No self respecting male hockey fan would ever say such blasphemy. Clearly that was some girl who could care less how the Caps do. And as long as the Caps are the only winning team in town, of course they'll have fans like that. Every winning team does.

I just wish Leonsis would stick to trying to have a winner or now winners (considering he owns the Wizards) rather than selling tickets. He won't have either to worry about if he continues to raise ticket prices.

Decent win for the Caps tonight. Now if they could just win on the road.

Sucks out here we get 0 hockey

Re: Washington Capitals 2011-2012 Ongoing Thread
 

It'll be interesting to see what happens tonight. Personally the team got lucky with a bad Montreal team. You don't give a team that many powerplays to come away with 0 goals against (on PP that is).

McPhee better pull something out of his ass, otherwise Leonsis needs to cut ties. Though I think we all know he'd make some excuse up for him, "this wasn't the team we put together, injuries happened," maybe he'll even blame the refs as he's done quite a few times?

oh the caps, just like every team in washington they are losing in grand fashion and just barely staying in it. taking a must win game to a shootout because boston scored two goals in the last 4 minutes isn't good hockey. but atleast we got to see another matt hendricks shake and bake. he put thomas on his ass, so awesome.

Yeah I was watching the game last night, and Hendricks made Tim Thomas look like a f'n rookie on that SO goal. He absolutely fakes the shit out of goalies with that move he does.

The Caps are still inconsistent as ever, so I have no clue if they'll be able to grab that 8 seed from Buffalo. We'll see I guess.

Just got a text saying Nicky will be back in the lineup tonight. I'm glad to have him back, although I'm sure it will take him some time to get used to his normal self.

sweet. i was hoping we would have locked up the playoff spot by now and he would be back just in time for the playoffs. it's gonna be nice to have him back, this will be there first time him and green have been in the lineup together in forever it seems

Re: Washington Capitals 2011-2012 Ongoing Thread
 

Hell. YEAH!

Re: Washington Capitals 2011-2012 Ongoing Thread
 

Very nice to see them lock up their 5th consecutive playoff spot tonight, but the previous 4 haven't worked out so well so I don't know what to anticipate. And this team clearly isn't as good as in years past, I can't remember a recent Caps team that has blown as many leads as this team has. I started getting concerned when Florida came back to bring the score to 3-2, especially with the way they stayed in our zone in the 3rd period. The caps didn't allow a lot of shots though, so there's that at least, and we got a clutch goal from Semin to secure it at the end. Doesn't matter if they win the division or not though, all you need is a ticket to the big dance.

I won't say thank god for them, but I will give you kudos for coming back on the Sabres last night so we could clinch.
