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?

 

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.

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!!!
