RICHMOND, Va. -- I had planned this week to draw a Canon strip about the famous dueling hat tricks playoff game between Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin back in 2009. I had it sketched out, written, everything. 

Then Monday night happened. 

Another disgusting Tom Wilson goon-fest, immediately followed by embarrassing excuse-making by every aspect of the Washington franchise, from the players, to the fans, to the team itself (I found the obnoxious “VIOLENCE” image tweeted out by the Capitals’ social media staff especially tasteless). I decided I didn’t want to spend any time this week creating anything that’d put the Capitals in any sort of positive light, so I moved the calendar ahead a few days to focus instead on one of the team’s many utter failures in the postseason!

I’ll never be accused of objectivity, and I’m OK with that!
