Washington Capitals Lose Game 7 in Familiar Fashion, Rekindling Memories of Drinking Reporter

Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs brings the height of drama to the ice, with players laying it all out on the line for a chance to move one step closer to the title.

This video of a reporter exactly one year ago to the date fits perfectly into the narrative 365 days later after the Caps’ 2-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins at home in Game 7.

And it’s hard not to think Ron Burgundy would be proud of this fella and his dedication to the sauce.
