So last night I went to the Official Capitals’ Away-Party at the Glory Days Grill in Gainesville, Va. Even though I have noticed that there are several Glory Days locations popping up around the area, I had never been to one before last night.
Slapshot
Caps Recap 1.26.10
What kind of week did the Washington Capitals have this week? One word; Epic.
Here’s a few things to start off with. Did you know that the Caps have scored four or more goals in all but two of their eleven games this month? The Caps faced down Detroit (who even though banged up is always a dangerous opponent), Pittsburgh, and Phoenix. The Caps scored 13 goals in those three games. They were also 38% on the power play scoring 5 PPG’s on 13 attempts. More impressive, the Caps were flawless on the power-play this week allowing no power-play goals. That’s 0-15 for the Caps’ opponents in the past three games.
Girls beat Boys in Overtime Shootout
Gordon’s stunning game-winner in the shootout pushes Girls past Boys 1-0
The Washington Capital’s Boyd Gordon and team mascot Slapshot visited the Bristow Run Elementary school today. With 180 fifth graders in attendance, you just knew things were going to get rowdy. After some brief silliness from a giant inflatable Slapshot, these kids got down to business with a Q and A with the Capitals’ winger. Good thing I don’t get paid for these blogs or these beat-reporters in training might just put me out of a job.
