Thursday Caps Clips: Happy 13th Anniversary, Japers’ Rink!

On July 12, 2005, a young aspiring attorney, striving mightily to blunt the panic and pain of studying for the bar exam, logged onto Blogspot for the first time and began writing about a subject that was nearly certainly guaranteed to never, ever be a source of either pain or panic. That’s right – he chose to write about Washington Capitals hockey.

The Rink shared a rookie season with Alex Ovechkin, and in every season thereafter shared the tremendous endorphin rushes of documenting a legend do legend things and then the soul-crushing despair of yet another all-too-early end to the season.

But this season, the 13th season, was different for both team and blog. They won the thing. They raised the Stanley Cup. In October they will raise a banner. And we will always walk together, as champions.

Congrats, J.P. And thanks.
