All the Caps Back for Spirited Practice Sunday, except the Two Alexes

By Rodger The stands were filled at the Kettler Center Sunday to see the Washington Capitals practice for a couple hours.

Niklaus Backstrom, and Tomas Fleischmann, were back at practice but Captain Alex Ovechkin and Alexander Semin stayed over at Vancouver for Sunday night closing Olympic ceremonies.

It looked like all the Caps are healthy – during the three games preceding the Olympics, Jason Chimera, Shawon Morrison, and Tom Poti were injured and the Caps felt their absence, losing three games in a row.

Coach Boudreau worked the boys hard again, but did spend a large portion of the practice working on plays to clear out the puck out of the defensive zone.

After a pretty grueling practice, Brooks Laich, Bryan Pothier, Jeff Schulz, and Quintin Lang still had time to sign a bunch of autographs for a large number of admiring fans.
