A Stanley Cup Champions Chalk Talk: Spend an evening with Alex Ovechkin, Tom Wilson, and Lars Eller at MGM National Harbor

You guys, it’s Valentine’s Day and I think you should spend time with your one true love: the Washington Capitals.

On Monday, February 25th, Fanatics is hosting a unique event with four crucial members of the 2018 Stanley Cup champion team.

The GOAT Alex Ovechkin, Mr. Game 5 Lars Eller, and Tom Wilson will be participating in a Chalk Talk at MGM National Harbor that night while Devante Smith-Pelly will be hanging out with VIPs and mingling with guests at a cocktail hour. Last and least importantly, I will be there too and you have permission to either high five or hiss at me!

Fanatics has three packages available for the event, which I detail below, and they are perfect for either the superfan or the super chill Caps supporter in your life. But me personally? I think the awesome signed memorabilia, chatting with DSP, and a once in a lifetime photo opportunity will create memories that last forever.
