Brian Pothier. Your plight is hurting my emotions :(The poor guy is living in a Residence Inn in Raleigh after being traded as part of a package for Joe Corvo. He had been with the Caps for 4 years, and his wife and kids are still living in their DC home and going to their DC school. I don't even like Corvo. Yet...
I already felt awful for the guy, but then I saw this post video from the Caps v Hurricanes game. I was half afraid he was going to cry. Or go searching for George McPhee's blood. I also never realized how good looking he is...
I was really hoping that we could surprise him with a rousing cheer after he told Dan Steinberg he wasn't expecting much a welcome from the home team on Wed night. There was a Twitter movement that I retweeted and I practically ran to the stadium to get there in time for the opposition's starting line up announcement. Disappointingly, I'd say the welcome was lukewarm. But a smattering of applause and cheers is much better than boos and jeers right?
In some happier news, the Canes beat the Penguins last night, which I love. And what I love more is Pothier scored the winning goal in overtime. You can tell he's trying to make the best of the situation, and could lead the Canes to a huge comeback into the playoffs. I hope the trade doesn't come back to haunt the Caps! Miss you #2!
