Braden Holtby returned to DC last week to start gearing up early for the upcoming hockey season, and that includes getting some new art on his goalie mask.
On Wednesday, the Capitals posted photos from the Capitals’ informal practice, which contained a sneak peek at Braden’s new bucket.

Before the season began, the Capitals were challenged to draw the Weagle logo during Media Day.
While in their full gear, players such as Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and Andre Burakovsky, were given a marker and tried to recreate the team’s shoulder patch from memory on a whiteboard.
Despite the fact that the players are exposed to the logo multiple times a day and it was literally on the gear they were wearing, the results were terrible. Maybe even concerning.

The best decisions in life are the ones that are made in the spur of the moment.
For Capitals fan Scott Houghton, a split-second choice is how he ended up with the team’s weagle logo carved into the back of his head.
We’ve seen some weird jersey fouls in our day. Some of us still wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat haunted by the memory of Crochkin. But the thing about jersey fouls is they can always get weirder.
On Wednesday we learned of Sonia Kendall’s genuinely upsetting 43/83 mashup. It’s so weird. We had to know more.

On June 22, 2007, Ted Leonsis unveiled new uniforms for the Washington Capitals. The team dumped their five-starred eagle and Capitol Dome logos and returned to their original red, white, and blue color scheme.
During that faithful day, the team also unveiled two new marks, including a secondary logo which would be nicknamed by Capitals fans as the Weagle (an eagle that had a W shape with a subtractive silhouette of the Capitol Dome on the bottom).
On Thursday night, Icethetics noticed an interesting jersey up for auction on eBay. The user manonthemoon12345 described the sweater as a “rare authentic” Washington Capitals prototype jersey. On the tag, it’s dated November 16, 2005 and there is a note that this is a second of six versions of the jersey.
Maybe this is just news to us, but whoa!
Alyssa Milano, star of Embrace of the Vampire and Poison Ivy 2: Lily, has a clothing line called Touch. Touch has designed blue jeans with a Caps weagle on the butt. Now I’m not saying this is a must-buy, but you literally MUST BUY THESE.
From the product description on Modell’s:
Want everyone to know what your favorite team is while out on the town? In these Washington Capitals denim jeans from Touch by Alyssa Milano everyone will know. The traditional washed jeans have vintage leather team logo appliques on both back pockets and team logo embroidery on front pocket.
