Looks like the Capitals are taking the Rangers to Game 7!
Braden Holtby is playing incredible! And he’s from the local team here, the Hershey Bears!
Now that the hated Flyers are done (YAY!) I guess I’m gonna pull for the team with all of the ex- Bears on it.
BEARS GRADUATES CONTINUE PURSUIT OF STANLEY CUP

HERSHEY, Pa. – The Washington Capitals continue their pursuit of a berth in the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals, with several graduates and recent members of the HERSHEY BEARS Hockey Club there to contribute.
Goaltender Braden Holtby and forward Keith Aucoin have made contributions as the most recent BEARS graduates. The two joined goaltender Michal Neuvirth, defensemen Karl Alzner, John Carlson, Mike Green, Dmitry Orlov and Jeff Schultz, and forwards Jay Beagle, Matt Hendricks, Brooks Laich and Mathieu Perreault in the Capitals’ seven-game dismissal of last year’s Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins.
Currently, many members of this group – which also includes a practice squad of recent BEARS players in forwards Cody Eakin and Mattias Sjogren, defensemen Sean Collins and Cameron Schilling, and goaltender Dany Sabourin – are battling the New York Rangers and have a must-win Game Six tonight at Verizon Center.
Alzner is my favorite Cap for the picture he tweeted of his dog’s after the marathon loss at home. Who doesn’t like a rich guy with mutt dogs?
