Can’t the Avs give him a shirt or can someone buy him a shirt from Wal-Mart?! haha

I just find it amusing how Varly never spoke English in any interviews when he was with us, but now he’ll do it since being traded.

took a bobblehead out of his car and offered it to me at KCI after morning skate.
I remember he was starting for the Caps that night, and it was his last game in
a Caps uniform. So yes, he already started giving away Caps gears at that point (I guess…).
