Awesome-sauce.

Everyone wants to kill the king. But the prince, he just sails along telling all the ladies, "One day I'm gonna be king."

I'm on that bird thingy.

Spelled right and proper apostrophe placement. Gramps is aces.

Mike Knuble, we’re so happy you’re a Washington Capital. Hope you are enjoying your time here!

If only we thought of getting him to sign it “Mike Knuble 22 aka Grandpa Slippers” He really would have thought we were nuts!

I wonder how many of them read the blog? I’m sure there are quite a few… I mean, its not like they have a lot to fill their days, and they spend no shortage of time at their laptops…

I am a hockey fan first, and a Caps fan second.

Knuble has 4 kids. 4 very hyper kids. I don’t think he has tons of down time when he’s not on the road!

I am jealous!!

I wonder how he would feel about the nickname, “Grandpa Slippers”

Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!

I <3 Knuble!!!

In the trivia contest last night, he tried to make sure kids got the chance to answer questions first – excluding his own son, which drew a laugh from the crowd when he said, “not you,”
then explained who the kid was. He was gracious in the autograph line, signing whatever was placed in front of him, smiling for all the photos, and chatting with people.

What a great guy!

I need a snappy signature...

Great guy and consummate pro. I can’t think of a better FA signing in recent years.

I heart Knuble.

I’m so glad he doesn’t have to play in (ick) Philly anymore…

Here's to all us girls who love hockey...and the men who play it.

I’ve been thinking about getting a “22 GRAMPS” jersey, what do you guys think (jersey foul??). This guy is just awesome, today he was a man on a mission., too bad he didn’t get rewarded. Completely agree that he’s been one of the very best FA signings in the last couple of years.

OT Hockey 2/8
Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
