We have had season tickets for a long time now. This year feels different, doesn’t it? I mean Barry Trotz is fantastic, I think they like him and are working for him to the best of their ability. I actually met a few of the Caps bc my chiropractor is on their staff, and I met both Orpik and Burakovsky at the chiro ofc. My chiro is great and introduced me, both very nice guys.
I like the balance on the team this year. Offense has always been great, but the goal-tending and defense has really improved with Niskanen, Orpik, Carlson, Alzner, and of course Holtby.
Hockey players are always the nicest pro athletes to meet outside of the arena. I grew up close to the old training facility in Odenton, Md and we would see the Caps in the neighborhood and they were always very approachable. Scott Stevens even came to my elementary school many many years ago. I still have my signed puck.
