Riddled with injuries, the Washington Capitals called up 4 from the Hershey Bears (http://dcprosportsreport.com/?p=1973), including three pretty good prospects, one of which is their 2007 first round draft pick, Karl Alzner.

He really did not deserve to be sent to Hershey, given how well he played in the preseason, but it was more of a salary cap thing than anything. The Caps are just beat up and needed reenforcements. I also think Tyler Sloan deserve to stay on the roster for the season as well. Once that Caps get healthy, I would rather see Sloan stay and get rid of Jurcina.
I was at the Bears game two Saturdays ago when they beat Philly 7-3. We'll have to meet up for a game one of the days.

Shippensburg
Here is some clarification. Chris Clark and Jeff Schultz were both placed on long term injured reserve, meaning Clark is gone for at least 10 games. Clark hasn't played well at all this year and his presence won't be missed that much. Bourque is likely up for him. Mink is likely in place of Boyd Gordon who will miss a few games.
What is unclear. If Lepisto or Alzner is up for Schultz, because whichever is, will be up for at least 4 weeks.

I do. I usually try and makes at least 2 games, this year though, none,. I am taking the Bar Exam in July, so I have bar prep cop=urses to save for, so this year was not a prime year. We usually go down and get tailgate passes as well.
I am hoping next season we can have a theWarpath/DCPSR joint tailgate!

Is Alzner playing tonight? I'm going to my first Caps game in a couple of years and it'd be pretty cool to get to see his debut.

Yes. All four Hershey Call ups are on Lines tonight because of injuries. Alzner will be paired with Jurcina. Lepisto with Morrisonn.
