There's been a few times in the last 20 years that all 50 states had snow on the ground at the same time. Most people think Hawaii is the outlier in that, when it's actually Florida.

Dowd is going to be a Cap for a couple more years...

https://novacapsfans.com/2021/11/14/capitals-sign-nic-dowd-to-three-year-3-9-million-contract-extension/


Saw that this morning.  Good on Dowd. $1.3 per for him is pretty fair.  Sounds cheap honestly, but he was at $750k so decent pay raise for him. Not the most skilled guy, but definitely solid and his face off percentage has greatly improved and he is a solid 4c workhorse that fits well with this team.

And a little somethin' for Rich. Even though he don't care either way..  :raspberry: :snicker:
https://twitter.com/NoVa_Caps/status/1459904569018880008


Well, since I don't really care....


Selfishly, as a Cap fan, I'd like them to let him play so he doesn't come back from the break pouting like a little bitch.


But as a fan of justice.... :(   Sad - WTF is the point of banning him for four years if you are going to lift the ban for what is realistically the first major international event he would have played in anyway?

Nice the Caps are on a winning streak - but really they are just keeping pace with the Conference/Division leaders...  I'll take it.


Our division is really tough.  As expected, only a few games/points from 1st place to 6th place so...keep it up.



At least the Panthers finally started to come back down to reality...lost their last four in a row (last two were SO and OT losses), still leading the entire conference though.


Rest of the month is pretty tough schedule.  Need to keep it going.


GO Caps!!!

Ive been watching Caps news this morning, half expecting another injury announcement. Haven't seen one thankfully, but did see this...

Congrats to Brouwer.  He was a solid guy when here.  Had some big moments.


His best contribution to the Caps.....he was in the trade that brought Oshie here  :smirk: .  No knock against Brouwer, and not that he was the reason we got Oshie, but....he was part of that deal.


Enjoy your retirement.

and...what has he been doing the last two years if he hasn't played a game in two years?  Was he playing on the Blues AHL squad?
found it....He was put on and cleared waivers Jan, 2020, so played on the AHL squad.  (He was on a 1-year, two-way contract)


Funny if you watch the goal clips in the link....MOJO is on the ice for both of those goals

What animal eats a pumpkin....or a jack o lantern?


I know deer and groundhog do, but.....did they climb the stairs to my porch and roll them down into the yard?  And they ate a heck of alot of it...like 1/3 of it.  Happened on two different nights last week or so?  And the one they chose is older and starting to mold inside at the bottom?


And what is the difference in a groundhog and a woodchuck?


And who else is bored?  I know the Caps played twice this week, but it doesn't feel like it since I didn't really watch either game.

A blue whale's tongue weighs as much as an elephant.


Flamingo's eat with their heads upside down.


Polar bears have black skin


White-tailed jackrabbits have been recorded leaping 21' in the air (vertically)


A group of parrots is know as a pandemonium


The loudest critter on earth....The Pistol Shrimp (2cm long) is capable of snapping it's claw shut so rapidly, that it creates a bubble which collapses to produce a sonic blast, louder than a sonic boom.


And last, but not least...The loudest animal relative to size is the Water Boatman, 12mm long, and can produce 99dB of sound by rubbing its genitalia across its abdomen  (sounds like something a certain Florida boatman would do...if only he could)  :raspberry:
