I’m getting in a Bar Battle with Alan May this Friday to raise money for The Bahamas Disaster Relief Fund

Hi, I’m here to notify you that you now have plans for Friday night. And anything else you thought you were doing is now canceled.

I am, in the words of Alan May, coming out of mom’s basement to compete in a Bar Battle with, in the words of May again, the most tan, the most handsome, and the most captivating analyst in hockey media, Alan May.

When we’re not chirping or threatening bodily harm at each other, we are going to make you drinks at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern to help raise money for The Bahamas Disaster Relief Fund. I am told I will be “making” $6 Great 8 cocktails and Alan will be pouring $6 Optimal Wit pints from 8 – 9:30pm. Whoever gets more of their signature drink ordered and served, wins not only the night but full bragging rights for the rest of time. RSVP here.

And I promise, if I win, I will never forget.

‘Just put tape on that’: Alan May supervises, criticizes rink repair

Washington’s 2-1 loss to Minnesota was a low-key affair. Brett Connolly scored the Caps’ lone goal, his 21st of the season, in an otherwise light-on-highlights night.

But a stoppage in play in the third period gave us some levity. Helping call the game from between the benches, relentless troll and NBC Sports analyst Alan May did play-by-play for some rink maintenance.

Alan May definitely thinks the Capitals are going through a Stanley Cup hangover

The Washington Capitals fell to the weary Arizona Coyotes 4-1 at Capital One Arena Sunday night. The Coyotes played the night before against the Pittsburgh Penguins while the Capitals had a day of rest.

“Overall this wasn’t our best effort,” Nicklas Backstrom said.

“Just that little extra seems to be lacking,” John Carlson added to the Washington Post’s Isabelle Khurshudyan. “Just call it a little blah. We’re just a little blah right now.”

NBC Sports Washington analyst Alan May took his evaluation of the team a step further, indicating the Caps seem uninspired due to a Stanley Cup hangover.

The Capitals won in San Jose during regulation for the first time since October 30, 1993

The Washington Capitals’ 2-0 win against the San Jose Sharks on Saturday was sleepy, but it was also historic.

According to the New York Times, the Capitals had not won in regulation at San Jose since their first trip to the Shark Tank on October 30, 1993.

That’s an insane 25 years, folks. I was eight-years-old.
