Roster excitement

Per Caps PR, the rosters are out:

Thirty rookies will participate in rookie camp, which begins this Saturday, Sept. 8, and runs through Wednesday, Sept. 12, when the rookies travel to Philadelphia to scrimmage the Flyers’ rookies.

Training camp begins Friday, Sept. 14 when 38 veterans – 24 of whom saw action for the Capitals last season – will join selected rookies to get ready for the upcoming 2007-08 NHL season.

I'm glad to see Luke Lynes' name on the rookie camp list. His whole family was here in July supporting him, and his little brothers were just so darn cute, wearing Lynes' Brampton jersey.

I'm curious to see how some of the unfamiliar names on the training camp roster are going to do; if there will be any pleasant surprises. But more than anything, I look forward to seeing the boys on the ice again.
