O Captain! My Captain!

So I was at my friend's house and we were sitting on her floor and under her bed was an old Washingtonian Magazine from March of this year. I was leafing through it as we were doing a Mad Libs and found this and thought it was quite interesting

And I was about to type it all up but then found it online. So it's okay.

How much does it hurt to take an Alex Ovechkin slap shot in the ear? Chris Clark takes inventory of his years of pain with the Capitals.

A pro hockey player hits the ice bundled in protective equipment—helmet, shoulder pads, shin guards, padded pants. A lot of good all that gear has done for Capitals captain and winger Chris Clark.

A list of injuries from Clark’s four seasons with the Caps reads like a police report from a car wreck—crushed palate, lacerated ear, chipped teeth, and more. Though teammates say he plays through pain, injuries have kept him out of more than 100 games—and counting. Surgery in February on a nagging wrist injury probably will sideline him for the year.

Clark’s hard-nosed play, reminiscent of legendary Caps enforcer Dale Hunter, is partly to blame. But as this catalog of war wounds suggests, he’s also had a run of bad luck.

What a fighter. Through all of these injuries he still plays his heart out every game. He plays so hard. He's our captain and we will be forever loyal to his "hard-nosed play." WE LOVE YOU CLARKIE.
