What to do if you see a fawn separated from its mother

Saturday, several people in my neighborhood found a fawn laying under a tree near our playground. The adorable newborn looked exhausted and I worried it was abandoned. I had never seen a fawn away from its mother. We stayed away and asked for advice from a professional.

After consulting my cousin Ian who’s an environmentalist, he told us that it’s actually normal for newborns to be separated from mom during the day. He said to leave it alone and advised it’s especially important not to touch or move the fawn.

This was news to me and I figured it would be news to many of you so I wanted to share with you guys what I learned.

Braden Holtby made ‘The Save’ two years ago to the day

Two years ago, the turning point of the 2018 Stanley Cup Final happened late in Game Two. Braden Holtby reached out with his stick and made a miraculous save on Alex Tuch with two minutes remaining in Game Two.

“People ask me a lot about The Save in Game Two,” Holtby said in the Players’ Tribune. “And for a while, I didn’t really know how to answer. Because you’re not supposed to be in that position in the first place. You never want to be in that position, where you’re making a save in desperation. When I reached out with my stick, he had to shoot it exactly where I thought he’d shoot it. There’s luck involved, for sure.”

After losing Game One, the Capitals would hold on to win Game Two and win four straight games overall, winning the Stanley Cup in Game Five.

Happy Imagine Dragons Curse day

Today is May 30, two years to the day since Game Two of the 2018 Stanley Cup Final, a.k.a the one where Braden Holtby made The Save, a.k.a. that time when two-time Stanley Cup Champion Brooks Orpik scored the first game-winning goal in a Stanley Cup Final in Washington Capitals franchise history.

But I prefer to think of it as the day of the Imagine Dragons Curse.

New ice laid down at MedStar Capitals Iceplex

MedStar Capitals Iceplex, the Washington Capitals’ practice facility, has been closed to the public since March 24 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But Thursday, six members of the staff relaid the ice and re-painted the rink on the Capitals side. It’s another sign that hockey may be back soon.

“We don’t know when we will be allowed to reopen for skating activities but until then…,” the facility wrote on social media.

Over the last two days, the MCI Facebook has shared the ice’s progress via time-lapses.
