Martin Fehervary was obviously a fan of this fantastic ‘Fehervary Fever’ sign

Martin Fehervary is a 23-year-old, Slovakian defenseman in his third season in the NHL. Fehervary doesn’t light the lamp much, but he is developing a bit of a fan base due to his hustle, hard-hitting, and off-the-ice fishing skills.

One person that’s a big supporter of Fehervary’s already is Capitals fan Aida, whose sign-making talents are upper echelon. And she knows it, too. “My ability to make signs is a gift I have been blessed with,” Aida said humbly in an interview.

For Tuesday’s Capitals-Sabres game, Aida created an alliterative masterpiece that read I’m coming down with FEHERVARY FEVER. The man behind the Marty Party noticed the tribute and gave Aida the highest compliment a hockey player can give to a fan: a warmup puck.

The Ovechkins were greeted by a special surprise when they got home

Alex Ovechkin made history during his two-goal night against the Winnipeg Jets. Ovechkin tied and passed Gordie Howe for second on the NHL’s all-time goals list.

After the game, Ovechkin said he was going to a bar for nachos and a hot dog because “Why not?”

While we cannot confirm or deny if this cheat meal actually happened, we can share something sweet waiting for Ovi when he got home.

Nicklas Backstrom appears to appreciate good puns

The Washington Capitals lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-3 in a blowout on Thursday. The game was mostly painful and hard to watch for Capitals fans – minus a stunning individual play by John Carlson and Tom Wilson’s kerfuffle with the Leafs.

But for one Caps fan in attendance at Scotiabank Arena, the night was special for another reason: Nicklas Backstrom acknowledged her and her clever sign.

Signs for Game Seven: Do it for Osh. Do it for Kemps.

The Washington Capitals’ season will be on the brink Wednesday night. Win Game Seven and the Caps advance to the second round for the fifth consecutive year. Lose and go home; the Caps’ quest to go back-to-back will end two months prematurely. We’ll all be heartbroken.

Undoubtedly, Caps fans, you guys, are going to bring the noise and be a force to be reckoned with throughout the game. You’re going to give the players energy to help them make that one extra play. Capital One Arena is going to be shaking.

But before all that anxiety-ridden, uh, fun happens, we should give the players a little extra motivation during warmups and honor two banged up hockey warriors for their sacrifice. Let’s celebrate the two Caps that were injured down the stretch and cannot play tonight.

Let’s win Game Seven for TJ Oshie and Michal Kempny. Let’s do it for Osh. Let’s do it for Kemps.

Caps fan makes glittery Easter-inspired ‘He Is Risen’ poster for Devante Smith-Pelly

Creative Caps’ fan Miranda is perhaps best known for her hair-larious Carl Hagelin sign. While she made that sign to welcome Hagelin to his new hockey team, her latest sign is welcoming a player back home.

Devante Smith-Pelly returns to the line-up for Game Five on Easter weekend. Of course Miranda had to let him know that she and the Capitals’ fanbase as a whole are happy that he’s risen all the way from Hershey back to DC with an Easter-themed poster.

“He could have gone anywhere after the Cup,” Miranda said, “but he chose to stay here. He knew how important it was for kids in the area to see someone that looks like them playing in their city in the NHL. I think it says a lot about him that that factored into his decision to stay.

“But also,” she added, “he really seems to have fun.” And this poster is nothing if not fun.
