Well, Beagle is moving on. When I took my young daughters to the games, I always pointed to Jay as the best player on the ice - not because he had the most skill, or scored a ton of goals, but because he made the most of his abilities and gave everything he had. He wasn't fast when he came in the league, but worked at it so that he became one of the fastest players up and down the ice. He wasn't great at faceoffs, but worked at it to become one of the best in the league. He became a great penalty killer and outworked everyone in the corners. For all of this, he was appreciated by his coaches and loved in the locker-room.
I think the best example of what kind of player he was for us was when he laid out to stop the puck from going in the net last year during the Penguins series. If the Caps had gone on to win that series and eventually, the Cup, it would have been the number one play in the history of the Caps.
Good luck to Jay and thanks for setting the right example!!
