slappy, could you please remind us when was the last time the Caps won the Stanley Cup? Penguins last did in in '92, i believe. luckily, i'm sure it hasn't been that long for the Capitals, right?

i have fond memories of watching the red wings hoist the stanley cup in dc, where there were probably more red wings fans in attendance than caps fans… and talk about tacky a good number of them left, not sticking around to watch the cup be presented…
i pretty much gave up watching live hockey after moving to dc, because the caps have this amazing ability to suck the talent out of any team they play and was never impressed with their fans either.

Let's get some things straight, I'm not goofing around because I think the Caps are greatest teams. I'm not even saying the Caps fans are the greatest.
I'm saying Pen's fans are generally a bunch of idiots. They can't be objective when it comes to the NHL. If they didn't get Mario back in the day there wouldn't be a Pittsburgh Penguins. They got lucky by getting Crosby to save the team again. (It could be said Ovechkin could be the Caps savior.)
Their fans have become overly cocky when this time last year the city almost lost the team. Remember just a few years ago when the Pen's sucked, they were in last place in attendance.
A team from the West will take the cup again this year anyway.

real hockey fans would have stuck around to watch the rewarding of one of the most coveted trophys regardless of who was being awarded it… it's not like a event that happens everyday…

Yeah and the Pens would have continued to suck for another 3 to 4 years before they were moved to Florida, Dallas, or California.
Remember the Hartford Whalers?
Hey, I'm grateful we got Ovie and are building a team that will soon be a contender.
Ovechkin named NHL first star of week Once you start learning the NHL doesn't revolve around the Pens the more respect you'll earn as fans.

but for pens fans, the game does revolve around the pens. good for them.
once you start sticking around to see the Cup being awarded to the league's champion - your team or not - the more respect you'll earn as a real NHL fan. only bandwagoners and cry-babies bail when their team loses the finals. a true hockey fan can appreciate the special moment that is the hoisting of the Cup, no matter who is underneath it.
sorry slappy, but it's getting harder and harder to take you seriously.

That's funny!
Tip: If you're attempting to dis Ovie to prove Crosby superiority. Don't use a picture of Ovie next to the Calder trophy that Crosby LOST.
Tip 2: It's hockey, not America's Top Model. I'll take Chelios and Brind'Amour on my team anyday. You seem to like Malkin even though he looks like Frankenberry.

Were you actually at game 4 or did you mean on TV? I was at game 3 and had tickets for game 6 (which, of course, never happened).

i was at verizon center for game 4, there were absolutely more red wings fans than caps fans. it was pretty neat to see the stanley cup awarded in person, and then they rolled out the dude in the wheelchair and he held the cup and it was kinda touching. konstantinov? kozlov? who knows?
i'll sell you that memory/story, kramer-peterman style, julian. how much you willing to give me for it?
