On Saturday, September 17th a large contingent of the Caps organization took over the new Nando’s PERi-PERi in Arlington to help benefit Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation. The players that participated included Andre Burakovsky, Lars Eller, Stanislav Galiev, Nate Schmidt, and Tom Wilson. Additional members that helped out were Caps alumnus Paul Mulvey, PA Announcer Wes Johnson, the Red Rockers, Slapshot, Elliot In The Morning, and CSN’s Caps analysts Craig Laughlin and Courtney Laughlin.
It sure looks like everyone had a great time.
Wes Johnson actually announced orders as they were delivered by Nate Schmidt.

Andre Burakovsky cooked actual food. We have not been emailed any food poisoning stories from our readers so it appears he did a good job.
Stan Galiev learned how to be a waiter.
There were many selfies.
Everyone seemed genuinely thrilled by being so close to the players a few weeks ahead of a new season.
