Washington Capitals Summer Review:
June Through August Of 2012

Photo via ULoop blog.

Summer, both the temperate season (Northern Hemisphere) and the NHL hockey offseason, are coming to a close (hopefully) in a couple weeks. There may not have been as much activity during the last three months as many fans would have liked, but a few events and newsworthy stories did take place.

In June, after the playoffs, we had the 2012 Entry Draft. July 1, free agency started. Intermittently, there have been trades and various transactions throughout the summer.

Washington Capitals fans said goodbye to a few newly minted free agents, including veteran crease invader Mike Knuble, and enigmatic winger Alexander Semin. We also said hello to new acquisitions, like the consistent forward Mike Ribeiro.

For those Caps fans who work and live locally, I'm sure watching the prospects play at development camp was exciting. Currently, we're all tracking the new CBA negotiations.

More detailed information, and related feature stories, are available via the archives of the following popular sites.

Obviously, I've been out of commission for a while. Therefore, I was not able to post updates on the Washington Capitals for the month of May 2012. With my limited (and unpaid) time, I think it would be utter madness for me to even try, at this point. So, you'll soon see new blog posts starting with June 2012 updates

However, I would like to suggest you visit the archives of the following popular sites, to catch up with or review what happened last month. The end of Washington's second round NHL playoff series against the New York Rangers, and unfortunately their 2012 playoffs run altogether, is well documented by these sources.
