Former Oswego State goaltender and Washington Capitals web producer Brett Leonhardt tweeted about a half hour ago that his Vegas odds for becoming captain of the Washington Capitals now sit at 100,000-to-1.
You may remember Leonhardt as the 6-foot-7 behemoth who sprang into action for the Capitals last season when the backup goaltender who had been called up to the roster had his flight delayed. Leonhardt spent about ten minutes -- enough time to have his Twitter picture taken -- on Washington's bench as the backup netminder before the call-up arrived.
I'm not going to bother doing any research on this, but I believe those ten minutes as the kind-of backup goalie last season make him eligible for the C this year. Fingers crossed.

I'm a sports reporter who most recently covered Syracuse University football for Clear Channel Syracuse (620 WHEN & 570 WSYR).
I attended SUNY Oswego where I majored in Broadcasting-
Mass Communications. I was also the Voice of the Lakers (VOTL) from 2007-2009 on 88.9 FM WNYO Oswego. It was during this time that I created this blog, then known as the WNYO Sports Blog. Upon leaving Oswego, I took the blog with me. I am a supporter of SU & Oswego State Athletics, as well as the New York Yankees, NY Giants, and NY Rangers. The VOTL.com is also simulcast on Bleacher Report.
