Nate Schmidt returns to play hockey in Washington, DC for the first time since May, and Caps fans are in a charitable mood. Scores of fans brought homemade signs and RMNB posters to hold along the ice to welcome Schmidt back to town.
As you’ll recall, the Golden Knights (and their GM, former Caps manager George McPhee) selected Nate Schmidt in the expansion draft last summer. Since then, Schmidt has jumped from a fan-favorite but oft-scratched defenseman to Vegas’ de facto number-one D.
Our own genius designer Cara Bahniuk assembled some lovely signs that Caps fans brought to Capital One Arena this morning, along with a bunch of neat homemade offerings.

Schmidt seemed to appreciate the love.
