In fact, they’re wondrously not alone because Lynda Carter has proven herself to be one of the biggest Caps fans in the world. When Wonder Woman is standing among you, that’s how you know a fandom is truly awesome.”
Lynda Carter is one of the lucky Caps fans that got their reverse retro jersey as she posted her rocking the red screaming eagle on social media. Caps fans loved it! She was also in attendance at Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final back in 2018.
The Caps ranking at third in the NHL in the FanSided 250 is a good spot. After winning the Stanley Cup, their popularity soared as it cemented Alex Ovechkin’s legacy as one of the greatest in the game. They’ll also be the team to watch as they hope to win another Cup as well as Ovechkin chasing Wayne Gretzky’s goal record.
Starting at the top will be Peter Laviolette as head coach as he hopes to bring back a winning culture into the locker room. That good culture where the team buys in was how they won the Cup a few years ago. Laviolette also has a good track record when it comes to taking his teams to the finals.
The Caps reverse retro jerseys are also the most popular jersey sale in the NHL as once they are gone they’re gone. Many fans have been lucky enough to buy the jersey while others have struck out. We can’t wait to see which games the team will be rocking those bad boys on the ice.
