So, my earlier post outlining all the Caps injuries; add Chris Clark to the list. The Caps captain hasn't come close to living up to his 2006-7 30 goal season...I forgive you if you thought he was already injured, for he has been almost non-existent on the ice this season. The former Calgary Flame missed 64 games due to injuries last year and apparently he will be missing some more this year. To elaborate on my thoughts from earlier, why not put Clark on the LTIR list and call up a young lad or two from Hershey who would play hard day in and day out trying to earn a roster spot? According to HockeyBuzz.com, Clark's salary takes up close to $2.4 million in cap room, which would leave just enough room to call up coveted defenseman Karl Alzner ($1.675 million) and Sami Lepisto ($700,000). This assuming Fedorov is back soon, which would make up for the lost forward in Clark. In a perfect world this would be how things happened, but then again, if we lived in a perfect world, Clark would be contributing like he did two years ago and the Caps would be injury free.

It sounds like you might get your wish with Chris Clark since 4 players were called up from Hershey. Going to be an interesting game tonight. Good luck with your class assignment and check out my Pass Shoot Score blog. It's listed on the Caps page.
