If you just click on the Caps link, I'm Rob Carlin, Tarek El-Vashir, J.J. Regan here,

as we're about two and a half weeks or so from the start of training camp.

And the end of our lives.

The end of our lives.

It's fun, but it gets crazy.

Hold on for dear life until April or May or hopefully June.

Hopefully June.

And it's funny because today's Tuesday to 29th and on Monday the 28th, I texted Tarek and I said, Mojo's skating with the caps? Isn't that odd? I said, hey, why don't you come in? Let's do a podcast. And we were all set to do it and said, you know what? Orlov's supposed to be here tomorrow and Coozy's supposed to be here tomorrow. Let's wait a a day and then the whole world changes when the

two comes out that ovi's here in august and looking skinnier and you had to confirm through

kuznetsoff that he was in fact skinnier my own eyeballs confirmed it when i saw him yesterday i

left ketler later than most of the other reporters

I was working on some other stuff and I would say around 2.30 I was walking out to my car

and Ovi had pulled I just pulled up in his car right into the front on the upper level of

Kettler and he got out and I said hey Alex hey Tark

you know but he was clearly in a hurry I had a pair of skates and some other stuff in his hands

and he went into the door and the first thing I thought of was wow he looked thinner like

not like 20 pounds thinner but you could see just he just looked thinner he was wearing kind of a shirt that was a little more form fitting.
