Former Capitals forward Jason Chimera flourishing with Islanders
Capitals fans will be happy to hear how former Caps forward Jason Chimera is doing with the New York Islanders.
One of the hardest things to do as a sports fan is say goodbye to a player. Washington Capitals fans found this out the hard way in 2016 when longtime forward Jason Chimera signed with the New York Islanders.
While it’s hard to root for him while wearing the sweater of a rival, it’s even more difficult to wish anything but success for him. Chimera had to work his tail off to get into the league and stay in it. He’s a blue collar player who prides himself in outworking everyone else on the ice. Perhaps this is why Caps fans fell in love with Chimera.
