they dropped the puck on the regular season thursday night. players are ready to pick up right where they left off. that fact plus last year's defense, the capitals are the team. it was media day, a day that they all seem to enjoy. some old faces, new faces, and they feel good. the capitals were on the ice this morning. there's alex. he had just friended you, by the way. this team is so excited after making it all the way as far as they did. it's only left them hungrier to perform this season. their popularity has soared, and now is the time to capitalize. >> those windows, when you're a hockey team, don't open very often, so you have to take advantage of it. so we're looking forward to hopefully getting off on the right foot. there's great fans here, and whether it be baseball, otball, hockey, soccer, or

whatever, we're just hoping we captivate them all. >> i can't imagine like five years ago, coming here to the u.s., and when you drive somewhere, and you like go to the shop, nobody knows who it is. right now everybody knows it's the capitals, and, you know, i think friends -- we do a nice job, too. >> alex, the key to the city, he has fans on facebook. he's arrived. we're going to get to the bottom of this. i want to know in gilbert arhine gna arenas. e. and the wizards are going through a training camp with a new coach. flip saunders last night brought in a hypnotist to surprise the team. guys were doing whatever he asked, including barking like dogs. mick young was running around

defensive player. he won. it's an accolade that you could say adds salt to the wound of what's been less than a par defensive performance from the redskins so far. he is worth truly the seven-year million dollar deal if he can stay healthy. he's a game changer, nobody can argue that. he found matthew stafford easy for the second quarter sack, but this is the last thing the redskins wanted to see. he suffered a strained glute, had to be taken off the field on a cart. no one was more frustrated. he says the word "potential" means nothing. it's all about what you can do on the field. >> always growing up, i always heard that you have a bunch of potential, but it isn't nothing until you turn it into something. and this team, we've got potential, but that means nothing. we've got talent, but that means nothing. this is a team game. if we don't play as a team together, and as a good team, we

won't be anywhere. >> this week is even more disappointing, because we didn't even get the win. that's what you play for, the win. to come off that field in detroit and not get a win, a win we felt like we needed to have, it's frustrating. deangelo hall and the redskins will be back on the field tomorrow preparing for tampa bay. last night the los angeles angels of anaheim won the division. this win was especially meaningful. the team has been through an emotional roller coaster, because they lost team nick aiden heart at the denhart. they were pouring beer on the jersey of their former teammate, nick adenhart. a good gesture by the angels, but likely not the most appropriate team to pour beer,

considering he was killed by a drunk driver. their hearts obviously in the right place, but a big deal for the team that's been going through a lot. thanks, lindsay. coming up on our broadcast, an entire school district has been shut down because of the swine flu.
