We are in the midst of summer hockey doldrums as we wait for training camp and the new season to start. For the Caps, there are still a few things to settle about lines and rookies.
Meanwhile, weddings are behind us. The Ovechkin’s and Laich’s are winding up their honeymoons. Former Capitals/Bears defenseman Connie Carrick announced his engagement to long-time girlfriend Lexi Solofra. Congrats!!
