Welcome to my sports blog. My name is Johnny. I live in this great country called Canada. I love all kinds of sports, especially hockey, football, and boxing. My favorite recreational sport is fishing. My favorite teams are the Washington Capitals (yup, even though I'm Canadian) and the Kansas City Chiefs. I know, I know.... I'm still waiting for a championship. But I'm sure I'll get one before I die. So now enough about me, it's time for sports talk.

Capitals Merchandise is in High Demand
Now this is cool (straight from the horse's mouth):
The NHL recently released online sales figures for Shop.NHL.com and Washington Capitals merchandise - featuring the team's new logos and red, white and blue colors - is in high demand. Twenty-four of the 30 teams increased their sales in July, but the Capitals represented the third most significant improvement, experiencing a 228% growth in sales year-over-year. Only the Buffalo Sabres and Nashville Predators had higher increases.
In a month filled with Stanley Cup memorabilia available online, the Capitals had two of the top 10 selling items in July. A red Alex Ovechkin T-shirt was the sixth most popular item, and the Caps' red 2007 NHL Draft flex hat was the 10th most purchased item. The Ovechkin T-shirt ranked second among all player-specific merchandise (trailing only a New York Rangers' Chris Drury T-shirt) and first among players who did not join new teams in July. The Capitals were one of only two teams to have both a player T-shirt and a hat in the top 10.
Now let's see if we can put a winning team on the ice. Go Caps, Go! LEEEEEEEE!
