At the last Canadiens, Capitals game, there were some notable people in the crowd. Athletes love to watch other great athletes and that’s exactly what happened last evening.
The Washington Commanders had their entire quarterback crew there, Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariotta and Sam Hartman according to Athlon Sports.
Alex Ovechkin is a rockstar and he’s going to go off in the sunset presumably after his contract runs out next season. Until then, people want to see him one last time and I expect more athletes will show up for Game 5, if there is one.
Daniels supports D.C. athletes. He recently tweeted to Ovechkin congratulating him for goal #895 that broke Wayne Gretzky’s record. I love to see it, it shines a light on hockey that isn’t always there as more people learn about this great game.
Who’s going to show up in Montreal? We know the fans will show up but I’m talking about celebrities either in the sporting world or entertainment business. When they get shown on the big screen the crowd usually goes crazy.
I expect to see a lot of current hockey players from the area whose teams are out of the playoffs. I can also see some star junior players showing up the same way. Could we see musician John Mayer or Celine Dion? I think we might see one of them.
