Too bad on Brooksie. He will be missed in more ways than one. Classy guy, from what all we hear, and certainly a man of character that any group could use this day and age.
Caps could certainly use a quality guy in their room. Good luck to you Brooks.
Caps really just don't seem to like Jaskin, do they? He must really have an attitude problem or something..
Why bother with an offer to Burt. Let the fucker walk already
Well said on all points Rich!
Couldn’t agree more!
My company, (and many others), worked with the Make a Wish foundation last year, where Brooks and his wife head up that charity, representing the DC area chapter.
We met Brooks and his lovely wife, and did one of the many charity events at Top Golf in Ashburn!
Everyone came out in January, shot golf balls, and had a lot of fun, despite the SNOWY weather, with several inches on the ground already!
Brooks and his family attended, as well as many other Caps players, Locker, Joe B,, Slapshot etc.
Never heard a single gripe about the weather, as Brooks and his wife made the rounds to EACH and every golf tee station, greeting everyone, doing selfies, and autographs!
You said a mouthful, Rich, when mentioning him as a man of character, who will be missed!!
Highest respect to you and your family Brooksie!!
I still don’t know what it is either, about the Caps and Jaskin? I’ve heard nothing, pro or con, that addresses how he behaves in practice, or how Caps mgmnt regards him.
In the very few times I’ve seen him being interviewed, he came off enthusiastic and solid. Nothing extraordinary, just quite normal for a young guy! I like him, and especially his style of play, when he’s been in! Seems unafraid to get gritty, and he’s a hustler, as well! It’s a mystery to me!
I don’t want Bura here either, but not very confident that he will get any good offers, above what Caps offer. I certainly don’t think Caps are figuring to keep him, mainly because they sent a strong message signing Hagelin so rapidly! (Not a mistake, IMHO)! Glad we got him back!
My worry is that Bura will hear crickets, from around the league, then have to accept Caps offer, which HE may feel is “undervalued”, (cuz he’s a cocky fucker, too), and play accordingly, based on how valuable he feels he is, (in his own mind)!
Then, like the movie Groundhog Day, we will hear, over and over again, the same old “my legs are feeling stronger”, “I’m feeling more comfortable now, with my role”, and all the other, no substance, lame ass, crap he barfs out, after ANOTHER “reset”, handed out to him after ANOTHER inconsistent month or two!! Can’t ya just hear it playin’ now, 🎵”Wheel goes around, and around”🎵😂🤣😂
Good post Rich!
