New Bourque, Now In Handy Chris Size

The next generation of soft-spoken, hard-shooting, ice-savvy hockey players related to likely hall-of-famers took the ice last night for the Washington Capitals.

Still, after their 2-1 OT loss to the weird fish strange birds from Atlanta, which came hot on the heels of Monday’s debacle against the Hurricanes, which came hot on the heels of nine other losses in their last 11 games, Caps fans need to get creative when finding things to cheer about.
