During 1,000 NHL games ceremony, Caps players gave Alex Ovechkin a paid vacation to Barcelona to see Messi play

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Thursday night at Capital One Arena, Alex Ovechkin was honored pregame for playing in his 1,000th career game. Already scoring 600 career goals and tallying over 500 assists this season, Ovechkin reached the one thousand game plateau earlier in the week, April 1, against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Due to traffic and long lines entering the building, Capital One Arena was only approximately three quarters full of fans during the ceremony, but those who made it inside, were deafening in salute of the franchise’s greatest player of all-time.

The Washington Nationals appears to have caught Caps playoff fever and they don’t care who knows it.

Last weekend, the team watched the Capitals-Bruins game during batting practice at Citizens Bank Park. A few days later, outfielder Adam Eaton took his son to practice at Kettler. On Saturday, the Nationals attended Game Two at Verizon Center.

Pitcher Max Scherzer was first to break the news, telling Grant Paulsen on Friday that he and a few other Nats players would attend. The full Nats crew included Scherzer, Michael A. Taylor, Trea Turner, Ryan Zimmerman, Adam Eaton, Vegas Golden Knights fan Bryce Harper, and their significant others.

During the Washington Wizards early season 1-13 swoon, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III randomly showed up to a game. The Wiz responded by pulling off a miracle upset, defeating the defending champion Miami Heat for their second win of the season. On Saturday night, the Washington Capitals entered their match-up with the Florida Panthers with a league-worst record of 2-8-1.

Then some Capitals fans sacrificed a rubber cow and goat at practice and Washington Nationals third basemen Ryan Zimmerman showed up to the game. That good juju pushed the Capitals to play their best game of the season. Zimmer, who needs spring training? Please come to every game for the rest of the season. We need you.
