Gr8 Chase, the Jersey

Related Topics: Alexander Ovechkin, Chevy Chase

When Alex Ovechkin scored his 809th career goal, longtime Caps fan Joe Galanick had an idea. We wouldn’t only get a custom Caps jersey, with “Gr8 Chase” on the nameplate, but swap out the jersey number every time Ovi scored another goal.

Galanick, who has been a Caps fan since 1988 and a season ticket holder since 1995, carries around with him several extra numbers for that very occasion.

As shown, it currently sits at 816, but it’s sure to change soon and Galanick will be prepared.

First, he showed my 87 but I asked him to swap the numbers around.
