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’ 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.
The Washington Capitals won nine out of ten points in their just-ended, five-game road trip. Waiting for the victorious team after their season-long road trip was one very happy, very good dog.
Please now enjoy Captain, the Caps Pup, being reunited with his friends.

On Tuesday, I’m proud to report that the NHL announced that Captain, the Caps’ adorable and sometimes derpy-looking dog, won Hockey Halloween.
The Washington Nationals won eight-straight playoff games after Alex Ovechkin threw out the first pitch in the NLCS. Now they just got more gr8 support from a really, really good doggo.
The Washington Capitals’ puppy, Captain, visited Nats Park and snapped a couple of adorable pics ahead of the first World Series game in Washington DC in 86 years.
He let the Nationals know he’s “in the best shape of my life !!!”
