How do YOU rock the red? Are you growing a playoff beard? Dyeing your hair red? Wearing the same shirt or lucky socks for every game without washing them? Tell your story and post your pictures - LET'S GO CAPS!
I posted this in an Olympic OT thread, but figured they deserved their own fanshot. Pretty freaking awesome.

Anyone want to meet up before the game tomorrow for brunch? :)
Rink Rabbits! Let's talk about shirts...

Hello ladies :)
We've been discussing wardrobe options for the Rink Rat Pick-Up game (Jan. 2nd at Kettler), so I figured a separate thread could be of some use to hash out the details. I don't know about you all, but I'm excited - I think this is going to be pretty hilarious.
Here's my recap of the ideas so far (feel free to add/subtract/change):
- big t-shirts, belted or tied on the side 80s style
- leggings/tights/fishnets(hahaha)/whatever works - your choice (I'm going with shorts as well, for sure)
- some sort of boots (or really any shoes you want) - original idea was leggings with uggs (being the unofficial uniform of the modern puck bunny), but there are plenty of other options for those of us who don't have uggs
Here's a simple starter t-shirt idea - the simpler they are, the cheaper they'll be, plus we need to make sure they can be belted/tied:
Okay, have at it! Once we get an idea, I have a couple companies I've used before if we want to get them made (I'm a high school class sponsor)
P.S. What color(s) do you think we should use? I was thinking either white with red or red with white, but we could make it fun and do black/pink or something like that...?
Edit: Alright - once I get enough votes, I'll let you all know what the color scheme will be, and will take orders for sizes. It's up to you whether you want to get a big one and go 80s style, or get a normal fitting one - either will work :) Bunny ears would be a pretty funny touch as well. Email what size you'd like to me at kellyhogan85@gmail.com - I'd like to get the order in by Friday if possible, so we can make sure we get them in time. Remember, we need at least 10 participants to get a decent price, so I'm going to wait until I get at least 10 votes! ~ Kelly :)
10. Will a goalie win the Calder?
Semyon Varlamov(notes) of the Washington Capitals is 10-1-2 with a 2.38 GAA and a .919 save percentage. His winning percentage is going to be absolutely sick by the end of the season, and his numbers could be even better if he's figured out how to prevent opponents from exploiting him on the glove side.
If Tavares finishes south of 70 points while Varlamov has a redonkulous record and the stats to match, the Calder should remain between the pipes for a second straight season. At least that's the thought here.
player theme songs

So I doubt they're the only team who does this, but last night while watching the Ottawa game, I heard a comment about how they play a different song for each player after he scores a goal. I thought this could be a fun discussion - what do you think should be the theme song (or goal song) for each of our guys? Some will be easier than others, but I'm sure there are plenty of good options out there!
I'll start with the first thing that came to my mind (probably because it came on my iPod this morning, haha):
