Some personal news: Prior to tonight’s Caps game, I signed my entry-level contract with the Frederick County Health Department. Starting next week, I’ll be doing PR for the department. I will be writing press releases, doing website work and social media for the department.

To everyone in my mentions saying “it’s because the teams suck. Wait til they’re good” you’re missing the point. People won’t spend an extra 30 minutes on the train. Who says “let’s go to suburban Virginia”? Not to mention, if there’s a crowd this big, it won’t be nearly diverse.

800 goals ago, Alex Ovechkin was a rookie in need of a roommate. Soon, Brian Willsie became Ovechkin's "North American older brother." Caught up with Willsie (& other former Caps) 17 years after No. 8 made his NHL debut. The stories did not disappoint.
