Pepper and Russell are back as the boys have officially commenced the 2011-2012 season.  Can we expect the team to be lifting the Cup come June?  We'll talk to Corey Masisak of NHL.com on the Caps prospects for the season and other news from around the league.  We also talk with Capitals forward Jay Beagle about off-season training and getting an expanded role with the team this year.  Check back here, twitter @JapersRinkRadio, and the facebook page for show updates.  

Rookie camp for your Washington Capitals kicked off yesterday, and Pepper and Russell begin to preview the Caps' Southeast Division rivals, and what to focus on during division matchups in 2011-12.  The Winnipeg Jets will be the last SE team that the Caps will face for the first time (on November 17th) in the new campaign, but the first that we'll preview. Both nostalgic thoughts and immediate returns are the focus as we welcome Ed Tait of the Winnipeg Free Press to the show, to discuss how the Jets might match up against the Caps in their six tilts this season, the status of recent ex-Cap Eric Fehr, how the Jets team plans to manage its brutal travel schedule, the franchise's new identity, and more.  Check for show updates here, on twitter @JapersRinkRadio, and on the facebook page.
