I'm not saying the Caps should pursue Quinn Hughes at any cost (they should), but if you don't get what the fuss is about, you're simply not paying attention - this is not the type of dude that comes available basically ever.

Although the Houston ICE arrestee is described in the story as part of the Afghan army, his attorney identifies him as a veteran of the Kandahar Strike Force—aka the QSF or NDS-03, the CIA’s Afghan surrogate force in Kandahar.

Vapor cone forming around an F-18 near the speed of sound.
Also known as a shock collar, a vapor cone is a visible cloud of condensed water that can sometimes form around an object moving through moist air at high speeds, such as a fighter jet approaching the sound barrier.

Something important to remember regarding the NHL playoffs. As a fan, my/your team is 100% innocent and clean, the opposing team cheats and is dirty, and the league is clearly rigging the series in the opposing team's favor.
