What to be Thankful For

The Caps are in their 39th year in the NHL. In honor of Thanksgiving, the Caps have had a lot to be thankful for during their time. Here is what I, as a Caps fan, am thankful for:

• Thank you, Rod Langway, for helping to keep the Caps in DC
• Thank you, Dale Hunter, for the most important goal in Caps history
• Thank you, Peter Bondra, for being the best darn 6th round pick there is
• Thank you, Olaf Kolzig, for 15 awesome years
• Thank you, Joe Juneau, for giving the Caps a shot at glory
• Thank you, NHL, for not letting the Florida Panthers pick Alex Ovechkin in 2003
• Thank you, 2004 draft lottery, for giving the Caps the number one overall pick
• Thank you, Sergei Fedorov, for helping the Caps to a series win
• Thank you, Joel Ward, for knocking out the defending champs
• Thank you, Adam Oates (and Mike Milbury), for sparking the best player in the world again
• Thank you, Washington Capitals, for 39 amazing years
• And thank you, Caps fans everywhere, for being the best fans in the world year-in and year-out

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
