Our season, shot to hell

When it mattered most, what did the Caps do tonight against the Sabres?
One word: C-H-O-K-E!!
5-1 your final.
That's all I'm saying tonight. I'm disgusted. Bring on baseball...

Bandwagons: WHO the fuck needs 'em?

Normally, I wouldn't address anything like this...but after having spent the bulk of this night on Twitter, I have to.
Okay, so the Caps fucked up tonight against the Blackhawks (your final, 5-2 Chicago). It's a disturbing pattern, I admit. But what's even more disturbing is watching Caps fans (on Twitter) backbite one another.
And coming after ME...just because I dared to point out that the "old-school" white jerseys represent tradition...does not work for you!!
I have backed this franchise SINCE IT'S EXISTENCE, people!! That gives me the right to say what I want about the pathetic effort being showcased night after night by this Caps "team".
(Take a good hard look at the picture below. They could probably do better than what I'm seeing out of the Caps right now.)
There. I've vented enough for one night...

Strange night in Hershey

Almost 2 a.m. Sunday morning as I'm writing this. Got back 20 minutes ago from Hershey, where I saw the Bears eke out a 3-2 win (2-1 shootout).
Refereeing? Fucking atrocious--and that's being lenient. Tripping calls (Bears players being tripped, that is) right in front of me, and the ref not even looking at the play!!
Sloppy play on the Bears' part, but...it's still a win nonetheless.
(The picture, btw, is of the mascot Coco. I snapped it during the 2nd intermission.)

We're toast. Let's face REALITY, gang.

Let me see if I have this right. The Caps take a 2-0 lead on Carolina, give up 3 unanswered goals, come back in the 3rd period to tie it up...
And Mike Green can't get his stick up to deflect a 2-on-1 break??
I hate to break this to my fellow Caps fans, but...any shot we have at making the Stanley Cup playoffs went bye-bye tonight.

At last, a win!!

FINALLY, the Caps remember how to win a game. Basically after the 2nd period this game was decided.
Now to keep this up come tomorrow night...

All right, ENOUGH'S enough!!

If the Caps are gonna mail it in the rest of the season, I have one favor to ask:
Just put Braden Holtby in goal the rest of the way, all right?? I gotta have some reason to use this picture...lol

DOUBLE my pleasure?

For some reason, these blog entries are showing up twice.
Oh well, at least this picture won't be duplicated...LMAO

Undefeated? The CAPS?? Shit, THIS is good...

     I don't fricking believe this...the Caps 6-0-0 at this point of the season.

     Never imagined this coming...LMAO
     While I'm at it, I never saw Tomas Vokoun coming down the pike either. Suddenly, we've forgotten Semyon Varlamov was even here in Washington. Go figure...

     But at least we know Ovie's back in form, what with 2 goals last night (Thursday, 10/20). ALWAYS bet on #8, people!!
     Look, even I can see the Caps ain't going 84-0-0...so I'm enjoying this while I can.

     Done, people. See you next time.

     Gary

All right, WHO made the mistake?

     And here I thought Semyon Varlamov had a future in Washington. Stupid-ass me...LMFAO
     I find out today, that Varly's been traded to Colorado for a 1st-round pick in next year's NHL Draft plus a 2nd-rounder in either 2012 or '13. Either way, it seems to me that either Varly or the Caps have made a colossal fuck-up here.
     I wish I knew...

     So it looks as though Michal Neuwirth is here to stay...for now. A lot can change between now and the start of the season. Who knows what'll happen next?

Now, an introduction

     Greetings, one and all. And welcome to the debut of my Capitals fan blog.
     Originally I was going to call it "Alex the 8...Simply Sensational!!", after an old FanNation group of mine. But this one's better...lol
     Anyway, as to me...

     I am not a "bandwagoneer" (is that a fucking word?). I've followed the Caps since DAY ONE of the franchise. So I know what it was "back in the day"...as some of these pics attest.
     When it comes time for hockey to pick back up, I'll be here. Till then...UNLEASH THE FURY, AND ROCK THE RED!!!
