The Capstronaut landed in the owner’s box last night with his glowing multimedia fan blowing full speed inside his suit to keep cool.
Did you know he can’t go to the bathroom during a game; that he doesn’t talk as he must remain “in character”; and that he loves the Caps and he does this all for you, our fans?
He has a great winning record at home. He is considering going to games on the road, by space shuttle I assume.
It was wonderful and fun to host him in our box. He is a true Americana hero!
Did you know that the Capitals have played the least amount of home games so far of any team in the East? I bet you didn’t and doesn’t that make our record more impressive?
We are now home for a nice stretch to even the schedule out. Of course the one away game will be in Pittsburgh. We have quite a stretch - Philly and Detroit at home – followed by Pittsburgh. What a week is coming up. Old time hockey.
Last night we won 6-1 in front of another total and crazed sellout crowd.
We needed to beat Toronto as they play us tough and they are a scrappy team. They beat us pretty good the last game that we played.
They do what they always do when they get blown out: Try to hurt someone to prove they are tough and up and coming to their coach and GM but they aren’t. They are just a team with a 16-29-9 record with 41 points, second to last in the East. As someone once said, ”You are what your record says you are.” Their own coach said they looked like “deer in the headlights.”
Alex Ovechkin had a fun night with 5 points. He is now second in the NHL in scoring. He has 62 points. He has played 8 games less than the league leader who has 64 points. He is third in goals scored and he is second in plus/minus. I think the fans can chant “MVP! MVP!” once again.
Jason Chimera continues to impress. So far the trade has turned out quite well for us. He is big, strong, fast and productive. And he plays with “jam.” We are very happy he has joined our lineup.
I look forward to see you all on Sunday. The Flyers will be flying out there. It will be a great test. Go Caps!
