What BBN said about it
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAlex Ovechkin got a black Gibson acoustic from the Predators in Nashville, with number eight on the pick guard and both team logos, and Capitals beat them four to three.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHe scored nine hundred and thirty goals, he's forty-one, and the Predators hand him an instrument. Nobody warns you retirement starts with a gift you can't return.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCaptain Roman Josi handed it over in the locker room. Dale, you'd be a meme if you'd ever played a game.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA meme. Hm. Carry on.
