Six weeks after Caps public address announcer Wes Johnson had a medical emergency and was found unresponsive in a hotel room in Atlanta, he returned to the microphone at Capital One Arena.
“I’m pumped. I’m excited. I don’t have the words,” Johnson said. “It feels like I was just here, and it feels like I’ve been gone a million years.”
Before his return to his booth, Johnson watched the games at home and some in the stands. Two days before his return, Johnson did a trial run with doing pre-game ad readings before warmups.
