C-A-P-S! CAPS CAPS CAPS!

my schedule changed so i don't have to mangle the show tonight, and a friend found some late release tix, so i'll be at the game. somewhere in the rafters, i'm sure.

let's go caps!

my mood at the club later will be directly related to how the game goes.

a few of us are meeting up at RFD's before the game, folks should feel free to come join us. i'll be the guy in the red shirt.

thatguy - i'll be up in the rafters too, 421 row N. i'll keep an eye out for you. maybe we can share a cab back to the club after the game, since i'll be headed there too.

bummer.
everytime you make it on the big HD screen, we seem to win. they flashed to your area after a goal last game, nice to see you rocking the red.

i'm not superstitious like that, but my presence on the screen has nothing to do with where my seats are. i've had seats all over the arena this season. hell, sometimes they put me up there when i'm not even at the game.

last game, i won a stick autographed by the whole team. i was there with my cousins, and they couldn't believe that i won something with the ticket they randomly gave me. some people have suggested a conspiracy, but i don't think there is one.

Well I am back home in Richmond after the Joe Jackson show on Thursday night and the hockey game tonight. I have a great time at both. Looks like my thoughst on the game were pretty accurate. The Flyers kep #8 out of the game until well into teh 3rd period. Then he got an assist (I think on the goal to tie the game) and had a beautiful steal to score the game winning goal. The Caps outplayed the Flyers the entire 3rd period. I dont think the Flyers bet the Caps to a single puck and maybe had 3 shots in the period.

Looks like it is goiong to be one hell of a series. See y'all at another game soon!

Those who went to the game witnessed this but reading about it, I mean DAMN…

Does anyone have the presale password for tomorrows presale for possible Home games 3 and 4 for round 1?????

my foray into the rafters was a blast, but today i'm back down on the main concourse. i lost an ebay auction for seats near the top, but then ticketmaster gave me the gift of section 112 row d late last night.

LET'S GO CAPS!

i just still cant believe i went to almost every game for 3 years and now all of a sudden they win 10 games or so at the end of the year and all of DC is going to games now.

i know good teams call for better attendance but jeeeez….i even saw an Ovechkin jersey in Baltimore on Friday, the first one i've seen in 3 years. i hope all these fans are still around come October.

Well the series is now on! Bother games in DC were tough. Again it boilded down to the Flyers being ble to control #8. They couldnt in gamne one (not for the whoel game anyway), but they did in game 2. The outcomes were directly related to this (IMHO). Now on to Philly to see what happens next. You gotta love playoff hockey!

caps fans, you should be proud of yourselves……way to show up in the last 5 or 6 games of the season! you really know how to support a team through thick and thin, kudos. now you LOVE the caps! wow, what a bozo fanbase.

on a side note, mike green is a douchebag. there are two peeple that overcame the dork-factor assumed by tucking in their jersey: gretzky and jagr. even with those guys it's pretty dorky. what a tool. tuck it in Green, you're the man!

Game 5 is on sale now. I'll be there.

PS "Rock the Red" shirts are MUCH cheaper at Modells. They are $10 less to be exact. Everyone probably knew this already, but I just found it yesterday. It fits great too.

if someone could please PM me the presale password, i'd be very grateful. i can't make game 5 (home game 3), but would be willing to take a chance on game 7 tickets. presale is only on for another hour and a half…

ORANGE you getting a little scared now? (Inside joke there.)

the flyers are a better team

the capitals have a better player

I just dont see how the latter wins out in a
7-game series.

i hope you're wrong about that sonick, except for the "7 game" part since i just picked up tickets for it :)

wow… seats available this morning were just as bad as during the presale last night. ugh. after numerous tries at seeing what's available, i'm under the impression that they've eliminate the $37 price-point in the name of revenue maximization… i.e. all the upper cheapies are $50. did anyone get a $37 seat for game 5 or 7?

so i had to go for $50 seats - which are NO better than the $37 ones we had last week!

now let's pray that i get to use those tickets, and not lose $23 on non-refundable TM fees. goddam racket they got going there - rape you if you do, rape you if you don't… sigh.

Based on what?
Better special teams, that's about it. And that is kinda a wash since the Flyer's have shown a tendency to rack up high PIMs.

They're pretty evenly matched.
Semin, Green, Backstrom, Huet have shown the Caps are more than Ovie. (Just not yesterday.)

Prolly the best way to get tickets–especially if you don't want to be accused of being a fair-weather fan–is to do what I did: sign up for season tickets for next year and get super savings on playoff tix w/NO service charge. My GF and I enjoyed games 1 and 2 in great $50 uppers for $19 each!

Plus, you get billed after each round is over. No play, no pay.

The only downside to all this may come on 4/22. I hope like hell Lou Reed gets another opener, or that the series doesn't go 7 games!

I might have an extra e-ticket for this weekend's game if anyone is looking for one at face. I can't wait. I don't get CSN so I can't even watch most of the games…

Well now we have had a third hard fought game in a row. Series is still a long way from over. For the second game in a row the Flyers looked to be out playing the Caps. A few questionable calls in the game, but I have to say most went the Flyers way. Being a hockey player myself, I would have been livid had that penalty shot been awarded to an opponent. One of the handful of requirements to award the penalty shot is that the penalized player does not get a shot off and pretty damn clearly Huet had to make a save on the play. Game #4 will be very interesting to say the least and I'm not so sure I want to be in the Verizon center for game #5! :) You gotta love playoff hockey…
