It never ends, and I’m sorta okay with that. Today in #ALSIceBucketChallenge news, Capitals coach Barry Trotz and fashion maven Joe Beninati took the plunge. Monumental Network video’d the whole thing. It’s quite a production.
The promotion so far has raised over $40 million to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Participants who get dumped on donate $10; those who fail to meet the challenge (e.g. me) donate $100.
I mention this because I consider what Joe and Barry did cheating. They dipped into the pool right after they got soaked, which means they were only chilly for like two seconds, tops. That’s not enough. So I think they should pony up another $90. Your thoughts?
Pretty pictures below.
UPDATE 4:45 PM: Caps Media Relations Manager Page Sagester says there was no cheating involved.
@russianmachine Wasn't cheating – they were standing in a cold tub full of ice water.

@russianmachine Whole thing. And Coach kept adding ice. Watch closely- they're both struggling through the intro because they're freezing.

We are unable to confirm the report as we have not yet been invited to swim in the Caps’ hot cold tub.
