Places I like to visit to keep up with the Caps and hockey in general.
Caps
The
official Caps website--much
better than the old one
Capital
Offense--Amber does a
great job with this site; check for game summaries after each game
The
Washington Post's Caps section--some
don't like LaCanfora, but I think he's ok; you can also read Wilbon,
Boswell, and Kornheiser's take on the Caps if you so desire
The
Washington Times' Sports Section--they
don't have a Caps section as far as I can tell; though I don't like
this right-wing rag, they do have a good pair of Caps writers
CapsRoadCrew--on the road with the Caps!!
ESPN
Caps message board--great,
knowledgeable fans and not too many trolls
The
Phone
Booth
CapsTalk Forum--more
great fans sharin' the knowledge
The
Sporting News Caps news--good
readin', uh-huh
Hockey's
Future Capitals section--great
place to keep up with the prospects
Let's
Go Caps!--Becky
doesn't update anymore, but she's got great archives
Broadcast.com
Capitals--for those
times when HTS is showing those birdie things or the world's worst
basketball team; please keep in mind that you can listen to the OTHER
team's broadcast if Kolbe gives you a headache
Peter
Bondra.net--wonderfully
comprehensive site about our sniper; tons of great information and pictures
Zilla's
World--a site
dedicated to our Vezina winner--I love the picture of the author and
Olie and little Zilla!
Always
Intense--Caps and NHL news, pictures, and signs to bring to games
Inside-Out--a
humorous take on Caps' practices at Piney Orchard
StephenPeat.com--devoted
to the Caps' newest enforcer--PEAT PEAT PEAT!!!
New! Qui
Est Maxime Ouellet?--site dedicated to promising young netminder
Maxime Ouellet
New! Washington
Hockey--original articles, message boards and more, written by
fans, for fans!
New! Caps'
Corner--more original writing on the Caps, and the NHL in general!
NHL and other hockey
The Internet Hockey Database--One of the
best sites known to man--you can find all the stats for almost every
hockey player ever, plus information about teams and leagues--I use
this all the time while researching my gameworns--give it a try!
Professional
Hockey Newspaper and Media Source--the
mother of all link sites; here you'll find links to every freakin'
news source for every freakin' team in the world! Well, maybe
not in the world, but NHL, minor pro, international, AND North
American junior hockey. It'll keep you busy for a few hours,
that's for sure!
ESPN.com--decent
articles, power rankings, and they actually talk about the Caps if
they're doing well (jinxing them in the process I am convinced!); if
the Caps are on ESPN (stop laughing), they have little avi video
clips the day after the game--go and save them before they disappear!)
CBS
Sportsline--Game
Center is pretty neat when you're forced to listen to the game on
the radio; you can always find game pictures here (from AP and
Reuters) the day after a Caps game (look under Teams)
NHLPA--for
those interested in the players themselves; lots of great features,
updated daily; plus, they tell you how much each player is making if
you're nosy like I am
Slam!--great,
gossipy articles from Canadian newspapers, so primary focus is on
Canadian teams; best place to keep up with junior hockey
The
Sporting News--Wigge
CBC
Sports Online--where
to see Coach's Corner for the dish-deprived among us
FoxSports--one
of the few major sites to actually have some AHL, IHL, ECHL, and
college hockey coverage
In
the Crease--coverage
of all the damn leagues; I dig the Fight Card section for the tales
of crazy minor league brawls, and the occasional Caps fight
Yahoo!
Sports--mostly the
same articles as the other major sites, but some original content;
also photo galleries that are a bit easier to navigate than CBS
Sportsline (but don't seem to be as comprehensive)
Junior/Minor Hockey
WHL
official
site--box
scores, game summaries of all the WHL games; useful for keeping up
with many of the Caps' prospects
WHL
Underground--the "unofficial" site of the WHL--lots of
great info from team site rankings to fighter rankings--they've got
it all!
Hockey's
Future--the best site for researching prospects of all NHL teams
Professional
Hockey Players' Association--the minor-league counterpart to the NHLPA
The
Fighting Major--"dedicated to the pugilistic side of the
WHL and OHL"--'nuff said!
Portland
Pirates official site--game
summaries and other nifty stuff
Portland
Pirates at Mainetoday.com--local
coverage of the Caps' top farm team from the Portland Press Herald
Richmond
Renegades/Richmond Times Dispatch--local coverage of the Caps'
ECHL affiliate
International Hockey
International
Ice Hockey Federation--the
organization that runs the World Cup each year
IceHockey
World Championships Official
Site--lots
of articles about the players in the most recent World Cup
USA
Hockey--U.S.
Olympic and junior hockey, women's and men's
