Before morning skate on Saturday, Florida-based Caps fan Jenna (@oddwomanrush) ran into CSN Washington color commentator Craig Laughlin. That’s when some social media magic happened. I’ll let Jenna explain.
I live near Tampa, and I was downtown this morning with a friend and my nieces. We saw Locker walking down the street towards Amalie Arena. We greeted each other (I was wearing a Caps hoodie). I asked him if I could have a picture with him, and he said sure. Then I said “Let’s take a selfie” and moved into position beside him.
Laughlin asked, “How does this work? I’ve never taken a selfie before.”
I said “First you have to put your arm around me…”, so he did, and then he squeezed my shoulder. I responded, “Look at you – you’re a natural.”
After I took the picture and looked at it, I asked if that was really his first selfie and he said it was. I said “Woo! Maybe I’ll be on Russian Machine Never Breaks!” and Locker responded, “Yeah! Send it to Ian! Selfie Sunday!”
So I did.
Okay, so that’s great. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that Caps-related celebrities are calling their shots to be on the website, but I’m totally down with it.
Now I know Jenna feels good and everything. She got the first ever Craig Laughlin selfie. But has she bought The Craig Laughlin his first ever Natty Boh? No, she has not.
So I still am the coolest.
