This is pretty damn cool, but it makes you wonder if the seller realizes that this is the old logo. Still, it would make a great addition to any Capitals themed room. So if you are in the market for a neon sign of the Capitals old eagle logo, head on over to eBay where you can find it for just $49.99. Hurry though, because the auction ends in just 9 hours!

Capitals Outsider suddenly has been approved by the Capitals to get the inside scoop in the form of press credentials. So, here I am, up in the box with journalists from The Washington Post, The Washington Times, washingtoncaps.com, the Associated Press and many others for the Saturday night game against Eastern Conference rivals Carolina Hurricanes.

In this installment of Random Jersey, we bring you a Sarah Palin #12. Obviously the 12 represents 2012, the year this devoted fan believes Sarah will be elected president. Good luck with that buddy. This is clearly one of the worst investments ever, and makes my Jagr jersey purchase seem comparably smart. This photo comes to us via Dan Steinberg’s D.C. Sports Bog.

Via Capitals Kremlin comes this video of the Capitals Drum Line. I hadn’t seen these guys, because I typically do not enter via that entrance. It might be worth the walk around the building. Bravo!
