The generosity of Caps fans never ceases to amaze me.

The "Spring Puck Surprise" was another huge success at Wednesday's game against the Bruins. 450 pucks were sold in less than 45 minutes which raised $18,000 for Caps' charities!

Fans selected autographed pucks not knowing who they would get.

These Caps fans picked a 3 (Poti), 2 Ovi (8),
Neuvy (30), and Green (52).

These are happy Caps fans! One on left is one of the five that will get to meet

 Mike Knuble after the game to have her puck signed. Her friend was pretty happy

with her two pucks - Ovi and Arnott!

The Washington Capitals celebrated their fans on the last home game of the season. Caps hosted the Boston Bruins and lost in a shootout, however, the fans still enjoyed the day.  There was facepainting, spirit sign making and Red Rockers passing out Caps favors.

The Caps first-ever Presidents' Trophy was on display and fans were able to pose for pictures, Ted Leonsis signed his book for an hour on the concourse, prizes were announced throughout the game and all fans received Caps umbrellas as they exited the Verizon Center. 

The highlight of post-game activities was the "Jersey off their Backs" presentation where fans receive game-worn jerseys from Capitals players. The fans drew numbers to determine which jersey they'd receive and the players signed the jerseys for them. 

Fans are ready for the playoffs!
