JohnLuTSNMtl: #Habs Fucale has been returned to the Halifax Mooseheads.

Not a surprise, but I thought he would spend some more time with the Habs.

The Capitals New Winter Classic Jersey

Caps Winter Classic jersey revealed.

Apparently designed by Grandpa Simpson. All it's missing is an onion on the belt, which was the style at the time.

You're far more optimistic than I am.

I expect another year of strong competition for the #1 overall pick. This is a team that doesn't even have a starting goaltender anymore, which was the only thing that kept them even remotely in games last season. They were only 25th worst in GA/G and within 10% of the 16th place team. But GF/G; 30th by a WIDE margin. A full 25% behind the 29th scoring team.

LOL - pour , drink , repeat as needed. Positive thoughts ! It's pre season = hope springs eternal

Didn't watch the game last night, but my twitter feed was remarkably surprised at the lack of call there. No business hitting a guy in that spot.

It's like they were trying to go simplistic (which I love) but then went crazy busy with the design. Way too many stripes and stars on it. If they cut back on just the stripes alone and got rid of the "Capitals" on the front, I'd be a big fan. But as it is, way too much going on.

For the first time, I actually agree with Philly fans for booing.

In Philadelphia, the Flyers used to have Ice Girls of the near-naked variety, but this offseason completely got rid of them. Let's just say the response has been the opposite of San Jose. The Flyers still have an Ice Crew, which they debuted Monday night at the team's first preseason game, but there are no women -- scantily clad or otherwise.

The fans, as you see/hear above, don't seem to like the change.

That’s a good thing, because it wasn’t always that way. Years ago, true holdouts happened all the time in the NHL, often involving superstar players who’d sit out for months or even a full year in an attempt to get their way. Somehow, this didn’t seem like all that big of a deal at the time — everyone just kind of accepted it.

I like the concept of ditching skanks on skates...but, they can still skate and clean the ice. Just have them clothed, for goodness sake.

I'm sorry, what were you saying again?

Hey now, just because they're scantily clad doesn't necessarily mean they're skanks.

I think she was addressing the ones in Philly specifically.

I love the show, 'It's Always Skanky In Philadelphia'.

Holy shit, what does this say about the rest of the team?

The Yotes opened the doors for practice today. The public responded.

The Caps should have gone with this hooded jersey.
