The Washington Capitals are the 12th-worst team in the NHL and could take some figurative TNT to their roster over the next two weeks. So let’s turn our attention to one of the very best teams in the American Hockey League, the Hershey Bears, who may supply some players to the Capitals’ roster in the coming weeks.
The Bears were asked an interesting question from their social media team: Who is the most famous person in your phone, and do they pick up if you call them?
Some answered seriously and others joked around. The video is a good barometer of how many likable characters the team has.
