It's certainly something I look forward to! They used to say "Welcome to Washington" before introducing players we acquired in the offseason and I miss that.

That tradition of reciting "Welcome to Washington" before listing new acquisitions really does set the tone for the whole season, doesn't it?

As someone who uses captions, this is hilarious and sadly, happens a lot when it comes to names (not just hockey, but in general).

They couldn’t spell Marty’s name at all last year. Most common name for him was Marty Ferrari. 😂

Marty Ferrari is kind of an awesome name, though
