Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner appears to have a new playoff routine and it’s pretty adorable.
During warmups of each home playoff game so far, Alzner has been spotted giving a good luck wave or kiss to his daugther Stella.
Remember last year when I wrote about the Budweiser Goal Light? The $159.99 goal light connects to your wi-fi and goes off when there’s a real-life Capitals goal.
Well tonight, the first 10,000 people in attendance of Game Two, will be receiving free Budweiser goal light beer cups. The beer cups will light up after every Caps goal. It’s the first time these cups have been offered in the United States (please someone get me one).
The red light puck at the base works via Bluetooth and RFID technology.
The Washington Capitals had a slow start against a plucky team of Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night. That better not happen again, as the Caps only have home-ice advantage for Saturday’s game, then it’s off to Ontario. Wouldn’t it be nice if the Caps had a two-game lead when they get there?
Puck drop at 7 PM at Verizon Center. Game’s on CSN. I’ve got recap duty.
Caps lead the series 1-0.
