Bringing back serious memories of childhood days spent @ the Cap Center and watching @ home on HTS!

He had huge calves that looked like tree trunks. And doesn’t his helmet fit like the ones Ovie and Backstrom wore at the Redskins game?

Stop this Cap-of-the-day stuff now!

Stop this Cap-of-the-day stuff now, JP. You’re simply never going to be able to top the perfect combination of name recognition, yet randomness of Randy Burridge.

Burridge was an All-Star for the Caps.

He also was a Bruin, so I thought he’d be fitting for today.

I didn’t mean to imply Burridge wasn’t a good player or anything. What I meant was just that if you were to ask Capitals fans “gimme the name of a player who was on the team in the last 20 years but isn’t on it right now” and I doubt very many, if any, would name Burridge. Yet, if you were to name Burridge, most of them would know who you were talking about: the perfect combination of name recognition and randomness.

Burridge was a good player when he was healthy… he missed a lot of games due to injury. No complaints though, he got hurt trying to make plays on the ice. He was a bit more fragile than his game.

He certainly wasn’t Pat Peake in terms of injuries, but the talent was there with this guy and the effort…
