You might remember that last year the Caps, because of our urging, got a dog. Captain is that dog and he is perfect. We are close, personal friends who have never met.
Today, Captain (my friend) needs your help. This is important.
Please vote for Captain as the NHL’s best team dog in the NHL Fan Choice Awards.

A dog facetiming one of its hooman friends is fun enough. When that dog is Captain and the person is Alex Ovechkin, that’s when the magic happens.
Saturday, Captain’s Twitter account posted a video of the Caps’ pup contacting his “best bud.”
When we first met Captain, he was tiny. Now, after growing seemingly exponentially, he is lörge and has neck rolls for days.
Captain showed off his doughy chin droppings earlier this week on social media.
Sunday marked Easter across the world. And despite the coronavirus pandemic keeping most inside, families found a way to still keep the Easter traditions alive.
For instance, the Oshies held an Easter egg hunt this morning with Lyla and Leni.
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of The Office, Capitals’ puppy Captain starred in a fun remake of the iconic show’s opening credits.
The 33-second video shows Captain traveling to his “office” at MedStar Capitals Iceplex. His pawsitively perfect outfit includes a collar and tie.
The show is re-named The Dog Office.
There were a lot of important things that happened last night. Alex Ovechkin was honored for scoring 700 goals, Ilya Kovalchuk made his Capitals debut, and the Caps won in the shootout.
But behind the scenes, something else momentous happened.
You guys, Ovi Jr met Captain.
The Washington Capitals introduced the world to Captain on October 5. The 10-week-old male yellow Labrador, adopted from America’s VetDogs, was more than a handful then, but now he’s a full-on chunky monkey.
To celebrate #TransformationTuesday, Captain shared photos to his Instagram account (his paws have impressive dexterity) to show how much he’s grown over the last four months.
The Washington Capitals are led by one of the greatest goal-scorers of all-time and the first Russian to ever captain a team to a Stanley Cup, Alex Ovechkin. The Great 8 has captained Washington over the last decade-plus, but waiting in the wings, according to multiple teammates, is Tom Wilson.
“You could see the raw physicality and the skating,” goaltender Braden Holtby said to NHL.com’s Ben Raby. “But he was also one of those guys that once he got here, even when he was a rookie, you could tell that he was meant to be a captain in this league.

In December 2019, Washington Capitals majority owner Ted Leonsis and his wife Lynn made a commitment to their Monumental Sports partners and friends to sponsor a second service dog through the foundation in 2020.
On Thursday, that dog arrived. Everyone, meet Scout!
