Around the internets

Little bit of late start today, so you probably already know everything Caps related happening on the inter-tubes. That said, I trek on:

Tarik talks about Ovie being excluded from the All Star game (he has a title on this article that makes me want to go "Shazam!" after reading it.). Injury update from him:

Forwards Alexander Semin (tailbone) and Michael Nylander (shoulder) said they intend to play tonight against the Colorado Avalanche, and Matt Pettinger should be available after leaving Monday's practice early because of an undisclosed injury. Right wing Chris Clark (groin) has been ruled out.

Be sure to read his piece today for an update on Eric Fehr.

Corey looks at the Caps losing record on home ice:

"Teams are probably coming into our building and going, 'Oh, they are under .500. This might be an opportunity for us to win,' " Kolzig said. "We are playing better, but still teams look your overall home record and say, 'They're not playing that well at home.' "

In other hockey news:

Anyone see the Mike Green shout out in the "Plus/Minus" section of this week's The Hockey News? Very cool.

Ovie confirms that rumor about an offer from the SuperLeague, and that he has no intention of going there. I'll say this again: Alex Ovechkin isnt going anywhere. His contract negotiations might be ongoing, but GMGM and Uncle Ted are never gonna let him go.

Chris Chelios hits a milestone.

Interesting read about hockey in Cali.

Carey Price has been sent to the minors.
