Washington, DC

After Olaf Kolzig left the Washington Capitals in 2008, there was a big, crucial hole to fill in their lineup between the pipes. The team tried things with Jose Theodore, Semyon Varlamov, and Michal Neuvirth, but none of these proved to be the true number-one goalie of the future for them. Then came Braden Holtby in 2010-11, who shared the crease with Varlamov and Neuvirth and had the potential to be the next great goalie for the Capitals. Washington eventually moved on from Varlamov and traded him to the Colorado Avalanche, as Neuvirth played more games and Holtby gained experience. Heading into the 2011-12 season, Capitals general manager George McPhee wanted to bring another veteran netminder into the mix. With that, he inked Tomas Vokoun to a one-year contract. Vokoun may not be remembered much for his time in D.C., but he was vital for the team during the brief stint that he donned their sweater.

Two immigrants from south of the border told the City Council Monday they were harassed when using hotel vouchers for shelter in Denver. Speaking through an interpreter, Leivy Ortega and Henry Aguilar said they received vouchers for hotel stays from an unnamed non-profit. But they had problems using the vouchers, they said. Ortega said she came to Denver from Connecticut and lived in her car for 15 days. She received a three-day hotel voucher, she said, but hotel staff initially would not honor it. She did not name the hotel. She said staff finally looked at her paperwork and gave her a room, but they wanted to charge her. for it. She said they initially weren’t going to allow her to stay because she has a service animal.

When general manager Bill Armstrong was hired in 2020, it was the dawn of a new era for Armstrong and the Arizona Coyotes. After several trades that saw Armstrong acquire an abundance of draft capital, those picks are slowly becoming players in the NHL. Since the 2021 draft, Armstrong has made a total of 42 selections, which also includes eight first-round selections. That’s where the Logan Cooley’s, Dylan Guenther’s, and Dmitri Simashev’s have come from.

The Boston Bruins made some big signings when free agency began on July 1. After having very little cap space to spend last summer, this time around, general manager Don Sweeney had a little over $20 million. A good portion of that will have to be used to re-sign restricted free agent Jeremy Swayman, but even factoring that contract in, the team could make a real splash.

Last year at about this time, I wrote a piece arguing that the Ottawa Senators needed to be bigger, badder but mostly meaner to make the playoffs. Just as Toronto Maple Leafs general manager (GM) Brad Treliving had done last summer by adding Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi and Ryan Reaves to his squad, I made the case that then-Senators’ GM Pierre Dorion needed to “add more snot” to his roster. He didn’t and that’s one of the reasons the Senators hit the golf links early this spring.
