There are some pictures I will take any opportunity at all to post, and that includes Hendricks with his babies, Alzner with his dogs, and Kuznetsov doing... well, anything.
They've seriously been chirping each other hard; it's hilarious. And yeah, I kind of loved it when the Puck Daddy "Essentials" pieces were running, and the Caps one had that Langway line about, "he currently holds a front office position as "Capitals Ambassador" (which, insofar as I can tell, means going places and being Rod Langway)." YES. DAMN STRAIGHT HE DOES.
...I was really, really hoping I'd get to wake up and edit everything I wrote last night with, "Btw, we signed John Carlson to a contract" but it was not to be. Come on, guys. Lock his ass down. I am tired of waiting.
I dunno, I figured all the remaining RFA were playing contract chicken to see who was going to go first and set the bar. I hope it happens before Friday, though. I feel like they should get it in under the wire. Maybe Karl Alzner can, like, demand it happen.
i think one of the better tweets I saw today was 'Hendy's PSA should go something like, "I'm Matt Hendricks, and if you don't support #YouCanPlay, remember: I'm Matt Hendricks."'
Yeah, I'll take any excuse to win people over to the sport (and specifically, to my team.) That means deploying cute pictures shamelessly. No news? I'll MAKE news, dammit!
I mean, I'd already decided to support the Caps (they're my hometown team, even though I now live in a country where hockey means the grass-based sport), but it's nice to have positive reinforcement like this! :-p
Oh cool, where are you from? (I mean, it's kind of hilarious that to like the Caps, you can be out of DC, Maryland, or Virginia.) Tri-state area except-not-really-because-DC-isn't-technically-a-state, represent.
This is a wonderful post. Matt Hendricks has been one of my favorites ever since I listened to the Caps Hockey Diaries (well I mean I obviously liked him before that too, but it's been magnified).
Yeah, I loved those too, though I think I started really appreciating him when the WaPo magazine ran that feature article on him. He just came off as so damn nice. His shootout and punching skills are just a bonus,
(No, I think I completely loved him when Karl Alzner revealed that Hendy borrowed, dressed up in, and walked around in Ovi's jean-sweatpants. I just, the mental image was amazing.)
SERIOUSLY!. Apparently Hendricks saw them and decided he immediately must wear them. Listen to Karl Alzner describe the moment and ponder that deeply, in the vivid center of your mind's eye. Or read the transcription below.
"…that story about him dressing up in Ovi's clothes. [Hendricks is] a guy who, you know, he's pretty simple; he throws on a t-shirt, jeans, shoes, and that's that. He's never, he never usually wears anything that people would call 'questionable', and so he just saw what Ovi was wearing, I think it was the day he had on, uh… these… (laughs) these pants that are, uh, jeans… They're sweatpants, uh. They look like sweatpants all the way down, but then they're jeans towards the top, or they’re vice versa, I can't even remember. But they're half jeans, half sweatpants. They're very short too, like, they're not long enough, I don't think. And since there was a t-shirt… this is all supposed to be trendy stuff, I think it's, I dunno, Dolce and Gabbana stuff like that a lot of European guys wear. And so the t-shirt has
