The world is on pause, and so we find ourselves with time at last to ponder the big questions. By overwhelming popular demand, here comes Not Up For Debate, our most popular series ever.
In this episode: What beloved animals from the internet would the 2019-20 Caps be?
Nicklas Backstrom, Theo the Bulldog
Dominates his obsession (be it a hockey puck or a bowl) with absolute control.
Travis Boyd, Pompous Albert
Albert doesn’t do much, but he’s such a striking presence, I’m glad he’s here.
John Carlson, Mork
Such a strange creature. You don’t want there to be more Morks, but the Mork you’ve got sure is special.
Brenden Dillon, Bark Andre Furry

Though he came from another team, he’s just so lovable.
Nic Dowd, any Scottish Highland cattle
I think it’s the curly hair?
Lars Eller, Grumpy Cat
Never seems like he’s having fun, but I’m told that he is.
Radko Gudas, Zeus the Stubborn Husky
Ornery and obstinate, but such a striking specimen.
Carl Hagelin, The Dog From the Ducktales Haircut Video
Garnet Hathaway, Buggy
A bit too rambunctious from time to time. Self-appointed cop.
Braden Holtby, Ovie The Bulldog
I bet you thought Ovie the Bulldog would be someone else. Nope. It’s Braden. I’ve met Ovie. Trust me.
Nick Jensen, Walter the French Bulldog
I think he serves a very import support role, but sometimes he draws attention in the worst way.
Michal Kempny, Fiona the Hippo
A very special person who needed a helping hand and is now ready to thrive.
Ilya Kovalchuk, Cinderblock
It’s tough coming back from adversity, but we’re rooting for both Cinderblock and Kovy (whose adversity is just being old I guess?)
Evgeny Kuznetsov, Thurston Waffles
An unrepentant troublemaker, but I can’t help but love him.
Brendan Leipsic, Roger the Kangaroo
RIP to a real one.
Dmitry Orlov, Pickle the Pig

I think it’s the smiles?
T.J. Oshie, Lil Bub
Fun fact about me is I put on Lil Bub’s Yule Log videos every holiday season. I think a Christmas with the Oshies would be just as wholesome. The positive energy abounds.
Alex Ovechkin, Montgomery Twix

Monty is such a special person. He’s so pure; it’s impossible not to love him and wish the best for him.
Richard Panik, Gidget (Taco Bell)
Gidget was a one-trick chihuahua (RIP btw), and Panik can be just as loved if he can keep the stick shooting.
Ilya Samsonov, C*****d
I’m not allowed to say this dog’s name on RMNB, but I love him.
Jonas Siegenthaler, Juniper
A fox.
Jakub Vrana, Marnie
I feel like Vrana approaches every game like Marnie turning a corner: dopily smiling, head tilted, ready for some fun.
Tom Wilson, Mr. Bubz
“Yeah I got you. I got this on camera.”
Though the series is called Not Up For Debate, I’m leaving the comments open. So you can compliment me. For the very good picks. Appreciate the congrats.
