Since many teams are banishing them to the press box, perhaps he can have one goal judge booth, seat and light. Obviously saving the other for #8.

Bondra can have the stain on my carpet where I spilled my pizza when he scored the overtime winner against Buffalo.

Great question Pepper! While nothing will top Dale Hunter’s penalty box, I’m sure folks could come up with something good… perhaps a silver-plated sculpture of some kind made of 502 pucks? Though I think Bonzai would be happy with just getting the banner into the rafters.

As Dale Hunter received a penalty box as a parting gift, what fitting gift would Bondra receive from the team?

My favorite Bondra memory will be seeing him score #500 in Chicago. Even though he had only been here a few weeks, the crowd gave a roaring “BONDRA! BONDRA!” chant.

Yeah, after a great career, he went out with a wimper. I was hoping the Caps would bring him back to score No. 500.

I hope the Caps find some way to honor the long time Cap sniper.
