Washington Capitals to celebrate Stanley Cup victory at White House on Monday

The Washington Capitals will join President Trump on Monday to celebrate their 2018 Stanley Cup victory at the White House, according to a team spokesman. The visit will come nearly 10 months after the team won its first championship in franchise history, and the event is expected to be more low-key than some in the past, though plans are still being finalized.
This will be the first Washington professional team to be honored at the White House since D.C. United in 1997. Visiting the White House has long been a tradition for many championship college and professional teams, but it has been mixed with some controversy during Trump’s presidency. In the week after they won the Stanley Cup, most Capitals players said they would want to visit the White House.
“Can’t wait,” captain Alex Ovechkin said in June.
Forward Devante Smith-Pelly, who is black and Canadian, previously said he would not want to be part of a White House ceremony because “the things that [Trump] spews are straight-up racist and sexist,” he told Canada’s Postmedia.
Smith-Pelly was waived in February and sent down to the American Hockey League in a salary cap-clearing move and is no longer with the Capitals, but all members of the 2018 championship are invited and will have the option to attend or decline. Players and coaches new to the team this season will not be part of the visit. Forward Brett Connolly joined Smith-Pelly last year in saying he would also skip a White House visit.
“I don’t think it’s the right thing to do,” Connolly said in August.
“Everyone is entitled to their opinion,” added Connolly, who is Canadian. “I think there’ll be a few guys not going, too. It has nothing to do with politics. It’s about what’s right and wrong, and we’ll leave it at that.”
Trump canceled the 2018 Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles’ visit to the White House after some players said they would skip the ceremony to protest the president and his rhetoric. When the Golden State Warriors won the 2017 NBA championship, multiple players, including Stephen Curry, said they were not in favor of a visit to the White House. They were later disinvited by Trump. The Warriors won another title last year, and rather than visit the White House during their trip to Washington in late January, they met with former president Barack Obama. The team visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture during its trip to Washington the previous February.
The Pittsburgh Penguins visited the White House after both their 2016 and 2017 Stanley Cups. In 2012, then-Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas, an American, skipped the team’s White House ceremony due to his political and ideological differences with the Obama administration. The Capitals went down to the wire with this visit, discussing dates earlier in the season to no avail because of scheduling conflicts.
Clemson, winners of the College Football Playoff, and North Dakota State, seven-time winners of the NCAA’s Football Championship Subdivision, are the two most recent teams to visit the White House, and both were served a fast-food spread.
“What I have said is, we’re in Washington, D.C., and the players and the coaching staff have to decide,” team owner Ted Leonsis told The Washington Post in October. “I’m not going to influence, and if we go to the White House, I will go to the White House."

Let's GO CAPS!
Only 10 games left in the regular season... :-\

WTFlock man, a 7:30 start??
-
Glad to see Orpik getting some rest. I'd love Ovi to get to 50 quickly and we win these next 2 or 3 and then give him some rest as well - maybe a few others as well.
On another note, the last winger situation is getting interesting. Looks like they are between Boyd and Stephenson, and Jaskin will only have a shot if they have a couple injuries. I wouldn't be shocked if they brought up DSP at some point to see if they could catch lightning in a bottle again with him in the playoffs. That's not a move I would make as I think the other guys beat him out.

8-0 Didn't see that coming! :clap:

maybe Burt can "get hot" for the playoffs, then Caps management can let him walk at the end of this season

if the zebras aren't going to call hooking I'm ok with it, as long as that goes both ways

PPPP.

:lmao: O'Rourke is one of the refs. :O=
-
You gotta be fucking kidding me with that garbage can fire of a power play. Fucking retards love to slingshot and waste 30 seconds instead of getting the fucking puck in and setting up and getting shots off.
And for the record fuck the refs on that blatant missed call. If this were a playoff game they would be receiving death threats

Fitting end to the period.. Hopefully now they realize there's a game tonight.

Good job Caps! Way to play like Champions! Back to back! Back to back!
-
LoL.. Who was the dude (for the Isles) who just -had- to have a piece of Chara?? That turned out well for him.. :rofl:
-
We had 4 SOG, three by defenseman, Burakovsky only forward with SOG. That is unacceptable. Caps better get it together in the second period or they will end up losing this game which cannot hapen.
-
FUCK!!!!
My main file that I keep ALL the Game data on just turned into Chinese and there is NO way to get it back. Had to be one of those rare computer lost bits that screwed a file. Very rare. No backup since November 30. Fuck Fuck Fuck!

Naw, it's not actually another language, it just appears so. I even went in and looked at the HEX code directly and compared the beginning of the file to the backup and only the first three characters match. One lost bit and it corrupts everything beyond that point. No possibility to get it back

Oh it can happen all right. This isn't just a trap game, it's the trap game of all trap games. Celler-dwelling opponent. Getaway day on a road trip. Return home to a back to back tomorrow night against the best team in the league, who has the advantage of NOT having played tonight. You'd better believe that conserving energy and trying to do the minimum to get out with a win is in the recesses of players' minds.

Is Oshie playing tonight? Backstrom? I don't remember seeing those guys on the ice.
-
Now would be a good time to work on actually HOLDING a lead at 2-1 for almost two periods

Rierden flipped Kuzy and Backstrom and the new lines immediately score two goals. Nice adjustment.

Yes,yes it was. Should be able to hold a 3 goal lead.

The slingshot is really annoying. No rushing the net. Enter the zone and the goalie knows you won't shoot. If we have a breakaway, do you need to wait for a teammate to pass to?
-
100 points for taking down the ref. Shame iot wasn't O'Rourke.... :lmao:

Everyone but Willy, yes.
-
Aaaaaaahhhhh. Pens and Canes going to OT, so it will be a 3-point game.
Was hoping somebody would win in regulation.
-
Kuzy is amazing, when he wants to be
-
Meanwhile, Ovie still has no shots, and no hits either.
I'm sure this is a game he is just coasting through, trying to save something for tomorrow night.
-
Are they resting old man Ovechkin? Haven't seen him on the ice much in the 3rd..

He better come out big tomorrow. He has a 50 goal season and Rocket on the line, can't be taking days off like this

There was a very interesting stat that Eller just ruined a couple of minutes ago.
Up until less than 5 minutes of game time left, the Caps according to the game stats had had ZERO giveaways credited against them the entire game. NO unforced errors? That would be a first. However, Eller was just given one.
-
They looked good after sleeping through the 1st period.. Tomorrow should be good.. Hopefully we bring the heavy game!
-
Ovi waiting to score on home ice methinks.
Lets hope. Next 4 games are at home, hopefully he will get his 50th in one of those games.

That is pretty amazing that we even came that close.

Very even ice time tonight. Once the Caps broke the game open and NJ didn't show much fight, line 4 and D pairing 3 saw a lot of ice time. We will be in as decent shape as we can be going into tomorrow's game.
