One hell of a ride, and it AIN'T ovver yet

Since day one of the Caps' existence, I've been here. Good, bad, indifferent...made no difference. I hung with them.
Which means, waiting...and waiting...and waiting for a Stanley Cup in the trophy case. Alas, no such luck.
Getting swept in '98 by the Red Wings stung like no one's business. And here we all thought that would be the Caps' only time to see a final.
Until now.

What happened last night (5/23) was a fricking catharsis to the entire region. Being on Twitter last night, and seeing my timeline go gaga, made me believe that perhaps THIS could be the year my wish comes true.

And this man deserves a Stanley Cup. 'Nuff said.

So now, we wait until Monday (5/29) for the finals to begin. I'm ready for it, as you can see:

How about the rest of Caps Nation?

 

Hockey's...back??

My God, it's been...what, 8 months sincee I last wrote on this blog? Yeah, I know it should've been sooner...for that, blame the NHL and the players' union for fucking the fans over.
But, that's ancient history now.This time next week, we're back to playing hockey...albeit a 50- or 48-game schedule. Whatever...
It just means the regular season is going to mean that much more to everyone. No more important than it will be for us Caps fans, after seeing how both the Nationals and Redskins made the postseason(s) in 2012. (And promptly bombed out in the 1st round...DAMMIT!!)
So now it's time to...

ROCK THE RED for 2013!!

Load of shit, is what it is

For the NHL to suspend Nicklas Backstrom for Thursday night...simply because he chose to defend Ovie after the final whistle Monday night...shows once again that the league office is waging a vendetta against the Caps.
This is only my opinion, mind you, but I'm sure you'll find other Caps fans might share my view...
At any rate, the game Thursday is gonna be interesting.

And we're tied up...

Wonderful to see Nicklas Backstrom get the game winner today...and see that Obama-hating douchebag Tim Thomas make a mad dash for the locker room like the fussy he is.
This asshole is to hockey what Kyle Busch is to NASCAR, to tell you the truth...a whiny turdburglar.
Anyway, back to the game. Braden Holtby once again played out of his head, but this time he kept his head in the game. (And rewarded for it.)
Now it's on to the Verizon Center on Monday night. Ladies and gentlemen, the fury WILL be unleashed!!
