WASHINGTON (WUSA9)-- Not many Capitals fans know that Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak is also a 13-year season ticket holder for the Caps.

However, it became very clear that Sajak was a Caps fan when he made his way to the ice before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final to announce the lineups.

But no matter how many times he professed his love for the Washington team, fans everywhere let it be known that maybe there could have been a better choice.

Pat Sajak? Jumpin' Jesus, they just should've let @WesJohnsonVoice voiceover a DC Imperial Guard with "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM," as he's pointing at the Vegas bench.

When I saw Pat Sajak as the top trending topic I thought he was either arrested or he had died. Turns out I should have known, because this is Canada, that he was involved in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Could there have been better choices for the Capitals?

Of course.

But at least Sajak has a D.C. connection.

What's Kenan Thompson's excuse?
