ARLINGTON, Va. — Yesterday evening I went to the Washington Capitals Draft Day Party and uniform unveiling at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Ballston. I had a great time and want to thank DC Sports Chick and 1/2 Asian Man for hooking me up with Red Rink seats so I could see the actual unveiling rather than watch it on a screen. I will post my thoughts on the uniform on Monday.
A few notes:
It was good to see some familiar faces like and lots of red, white and blue.
Lots of bloggers got credentials. One, from a blog not specifically known for Capitals (or sports coverage other than ballpark whining), was apparently acting very odd.
I didn’t seek credentials, not really my thing.
Glad to see that Dan Steinberg made it. Go Hillbillies!
The Carolina style pulled pork in the buffet line was really good. Nobody asked me for money for it either.
The TV turnout looked fairly decent.
The Caps didn’t make the whole thing too cheesy.
I exceeded the weight limit for the moon bounce 🙁
The curtain dropped all over the players modeling the new uniform system.
Several people were getting tattoos of the new logo. One guy was getting it on his neck.
Here is my Flickr set, 47 photos in all.
I’ll have more to say on Monday.
Capitals, NHL, jersey, sweater, uniform
