  • There’s been a lot of decertification talk recently. Some people have an idea of what it means, but most don’t know the ramifications. One being that doing this could end the season entirely. Here’s a Decertification Q & A to help. (CBC)
  • On last weeks Tip Ins, we talked about Washington Capitals defenseman Roman Hamrlik making selfish comments about the lockout and firing Donald Fehr. Montreal Canadiens’ forward Erik Cole sounded off against him. Though Caps goalie Michal Neuvirth “100% agreed” with Hamrlik in the beginning, he has since apologized. Caps forward Troy Brouwer then said his teammates were “selling us [the union] out”. Even Winnipeg Jets’ captain Andrew Ladd took a few shots. Then the other Caps goalie, Braden Holtby said he agreed with Brouwer. Man. This lockout is going to be the end of the Washington Capitals. Donald Fehr’s thoughts on Hamrlik’s comments? He’s cool with it. (NBC Sports)

Yes they have a home, but they still don’t have a non-NHL owner. They have until January 31, 2013 to change that, otherwise, the entire voting process starts over. Good luck with that.

  • The Washington Capitals re-signed RFA John Carlson to a 6-year, $23.8M contract days after extending Troy Brouwer for 3-years, $11M. Not a lot of wasteful government spending going on it D.C. right now. Great deals. (Washington Captials)
