It’s Christmas day, and from what I can tell you guys are buried in hockey- and Caps-flavored swag. I hit up the internet to solicit pics of your holiday haul, and you guys totally flooded us. Seems like a whole bunch of you gave or received RMNB shirts, for which we are very grateful. Personally, I got a Caps-branded bottle opener from my sister.
I’m just gonna share the whole thing below so you can peruse all the cool gifts going around. There’s a ton of neat stuff. Enjoy!
