25 - Number of seasons spent in the broadcast booth for Caps games for Craig Laughlin, the anniversary of which will be celebrated during tonight's game. Locker has been a fixture on the air since taking the gig in the summer of 1990, and has established himself as a fun-loving voice with a ton of hockey knowledge.
When he was traded here with Langway and others in 1982 - "the Locker trade," as Patrick jokingly calls it - he asked the defenseman "where the heck are we going?" But in the next few years, after the Caps lost in the playoffs, the players would all party for one day (or three), and then just about everybody would leave town.
