Wins and Goals, how about that?!

Not only does it seem that the Caps and finally back on track--back in the win column--they're also scoring goals! Which is really helping the numbers, in addition to making Caps hockey a heck of a lot more fun to watch. Headed into tomorrow's showdown with the wounded Flyers, we've pledged $718.07, plus all the throw-ins I haven't calculated yet.

Just a reminder: pick-up hockey/fundraiser planning is still going on. Pop on over to Japers' and check out the planning conversation! I hope to see a lot of people there, on the ice and in the stands!

Back in the Win Column!

feels good! After the games against the Penguins and Senators,w e are now up to $631.76.

Interested in playing pick-up hockey for a good cause (or watching pick up hockey for a good cause)? Planning for the Japers' Rink Pick-up Game is underway! If you're interested in playing and/or helping us make arrangements for the game and the post-game party, we want you! We are also pulling together items to be raffled at the party, with all the money to support Carosn Kolzig Foundation. If you'd like to donate an item, please contact me.

Not-So-Awesome November round-up

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!

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.
