Last year, the Washington Capitals gave out the ‘Honest Abe’ award after games to the player who put in the most ‘honest’ effort.
“We have a new thing,” Jason Chimera said after the Caps’ 5-3 victory against New Jersey. “It’s a secret. Keep it in the locker room.”
Caps PR confirmed. The new award, which was once a ‘hard hat of the game’ given out for the same purpose, is now a secret.
Rest in peace, Honest Abe.
