So is it going dark? It's the best site by far for cap analysis/data since Capgeek went down (rip Matthew Wuest)

Edit: yes

You can definitely see why a team would want this infrastructure. After the transaction officially closes, the website will go dark.

Yup

 

[LeafChief]

Well this absolutely sucks for us. That website is excellent.

 

[gojetsgo]

fans everywhere lose

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

f*** off

So now fans will have nothing

 

[Bounces R Way]

damn you Capitals
An obvious ploy to just delete their bad contracts and put them on other teams. The league will never catch on.

 

[Ghoste]

Bummer. Thanks Caps

 

[majormajor]

It's funny because many clubs use it. The Caps are cutting their competitors off.

 

[CanadienShark]

f*** the Capitals. Seriously what could they possibly have against hockey fans? And what do they stand to gain?

 

[Tifosi]

I’m sure somebody already have a clone in the works.

 

[EveryDay]

F*** you Washington!

 

[DieselPig]

Well this absolutely sucks..

 

[Nemec]

They will prob launch a subscription model. Still a dick move.

Someone is bound to to scrape and rebuild it in their own image. You can see the GapGeek influence in CapFriendly.

 

[Drake1588]

Like CapGeek to CapFriendly before, someone will fill that gap with a website soon enough. It'll be rough for fans until they do, though.

I wonder how quickly it takes someone to fill that clearly-needed public niche? It's a real opportunity for someone of an entrepreneurial bent.

 

[Emerica]

wtf

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Terrible news but someone will come by and make a replacement just like friendly replaced capgeek

 

[metalan2]

But why? I don't even understand.

 

[EveryDay]

It means that the Capitals management are too dumb to build their own software, bunch of idiots .

 

[CanadienShark]

I will now cheer against the Caps next season solely because f*** that organization.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Time to start the next cap website before 10 others all try to jump in.

However the entire Washington Capitals franchise is near to the lowest in the NHL now right around the Blackhawks.

 

[Ace]

f*** off Washington

f*** all the way off

 

[Peasy]

A few weeks ago i thought to myself its impressive capfriendly still hasnt been bought up. and here we are... a dark day.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Puckpedia will get more hits now.
