If I were able to tear myself away from the mortgage paying job all day today, I would follow Chris from the morning meeting to the afternoon press conference.
From the Washington Capitals press release:
Chris Clark to Fly with Blue Angels on Wednesday, May 14
ARLINGTON, Va. – Washington Capitals captain Chris Clark will fly with the U.S. Navy’s famed Blue Angels on Wednesday, May 14, at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland in advance of squadron’s show at the base from May 16-18.

Let’s hope that Mach x doesn’t do any more damage to his groin. :>
That headline made my heart stop! Don’t do that to me!
I agree with Huetfan. I hadn’t drank enough coffee to be fully awake this morning when I read the headline.
What a beautiful day to fly. Less so in Philly.

Maybe the g-forces will be just the thing to shift Clarkie’s groin back into place!
Odessa, that is precisely what I was going to reference before I read the comments. Good thinking. I had one of those instant “gut-level” thoughts like “is that good for his concussion?”, which was then quickly followed by the active-thinking part of my brain which corrected me that it is his groin.
I wonder if there’s a chance they’ll drop some bunker-busters on Wachovia center?
Holy crap…you scared me to death with that headline. *sigh*
Dude remind me to beat you when I see you next. I was thinking I would have to burn my Clarkie jersey.
That wasn’t funny, man.
Chanuk - I thought of the same exact thing when I saw that… I’m gonna have to burn this jersey.
Please no more headlines like that.
Hey nucks, Don’t worry, I’ll remind you
In fact, Chanuck, I suspect MulletMan would be happy to hold him for you, if you’d return the favor after you’re done or when your arm falls off…whichever comes first.
