RMNB Readers Make Valentine’s Day Cards For Their Favorite Caps Players

valentine1

Rachel Cohen’s (@kat326) Valentine.

It’s the dreaded day of days once again. Celebrating either some apocryphal rebel-priest martyr or a bunch of horny werewolves, Valentine’s is when we make cards to let people know we care about them. What could be wrong with that?

“What could be wrong with that?” was what I naively asked myself before you people started sending in your V’s Day cards. While many of you were sweet and genuine (and strangely skilled at MS Paint), there are others among you that I am actually scared of now.

Let’s take a look at what you sent!

valentine14-kelly-t

Holts doing splits, holding things, provoking the womenfolk. (Valentine by Kelly T.)

valentine7-clare-c

Oh good. A venereal disease reference and we’re only two valentines in. Great. (Valentine by Clare C.)

Gnomes > Trolls, sadly. (Valentine by Josh W.)

The Wolski-Bear connection continues + food we can’t pronounce! (Valentine by Mandy K.)

Ya know… it’s your thought bubble. No reason it can’t be BOTH. (Valentine by Gina W.)

[Sound of a hundred slash-fic writers banging on their keyboards.] (Valentine by Perri M. @not_a_platypus)

I have issues with the meter, but I enjoy the sentiment. (Valentine by Christie R.)

Same here, kiddo. Same here. (Valentine by Matt M.)

A great card commemorating the best Caps moment of the season so far. (Valentine by Sam M.)

Great work, everybody! Thanks for all the cards. You’re all so talented– imagine what you could be doing if you weren’t hopelessly devoted to this silly hockey team.
