Hello fellow hockey lovers! My name is Chris Hartley Romero and i will be covering the Caps for the foreseeable future. There is no doubt they are my team and i will do my best to keep those of you who wish to stay informed on all things caps... informed. Excited to get the season going and have my fingers crossed a new CBA is reached sooner rather than later. Now a little bit about myself.. i am 19, have lived in Victoria, BC since i was two and a half but am moving to Red Deer this year to play Jr.B and chase the dream Haven't played a game since christmas of 2009 when i fractured my collarbone for the second time that season. Have been in the fantasy hockey game for maybe six years but have been much more intense over the past two since i haven't been actually playing. Have very solid knowledge of the game and like to do my own scouting. Anyways, that's a little about me.. excited to get the season going and i know you guys are too!

Good stuff Chris! Is this going to be a weekly column, random posts or a seperate site/blog?

Will you be covering just the on ice activities or will you expose info about their prospects?

Best of luck with the Jr.B! I played BB; best 2 years of my hockey ''career''

Great to see the Capitals represented Chris! I'll start of the Q&A with the question everyone is wondering: How do YOU see the Caps' lines shaking out to start?

Chris my boy, don't let me down...

Kidding, have fun with the thread and keep us informed!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, been extremely busy lately so i apologize for my tardiness. I will do my best to cover as much as i possibly can related to the Caps. I won't be on any sort of personal schedule for my posts, when i have anything i believe to be noteworthy, i will do my best to share with y'all, whenever that may be. My biggest enemy this season will be time as ill be busy with hockey, school, and possibly a job. Once i get settled up in Red Deer i imagine ill have more spare time as I just have not had much of it in Vic leading up to my departure. B0ndon, i will answer you question a little closer to the season but i will say this is gonna be the best lineup they have had in a while Cant imagine how strong our top 6 will be once Forsberg and Kuznetsov make the jump... scary.
