This Fall before the season started I picked up a Caps five game partial plan and selected games when Ben would be home during school breaks. An added bonus was sitting in the same row as a friend of ours. Monday night vs Calgary wasn't just our last game of the season but likely the last time we see Alex Ovechkin in a Capitals uniform. He's the NHL's All Time Leading Goal Scorer but at age 40, he's slowing down and Father Time is undefeated.
This is likely his last season. So while we were happy to see a Caps win, we were a bit sad to see Ovi for the last time. Sure I could go to one or two of the remaining home games this season (The Caps will miss the playoffs) and celebrate the end of a great career but Ben won't be with me and it wouldn't be the same without him.
Both of us are excited for next year and I will definitely get another five game plan as Ben and I enjoy Caps game day.
