Locked On Capitals - Daily Podcast On The Washington Capitals

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about three platers at Capitals rookie camp that have shown the most improvement. Hendrix Lapierre worked on his skating in the off season and hired a mental coach. In 60 regular-season games with Hershey, Lapierre had 15 goals and 15 assists. "I was more focused on just moving properly and speed and stuff like that. We knew that if I was only training for seven weeks, weightlifting, stuff, we didn’t have much time to kind of go through the phases. So it was about moving properly, feeling good on the ice, whether it’s hand-eye coordination or just my face-offs," Lapierre explained. "I think at the start, I was a little surprised of what we were doing. But as the summer kind of went on, I was like, ‘Okay, I’m suddenly feeling really, really good.’ And then, I guess this is just like a continuation of what I’ve been doing, I try to do the same exercise in the gym too. So I guess maybe a little less like weightlifting and stuff like that, more". Later Dan talks about Alexander Suzdalev For the Regina Pats last season he lead his fellow freshmen in scoring in 2022-23. "He's a really smart player and you watch him shoot the puck out here today and he's got a really good shot, too, but it was a little bit light," Mahoney explained added. "[We wanted him to] get a little bit stronger, being able to be better in holding a position in front of the net for deflections or winning more puck battles in the corners, those sorts of things. He's always had the skating and the skill and the sense, but he was a little bit light, little bit thin. So strength was an issue for him." IN the last segment Dan talks about ANdrew Cristall was the 18-year-old, who was taken 40th overall in the 2023 NHL Draft Cristall hired a power skating coach to help his game. There's an extra step in his step and should help him with his speed and overall skating.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Caps rookie camp and who stood out. The Caps took turns taking shots on goaltenders Mitchell Gibson, Clay Stevenson, Garin Bjorklund and Antoine Keller. Lapierre said he was working on his skating and his overall movement this summer Iorio also looked impressive, he's skating much faster. Something he said he wanted to work on Ivan Miroshnichenko was in top form and solidified my opinion that he would very well join the capitals at some point this season.

Later Dan talks about how even Tom Wilson can get insecure. Before his contract was signed this summer all the trade talk got to him, and he had to reach out to the Capitals PR and figure out what's going on.

In the last segment Dan talks about the trade deadline this season. The impact it's had on previous Capitals seasons and the impact it could have on this season.

In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the 13th annual National Hockey League Players’ Association Rookie Showcase on September 5 at MedStar Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Virginia. The highlight of the event was the number one overall pick in this year's NHL draft Connor Bedard. Connor who had 71 goals and 143 points in just 57 games for Regina last season. Connor had some kind words for Alex Ovechkin and commented on Ovechkin's chase of Wayne Gretzky for all time goals scored: "I think he gets it. Two years I give him, but yeah, it's pretty crazy that he's scored that many goals," Bedard said. "I mean, just to kind of be watching it in the past couple years, obviously got 800, and then you know, passed Howe and everything, so it's just pretty cool to see. If he breaks it, it's special for the whole game." Late Dan talks about the well-attended informal skate today. Ovechkin joins Nicklas Backstrom, John Carlson, Darcy Kuemper, Alex Alexeyev, T.J. Oshie, Dylan Strome, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Nic Dowd, Joel Edmundson, Nick Jensen, Vincent Iorio, Andrew Cristall, Lucas Johansen, Joe Snively, Alexander Suzdalev, Alex Limoges were in attendance. In the final segment Dan talks about Spencer Carbery and his thoughts on Nick Backstrom.

In this edition of Locked on Capitala Dan talks about Alex Ovechkin's goal chase and how he doesn't really know to respond when he's asked in almost every interview when he thinks he's going to catch and then pass Wayne Gretzky. It will happen when it happens and Alex himself isn't even sure he'll be able to do it. He's had some health setbacks that could stand in his way. Ovechkin will be 38 later this month, age and injury is a concern. Later we talk about how Ovechkin is headed back to the US after spending a majority of the off-season in Russia. He said that he's prepared and ready to help the Capitals make another push for a Stanley Cup.
