Caps Practice @ Kettler

Sarah and I decided to go out to the Kettler Capitals Ice Complex to catch the Saturday morning practice. This was the day after Alex Ovechkin scored his 60th goal of the season. Unfortunately Ovie wasn't skating today, and several of the higher profile stars only stayed on for a short time. But we enjoyed watching the rest of the guys having fun. And I got some good shots of them going through some light work.

Here are a few of the better ones.

Nice pictures. Must be nice to see your favorite team practicing. I would enjoy that as they would be relaxed. I also like your other pics of your trip to Raleigh. I especially like the one of the body fitting garments. I could use some of those LOL! Love to you both. Hope all is well. We think of you guys often. Take care and keep in touch.
