Anthony Cirelli was the Easter bunny for the Tampa Bay Lightning team Easter party. He took one for the team in the heat and was a real champ with the kids. Good job, Tony! Go get some ice cream, you’ve earned it. [Tampa Bay Times]
“He was really good,” Maroon said with a smile when asked Monday. “Cirelli was a huge, huge hit at the Easter party. Hats off to him. He didn’t have to do that. It’s 100 degrees outside and he’s probably leaking in that suit. He was a great sport and all the kids loved it.”

If anyone’s wondering about the Lightning, they are still -731 as of right now in almost 1500 games. Those expansion years were rough for sure. The Capitals had about a 20 year start on us, so hopefully we can celebrate the same milestone sooner than later. Here’s where I got my math.
With that goal, the Caps are +1 since Game 1 in 1974.

Also in Capitals news, the Screaming Eagle is coming back as a potential reverse retro jersey. I’d like to see an updated logo be the new permanent one. Not that I have strong thoughts about the current one.
Report: Washington Capitals will bring the old “Screaming Eagle” logo back to their uniform for the 2022-23 #NHL season #ALLCAPS

This was an interesting story about the NCAA Hobey Baker winner getting caught doping, but not really, but also maybe?
Been working on this for a few days. USADA announced Dryden McKay accepted a six-month sanction for an anti-doping violation. A deeper dive into what happened, how things unfolded and why athletes need to be so careful: https://t.co/BLVCgjcwA3
