Hockey fans rarely get an opportunity to tailgate before games, so when a game moves to a football stadium with outdoor parking lots, you need to take advantage. Before the Caps take on the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, RMNB is hosting a tailgate and meetup for friends who are attending the game (weather permitting).

The Capitals Stadium Series game is less than two days away and one store is making its final push to sell outdoor game merch.
On Wednesday, Dick’s Sporting Goods published a huge sale on Caps Stadium Series jerseys. The authentic Adidas Stadium Series sweaters of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and Braden Holtby are half off.
The rumors are true: RMNB is throwing a tailgate party for the Stadium Series game between the Caps and Toronto Maple Leafs this Saturday at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. We’ll announce more details later this week, but I had to share this quick story of how the flags we’re flying over the festivities reconnected me with a fondly remembered past.
We had procrastinated on deciding whether to have flags made at all, so by the time we decided to do it last week, I needed to find a place that could turn them around quickly. I did what anyone would do and Googled “custom flags,” reviewing a few of the early results and settling on a site called BestFlag because it was easy to use, the prices seemed competitive, and they promised a standard production time of two days, which meant we’d get the flags in time for the game.
We got the artwork ready and I placed an order for one large flag with the infamous Russian machine avatar, and a smaller one with the iconic RMNB letters. A few hours later I got an email with the proofs for approval, and you’re not going to believe who sent it (unless you read the headline already).

Next Saturday’s Stadium Series game will be short one superstar. Months after promotions including Alex Ovechkin and Auston Matthews, the latter will have to sit the game out.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have announced center Auston Matthews is expected to miss at least ten days due to a shoulder injury suffered during Thursday’s 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders.

On Tuesday, work began on the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in preparation for the Stadium Series game. Annapolis mayor Gavin Buckley joined NHL Deputy Commissioner, Bill Daly, and US Naval Academy Superintendent, VADM Walter E. “Ted” Carter at a news conference to mark the occasion.
During the press gaggle, Mayor Buckley gave Nathan Walker a shoutout, and made a plea to the Capitals to call the Aussie back up to the big leagues. Buckley’s fondness for the first Australian in the NHL wasn’t random, however.
“I know you think I probably sound like I was born in Maryland, but I wasn’t. I am originally from Australia,” Buckley said, a little tongue-in-cheek.

Saturday morning, the Toronto Maple Leafs officially unveiled their Stadium Series jersey design and it’s a beaut. The design pays tribute to the Royal Canadian Navy.
The Leafs will wear all white – white jerseys, white pants, white gloves, white socks, and white helmets – with trims of navy blue.
Take a closer look.
The Washington Capitals’ Stadium Series shirts are making their way into the official team store at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. The are lookin’ preeeetty snazzy, but there is one small detail that we couldn’t help but notice on the team’s Stadium Series roster tee.
