Wednesday's Blogging Roundup

First off every at OffWing sends their best to the Press family, who welcomed, as JP himself puts it, "the world's youngest (I think) Caps fan, Joseph Wesley Press, who was born yesterday and already cries less than Sidney Crosby." Good choice of name too.

Tonight and tomorrow night the Caps play their last 2 games before the All-Star break. It's a home and home with Toronto that kicks off tonight north of the border. It will be Coach Boudreau first game behind the bench in his hometown, and he's gone to extra lengths to be prepared.

"I blew everybody off yesterday," he said. "This is a big game for us. I was in bed at 8:30. There were so many things I could have done. There were so many people I could have seen. But I didn't want to overextend myself. How can I ask the players to rest up if I don't do the same?"

For his own unique take on the game, check out The Peerless Prognosticator

Also, Kris Beech was claimed off waivers from Vancouver, and he's expected to be sent to Hershey to help boost their offense.

On Frozen Blog links to an interesting article today by MSNBC's Bob Duff, who is calling for a mercy killing for the NHL if Malkin can't get the Penguins to the playoffs. A serious article yes, a serious article to be taken seriously, nah.

And lastly, CapsChick at A View from the Cheap Seats takes a look at how the standings have taken a turn since Turkey Day. As The Peerless puts it, noting their current seed, Toronto's now at "14th place in the Eastern Conference (the Caps left the furniture behind so the blue and white can feel comfortable)."
