Unlike the rest of the NHL, the Capitals' puppy, Captain, is unburdened by having to play in real hockey games, or by any other sort of work responsibilities, or really by anything other than just being a puppy.

So, what we’re getting at is, this pup has all the time in the world to go in on spooky szn. It’s not even October 31st yet, and Captain has already shut Halloween down for the year.

Okay, so, obviously, we have to do this. Captain’s costumes, ranked:

  1. Minion
  2. Captain America (T-1?)
  3. Fire truck
  4. The Incredibles
  5. Police officer
  6. Shark
  7. Snowman
  8. Pumpkin

The Capitals introduced Captain to the team earlier this month, and if you couldn’t tell, he’s the goodliest.
