Tonight at the Verizon Center, the Capitals are hosting Canadian Heritage Night while they play the Toronto Maple Leafs. Among the celebrations for the night, the Caps are serving poutine, which is a Canadian dish consisting of French fries and cheese curds topped with a light brown gravy.
The Capitals tweeted a photo of their poutine dish tonight. Bad news for the Capitals, this is 100% not poutine.
I see french fries and some cheese crumbles. Where is the gravy? Why is there green stuff? What is happening? Where is the justice for my Canadian buddies?
Make sure to stop by Section 108 and get some POUTINE as a part of #CapsCanadianNight! Doors are OPEN. #RockTheRed pic.twitter.com/dXLz6ucMnf

Did that last one hurt? Yeah, but where can I really argue with it?
