First off, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has pledged, and for you remarkable patience! I've had nothing to report for months, and yet your enthusiasm never wavered and no one ever questioned the lack of updates.

So...the good news! We have pledged $731.85! And Mike Green will be back on the ice Saturday! HUZZAH! And there was much rejoicing.  As always, check the spreadsheet. There will be a bigger total following Saturday's game since we have quite a few goalie-and-playoff related pledges.

And now for the other news....

I think it's pretty safe to say we all had hoped to give a little more for the playground construction. So, I want to throw out some options for people to consider. Don't feel obligated to pick an option:

1. Double your donation.
2. Add in Green's 2 All-Star game assists.
3. Choose a second player to use in addition to Green.

And feel free to toss out any ideas you might have as well!

Now, playoffs. On Sunday evening, I will set up a separate playoff Fanpost. As always, participation in the regular season does not mean you have to participate in the playoffs. Anyone who gave me pledges for playoff performances will be automatically included in my playoff list!

If you're new and wondering what all this is about, check out the kick-off post, as well as the 2010 summary!

And finally, another thank you! This is a community-driven drive and without you guys, I'd just be some crazy lady running a pledge drive all by my self! Caps fans rock!
