That was fun

Beating the defensing Stanley Cup Champs when the Caps have nearly $30 million in players sitting up in the press box; doesn't get much better than that. And a hat trick! Good night.

Also good because the Caps came back from giving up the first goal, which is a generous $20 bonus pledge. Helped crack the $1200 mark! Go Caps!

I hope everyone enjoys the all star breaks. Cheer on Dennis Wideman in Ottawa and if you're going to Atlantic City for the AHL festivities, have a great trip! I'll see everyone back here in February.

Wins, losses, half-wins

Since the last update there are been wins. And losses. And goals. And a lack of goals. And one half-win--quite possibly the least satisfying overtime loss ever.

After yesterday's game, we have now pledged $1154.38! As always, it's never too late to get in on the pledge drive fun.

Wondering how much you're on the hook for so far? The spreadsheet is updated! (and updated more frequently than the blog)

Happy New Year!

I've been very bad about updating--there's only so many times I like to write "Caps lost and only scored one goal." Fortunately, that wasn't the case over the holidays and there were lots of goals and lots of wins and so I am happy to report that we are kicking off 2012 with $908.82 pledged! The Caps kick off the 2012 portion of the season tonight, hosting Calgary.

I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday season, that you ate well, and enjoyed a lot of hockey!
