Marcus Johansson to center Alex Ovechkin and Mike Knuble
It seems like the season will start with Marcus Johansson centering Alex Ovechkin and Mike Knuble, and, who knows, maybe this will be the permanent line. Mike Knuble, in spite of his age of 39, led Group A in the last suicide sprint (Great Eight has won the first two). This line will be flying!
TarikElBashir: 39 year old Knuble just led that segment of the test, edging Laich, Ovi and Semin. Boudreau approved.I'd say, Marcus Johansson is the most creative center Caps have.
Katie Carrera, Capitals Insider:
“Marcus played so well at the end of the year and I thought he had good chemistry with Alex at the end of the year, so we just wanted to see how much he grew over the summer,” Boudreau continued. “Not physically or anything, but mentally having that year under his belt. I thought they made a couple pretty good plays out there today, this morning. It will be interesting to see how they play together.”Two most exciting Caps forwards on one line, is it October yet?

I was at KCI on Saturday to watch the grueling practice and those sprints were crazy. The guys looked like they were going to puke.
I took some video of Ovi and Mojo's groups, including the one where Ovi started early and fell down, lol.
Can you post on YouTube and send a link so that I will add to this post? Thanks in advance, appreciate!
I don't usually agree with Pierre McGuire, but during one of the Caps playoff games he commented that Ovie shouldn't be centered by Backstrom anymore, he should skate with Mojo. It will be very interesting to see the 8-90-22 line this season. Also, I read somewhere that MoJo put on some weight during the offseason without losing any speed, another factor in his favor.
Ok, here's the short one, Sorry for the shot of my shoes but I was laughing ;-)

This was the last endurance test before they took their lactate readings to measure how they held up. They pretty much looked ready to puke that point.
Thank you very very much! Now people can actually see this test and how hard it was...
tack så mycket
