I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving (or a nice regular Thursday, for our Canadian pledgers)! That was pretty much the bright spot of November--what an ugly month of hockey.
Caps are off today, which means they have completed the November portion of their schedule, bring us up to $592.66 in pledges for the season!
Tomorrow is one of the highlights of the season--Pittsburgh comes to town. This is a great game to offer up some bonus pledges for, or jump into pledge drive for the first time. Let's Go Caps!
Welcome to the Japers' Rink Pledge Drive! Each hockey season, members of Japers' Rink pledge to a Washington Capitals player or coach charity. In 2010, we pledge for Jose Theodore's Saves for Kids. So Kids Can, Mike Green's charity, was our 2010-2011 charity. In 2011-2012, we are pledging for Capitals legend and goaltending coach Olie Kolzig's Carson Kolzig Foundation, supporting autism awareness and treatment.

All sorts of ugly, and an administrative note
I've been waiting very very patiently for the Caps to win before I posted an update. Apparently, the Caps have forgotten how to win, so now I get to post a sad update. No wins and no goals (and one 17-save night) means the numbers didn't climb all that high. Our mid-November total is $487.20. Tomorrow night Caps play in Toronto on Hockey Night in Canada--fingers crossed for a big Caps win!
Administrative note: I made a couple of back-end changes to the spreadsheet management to make things a little easier for me. It appears that everything went smooth and nothing was lost, but if you do spot anything wrong with you pledge, give me a heads up.

Dallas and Devils round 1
Let's just skip right over the Dallas game, eh?
Caps roared back last night to get another win and rack up the pledge numbers! This morning, we're up to $445.34! We have a couple a friendly wagers on tonight's game, so expect the numbers to skyrocket tomorrow. Let's go Caps!

Weekend round-up
Caps played Friday and Saturday. A split decision. Good news is lots of money pledged and a couple of friends jumped on the pledge drive bandwagon, bringing our season pledge total to $403.25!
On the schedule this week is a game vs. Dallas Tuesday, and then home-and-home with New Jersey Friday and Saturday. Let's Go Caps!

That was Ugly
A win is a win and they don't give style points in the NHL (although Nick Backstrom deserves a couple based on those incredible goals last night!), but yikes was that an ugly game. Eleven saves? EEK. But, hey, 5 goals and a win, that's nice.
We're up to $338.21! Which is a pretty awesome total, if I do say so myself.
