterday,...

Ovechkin, Caps Off Today
Unfortunately, the Caps are off today, and I'm traveling, so I'm doubting there will be much fallout to report today. If you don't know what I'm talking about read my game story from last night's game here. If I hear anything, I'll post something later....
