Donald Brashear in Washington on Ovechkin's invitation

Gone, but not forgotten...

Greg Wyshynski: HUGE ovation for Donald Brashear, in the house watching Caps. Showed fight clips on Jumbotron. Chant of "Don-ald."


Dan Rosen: Donald Brashear in the house. He's getting a standing ovation. I'm serious. Donald Brashear is getting a standing O. They love this guy here


TarikElBashir: Mike Wise reports that he ran into Donald Brashear downstairs at VC. He's Ovechkin's guest.

HOWARD FENDRICH, AP:

After spectators in Montreal booed the U.S. national anthem before Game 3, a few jeers were heard at the outset of the Canadian national anthem Friday, but they were quickly drowned out by applause.

The crowd roared and gave a standing ovation when former Capitals enforcer Donald Brashear was shown on the above-ice video screen, sitting in the stands. Brashear acknowledged the cheers by blowing a kiss.
