Trade Deadline Day on 106.7 the Fan

We’ve been fortunate to be a part of some terrifically fun big media projects here over the past few years, but this past Monday night may have delivered the most fun to date. We were invited to join a gaggle of Capitals bloggers by Sky Kerstein of 106.7 the Fan for two full hours of [...]
