Caps team photo

Here's the video from the Caps website.



Something to note from that video is, that Chris Clark has the "C" again(no surprise). Ovechkin has an "A", and the other "A" belongs to Sergei Fedorov. Last year Brashear wore the 3rd "A", but Fedorov gets it this year.

Also, here's a quote from Laich about why Clark is the captain.

"I think it is undisputed that Alex is the face of the Washington Capitals and a leader on this hockey team. Chris Clark is a veteran that has been around and knows how to handle a hockey team and how to be a leader. Alex is a superstar. We all know that, but [Clark] has a great relationship – as does Alex – with all of the players. [Clark] has a bit more of a calming presence and we missed him last year. We missed him dearly. I don’t think either of those guys are worried about titles and who has the ‘A’ or who has the ‘C.’ Those guys are both leaders and they just want to win."

Clark interview

Captain Chris Clark was on Washington Post live last night. Tarik has the interview on his blog, check it out.

I just want to say that he is ripped. He looks like he can bench 350+ pounds. I bet he's been lifting a lot of weights since he couldn't skate or play hockey for a long time. It's going to be good to have him back.
