Don't like the ice girls?

Maybe you'd prefer the Ice Slobs? (pictured)

Seriously, I'm not the happiest about having ice girls but so long as they do not get in the way of the game, and help the fans "rock the red," even more, whatever.

It's been a few days since the announcement, It's not the end of the world, and it certainly isn't the worst thing that could happen to the Caps.

Stay out of the way, keep it respectable, keep it fun and keep the focus on the fans and I will have no problem if a few girls want to cheer ra-ra-ra while shooting t-shirts out of cannons with Slapshot.

Get over it.

Capitals re-sign Gordon

Totally nullifying my last post...Here's the press release.

"ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals have signed center/right wing Boyd Gordon to a one-year contract, vice president and general manager George McPhee announced today. In keeping with club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Gordon, 24, completed his fifth professional season with the Capitals in 2007-08, matching his career high with seven goals and adding nine assists in 67 games. Gordon won 55.8% of his faceoffs, good for second on the team and ninth in the NHL, and averaged 4:00 of penalty killing ice time per game, which was third among NHL forwards. His +5 rating was tied for seventh on the team. Washington was 7-0-0 when he scored a goal and 10-2-1 when he had a point.The Unity, Saskatchewan, native was the Capitals’ first-round choice, 17th overall, in the 2002 Entry Draft. He has played in 204 career games for Washington, recording 52 points (15 goals, 37 assists) and just 38 penalty minutes. He was an integral member of the 2006 Calder Cup champion Hershey Bears in the American Hockey League, playing in all 21 playoff games. The former Red Deer Rebel won the Memorial Cup in 2000-01."

Well, now all eyes on ShaMo's arbitration.
