It’s Caps Bobblehead Voting Time!!

Finally, a vote we don’t have to stress over. Ok we admit, we are undecided which of the three options are our favorite. Tonight is the night to cast your vote for the next promotional give-away bobblehead on March 21st. Use the hashtags #capselectionnight and #voteholtby #votewilson or #votewilliams on Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram to cast your vote(s). You have until 9 pm

Here are your options:

Braden Holtby (squirting a water bottle) – so so many pictures we couldn’t include them all!

Tom Wilson (as Wilson from “Cast Away”) Who can forget this memorable getup from Halloween last year with rommie Michael Latta. (A vote for Tom is a vote for Latta in our twisted minds)

Justin Williams (with bed-head) And then there was the moment when JWill reveal his inner self for the entire world. He even had his mom shaking her head. And yes, LA Kings votes are acceptable…right???
