It was an afternoon tilt against the Barrie Colts, and my flight back to DC was that evening. After a fun but exhausting trip, including a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame that morning, I was hoping for an exciting game to help me recharge. And that’s just what I got.

Not as exciting as the current, but the history of the place really struck me even when I was young. I think it was bigger than the current version as well. I do prefer the new one.

I'd forgotten about Muir's win (and didn't think to look for his name). Hopefully we'll soon be able to look for all the Caps' names in one grouping, say under the text "2008-09" give or take a bit. :) Good catch!

I always enjoy visiting the HHOF when I am in Toronto. However, Clymer is not the only current Capital with his name engraved on the Stanley Cup. Bryan Muir, Colorado Avalanche, 2001. He played about as much as Clymer did, not much, but enough to have his name engraved. Glad you enjoyed your visit! I always enjoy visiting the HHOF when I am in Toronto.
