A Reason to Smile

itsagirl.jpgThough the double overtime loss may cause many to frown, we at OFB have a reason to smile.

DC Sports Chick and her husband Chanuck have announced the birth of their first child, DC Sports Chicklet. The Washington Capitals acquired their most recent fan around 5:30pm yesterday afternoon. Her basic stats are 7lb 8oz, 19in. with a full head of black hair. Everyone is happy and healthy, Mom and Dad are tired, and DC Sports Chicklet has already shouted at the hospital television “shoot the puck!”

Please join us in toasting the arrival of the little bundle of joy.

[The rumor mill is buzzing with news of a laptop computer at the hospital allowing DC Sports Chicklet to file her first post.]

    Congratulations! Let us hope that she says someday as a teenager: “My parents could tell you all about those 4 straight Cups the Caps won when Ovechkin was captain. I was way too young to remember it.”

  2. Congratulations to Mom and Dad. We welcome all new additions to the legions of Washington Capitals fans with open arms.

    4? Why not 13?

    Oh how wonderful!!! Congratulations to the DCSportsChick-Chanuck family - kind of puts things into perspective, doesn’t it?

    Oh, and boys…knowing the mother I can guarantee that this is the first and last time you will be allowed to use the tags “Ice Girls” and “Puck Bunnies” when referring to her daughter ;) No pink jerseys in that household!

  10. Thanks, everyone! I will say that as soon as they brought her in to see me after being in the nursery, the Caps scored on that 5-on-3 in the first period; but I had to turn the TV off in the second because we needed the rest. Guess I should have left the TV on.

    CapsChick had the same reaction I did to the use of the “Ice Girls” and “Puck Bunnies” categories ;-)

    You weren’t supposed to point that out to her. She’s probably tired enough already to not even notice! ;-)
