#2 Darcy Kuemper bobblehead
Sometimes there’s at least two or three bobblehead giveaways each season. Two seasons ago the Capitals had bobblehead giveaways for Tom Wilson and John Carlson. Last season’s bobblehead giveaway was an Alex Ovechkin goal counter. This season the lone bobblehead giveaway is Darcy Kuemper.
That giveaway will take place on March 26 when the Capitals take on the Detroit Red Wings. Capital One is the sponsor of the bobblehead.
The Caps say:
“Come cheer on he Caps as they take on the Detroit Red Wings. All fans will walk away with a Darcy Kuemper bobblehead presented by Capital One.”
Kuemper looks for a good second season with the Capitals after a bad season last year that wasn’t his fault. Per the Capitals website, there’s only a picture of the netminder right now and not what the bobblehead will look like. So I’m not sure what jersey he’ll have on.
Kuemper went 22-26-7 with five shutouts, a 2.87 goals against average and a .908 save percentage. Those numbers can improve as long as the team around him remains healthy.
