Washington Capitals majority owner Ted Leonsis ambled on top one of the Capital One Arena’s Olympia ice resurfacers, Friday, for a good promotional cause.
The Capitals are teaming with Giant to allow, you, fellow Caps fan, to take a ride around the ice during intermission. You can now reserve your seat for the 2019-20 season.
If you’re wondering if Alex Ovechkin is just like you, I would like to confirm he totally is.
Wearing a matching brown sweatsuit with the hood up, Ovechkin was caught lurking in the ice cream aisle by his wife Nastya Ovechkina.
C’mon, Nastya. Why are you blowing the man’s cover like this? 😂
The Washington Capitals have announced some news ahead of their White House visit on Monday. The team will only take part in a private tour and meet Donald Trump in the Oval Office. There’ll be no official ceremony or media availability.
The Washington Post’s Isabelle Khurshudyan first reported the news.

Capitals defenseman Michal Kempny left Wednesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning after being dragged awkwardly down to the ice by Cedric Paquette.
Kempny struggled to get over the Capitals bench, and appeared to not put any pressure on his left leg. The Capitals called the injury “lower body” in nature and said Kempny would not return.
After the game, Capitals head coach Todd Reirden gave an update and did not sound particularly optimistic.

Ecenia Kuznetsova will sleep happy tonight.
Her dad, Evgeny Kuznetsov, scored his 20th goal of the season and the 100th of his career Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The last-minute game-tying goal sent one of the best hockey games of the Capitals’ season to overtime.
Kuzy brought back his signature bird celly to celebrate.
“Maybe my best game ever,” Kuznetsov said.
The Caps-Bolts rematch on Wednesday has been a busy affair. The second period saw six goals in 15 minutes, but after that is when stuff really went down.
As Cedric Paquette took Michal Kempny down to the ice, injuring the Capitals defenseman’s leg, Jakub Vrana got in his first career NHL fight with Yanni Gourde.
Kempny looks real bad.

Brett Connolly wasn’t the only Capitals player to hit a big milestone Tuesday against the Devils.
Nicklas Backstrom notched a secondary assist on Tom Wilson’s second-period goal. The assist gave Backstrom 50 on the season.
Tom Wilson has become a Bonafide NHL Goalscorer this season, but that doesn’t mean all of his tallies have been pretty.
For instance, Tuesday, during the Capitals’ 4-1 win over the lowly New Jersey Devils, #TomLineTom scored his 21st goal of the season. He muffed it.
It made him giggle. And giggle some more. The entire goal hug was just a Tom Wilson laugh fest.
Principled, pizza-eating slacker dynamo Brett Connolly has hit a new career high in goals. Thanks to a savvy pass from Christian Djoos and his own commitment to the attack up close, Connolly has hit the twenty-goal milestone.

Hardworking sniper Jakub Vrana just hit the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career, but he appears hungry for more goals.
Monday after practice, The Legend threw on Pheonix Copley’s goalie mask and worked with the team’s defensemen on deflections.
Safety first, y’all.
