We’re still in the first half of Development Camp, which means drills and getting-to-know-you exercises as opposed to the later schedule of scrimmage!scrimmage!scrimmage with a brief break for skating assessment. With the drills comes a more relaxed atmosphere amongst the players, and it’s a sentiment that translates well to the captured image. Of course, this being hockey, there will always be degree of competition that never really goes away, resulting in a marvelous array of “thinking/concentrating” faces.
Before letting the photos speak for themselves, however, one quick note – Goaltender Brandon Anderson did not take part in today’s on-ice activities, due to an injury suffered during Monday’s session. Per the Caps, they’ll re-evaluate him on Wednesday to assess whether he’s recovered enough to get back on the ice.
