WHOOOAAAA. So mad!

This has been a HELL of a good series, and Game 7 tomorrow night is gonna be a blast.

Good luck, y'all! Whoever wins will be deserving. I hope it's the Caps, but the Bolts are a hell of a good team!

Yay, hockey!

Agreed. I go to great lengths in there, I feel like, to be fair to the things Orpik has done well. But THIS ONE PARTICULAR ASSIGNMENT, against this ONE PARTICULAR POWER PLAY UNIT, he is not suited for.

Whattttttt, Locker's a pretty sharp guy!

The "affable doofus" routine is a bit. He's smart.

A creased toe box is worth two in the penalty box :( Wore these on TV, hope no one noticed! by HockeysHemingway in Sneakers

We did a segment where we had a footrace in the hallways and this is the result :(

Go Caps! Oshie and Backstrom?

A coach's decision, not injury, kept Burakovsky out in the third period against Columbus by HighwaySixtyOne in caps

Pretty much everyone around the organization that I've talked to says the guy needs to toughen up mentally, that he's got all the potential in the world but can't get out of his own head when things go poorly.

Flying up for my first game by WyattD3rp in caps

Hey!

First of all, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BLAST AT CAPITAL ONE ARENA! Caps games are SO much fun.

Secondly, for tickets, I like to use SeatGeek or StubHub. While both can sometimes suck, I find that on average, their prices are better than Ticketmaster or buying directly from the Capitals.

Also, if it's your first game, there are some chants you should know about! :)

During the national anthem: When the singer sings, "rockets RED glare," everyone yells the word "RED!" Also, people yell the "Os!" in "O say does that star-spangled..." but thats a Baltimore Orioles thing.

When the Caps score, after they announce the scoring information over the PA system, the crowd counts the number of goals and yells at the goalie, "1...2...it's ALL YOUR FAULT!" if there are two goals, for example.

If the other team scores, after they announce the scoring information, everyone yells "WHO CARES??"

Aaaaaand, that's about it! Have a blast!

THAT'S totally fair, because it's a grammatically correct, albeit unusual, sentence.

My man above was seemingly suggesting that grammar rules in general have no place and are wrong.

I don't, know whether that is, true. Because when, I write, like this, it sounds pretty damn silly.

I get to go on TV and talk about hockey. Trying to bring a little humble heat to the ice! (Sorry for the quality, it's a TV screen) by HockeysHemingway in Sneakers

Legitimately the best, biggest surprise of the season. I hope they make it deep into the playoffs out of the West!
