Caps Not Expecting Big Moves

We need a goalie bad the way that rookie played lastnight any body can be us....

I hear from AP:
Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin was injured during practice here this morning, his face clenched in pain as he hobbled off the ice.

Ovechkin was nailed in the right foot by one of his teammates during a shooting drill and immediately staggered over to the bench.

He was in obvious discomfort as a Capitals trainer feverishly attempted to remove his right skate. Once that was completed, Ovechkin, wearing a skate on his left foot and just a sock on the right, limped to the dressing room followed by concerned Capitals medical staff.

The extent of the injury is not yet known.

Today's trade deadline was unacceptable. All this "oh we are looking at the future" crap. At what point do we try to win a Stanley Cup? I have listened to this reasoning for years and now that we have a team that can compete for the Stanley Cup we do NOTHING because we want to win it in a few years. How about NOW?! Why waste a great regular season? Today, Boston got better, New Jersey got better, Philadelphia got better, Florida got better, New York got better, Carolina got better. When are we going to wake up? The goal is to win a Stanley Cup and so at some point we need to look at winning one NOW. Thanks for ruining the season Mcphee. We had a chance. We still do, I'm not selling us off, but it just got considerably more difficult.......
