Not Happy About This

A video can tell a thousand words.

We don’t like head shots or having players trying to hurt other players.

I was saddened when I saw this play unfold last night.

Players need to respect one another.

I have no idea why this play didn’t draw a penalty.

Officials are human and they make mistakes because the game moves fast but I thought this was a pretty blatant penalty with intent to injure.

I am pleased that we won last night 2 to 1. It did feel like a playoff game in terms of intensity and in terms of playing a tight checking game.

We now have won 50 games back to back that is a first in franchise history.

We now have 112 points. That is most in our history and 8 up over San Jose in the race for the President’s Trophy. We are 5 -2 and 3 in our last 10 games. Chill and keep the faith.

USO USA

The Washington Capitals have a very close working association with the USO.

In fact the USO Chief Sloan Gibson and his lovely wife came to the Caps game with us last evening.

Also last night NBC news locally highlighted a wonderful story about how we helped reunite a military family at the game as well. Very heartwarming!

And now Snagfilms has done a nice venture with the USO as well.

Here are a bunch of military and globally themed films that the USO and Snagfilms will be offering to military personnel around the world. It is filled with special messages and an easy way to support the USO as a charitable concern.

Give to it feels good. Support our military families. Support the USO.
