I don't know if anyone reads this blog anymore. I started it in 2005 as a way for friends and family to see photos of Ben and other things that interest me. I love hockey and the Washington Capitals have been my team since day one when my Dad took me to games at Capital Centre. I've done the same with Ben. He loves the Caps and the sport of hockey. That said, this week was tough as a Caps fan.
The NHL trade deadline was Friday and the Caps were sellers. First they dealt Nic Dowd to the Vegas Golden Knights and then John Carlson to the Anaheim Ducks. Dowd was a member of the Caps for eight seasons and Carlson for seventeen seasons, whose jersey will be hung from the rafters one day. Two solid, reliable veterans.
Ben and I are going this coming Monday night vs Calgary for the last time this season and it's likely the last time we see Alex Ovechkin play for the Caps.
I'm glad I have a photo archive going back to 2009 when I got my first digital camera.
