There were a lot of good doggos that entered in the 145th Westminster Dog Show, but in our opinion, there was only one that we could qualify as simply sensational.
During Sunday night’s airing of the event, a beautiful Irish Setter named Ovechkin was introduced to the world.
Washington Capitals defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler roomed with veteran blueliner Tyler Lewington during his time with the AHL Hershey Bears. During the 2017-18 season, the two roomies decided to make an addition to their family.
“We bought a dog down there,” Siegenthaler said on the Capitals Talk podcast in September 2019. “It was pretty spontaneous. It was a little pomsky. I always wanted a dog so we bought one.”
Monday, Siegenthaler showed off Odey’s rain gear before taking it on a walk in his native Switzerland.
The Capitals’ team pup, Captain, celebrated his first birthday on Wednesday.
And the Caps went all out for their furriest friend.
The Washington Capitals introduced us to Captain, their ridiculously adorable new puppy, on October 5, 2019. 48,000 Twitter followers and 26 RMNB stories later, Captain has been voted the NHL’s Best Team Dog in the 2020 Fan Choice Awards.
Captain won with 22 percent of the vote defeating nine other dogs including Montreal’s Flambo (16.4%) and the NY Islanders’ Tori (12.7%).

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.

Washington Capitals forward Brendan Leipsic did something incredible today.
He surprised his grandmother with a new puppy on National Puppy Day. This is the content we crave on this Very Important holiday.
Tom Wilson and girlfriend Taylor Pischke have a new addition to their family. The couple just adopted a new puppy named Halle. The eight-week-old black lab mix is a rescue puppy from Wolf Trap Animal Rescue.
Tom and Taylor brought the very adorable Halle over to BASH on Tuesday to meet with employees during the Capitals’ day off. Wilson is an investor in the trendy Arlington boxing studio.

TSN’s pregame show ahead of the Montreal Canadiens game had some, uh, extra bite to it.
A bulldog randomly wandered onto the stage as hosts Tessa Bonhomme and analyst Pierre LeBrun previewed the Habs’ tilt against the Philadelphia Flyers.
A winter storm dropped several inches of snow around the Washington DC area on Tuesday, marking the first significant snowfall of the season.
Washington Capitals’ puppy, Captain, did not waste any time jumping outside to enjoy the weather. It marked Captain’s first snow day.
The Vegas Golden Knights shut out the Calgary Flames 6-0 on Sunday. But the most notable part of the game was less about the people that took the ice and more about the dog that ambled onto it.
Benny The Ice Skating Dog was featured during the second intermission of the game and this precious canine was an instant fan favorite.
It’s easy to see why.
