How funny that a story about Jamie Heward just showed up in the Post yesterday, after I had just posted that picture with him. It was an interesting article:
Jamie Heward thought his NHL career was finished. It had been three seasons since he had skated in the league, and his phone hadn't exactly been ringing off the hook.
So it should surprise no one that the Caps picked him up...no slam against Jamie, but that's typical for the Caps. They seem to get the guys that no one wants.
That's OK...he's definitely on the older side (34), but they could use some experience on the team.
In Nationals news- bye bye, Stanton; it was nice knowing ya:
Red Sox Acquire Stanton From Nationals
The Red Sox acquired left-hander Mike Stanton from the Washington Nationals on Thursday for right-handers Rhys Taylor and Yader Peralta.
But here's the best part:
Boston's trade means Stanton could wind up pitching this weekend against his former team, the New York Yankees.
I hope he sticks it to them good! Stanton wasn't a major star or anything for the Nats, but provided some decent pitching when they needed it (and they sure needed it at times). I hope those two young arms the Nats got in exchange will work out well next season.

Something for nothing. Even if the two young'uns (I can say that right? They're younger than me even) don't work out, Stanton was probably not coming back next year.
by the way, RE: DC United, tell Fred I want to shake his hand.
