So, I'm sitting here wondering WTF...(for lack of a better expression...read on and you'll see why...)
Washingon Post Caps beat writer Tarik El Bashir, is leaving his job! He's the dude that travels with the team and is responsible for informing Caps fans of behind the scenes stuff on our guys. He's got a blog on washingtonpost.com and he's one of the guys I rely on day in and day out to give me the most up-to-date tidbit on my team. He's still going to be with the Post in other areas (like the Hoyas, nascar, boxing, mma, and a few other things). But he's leaving the most primo job in all of sports! I mean, to have the mic in front of Ov day in and day out! To get paid to watch Caps hockey. I don't get it.
Here's what else I don't get...the replacement. Why couldn't it have been me??
I didn't even know there was an opening!
About Me
- queen of hockey
- I live in Calgary, Alberta CANADA...home of the NHL's Flames and the WHL's Hitmen. I love watching hockey. My favorite player is Alexander Ovechkin, followed closely by Nicklas Bäckström. Then there's my goalies Henrik Lundqvist, and Carey Price. I also like watching the dynamic duo of Toews and Kane. I like watching the Caps, Rangers, Habs, Hawks, and Canucks. But I'll watch anyone play anyone, at any time. I love the game that much. In my limited spare time, I am learning Swedish. I've actually been taking lessons since the NHL lockout in 2004. So, it stands to reason that I pay extra close attention to Swedish players/prospects. Pretty much the only time I'm not thinking hockey is when I'm sleeping, or when I'm at my boxing club.
