HFboards is the scum of the internet as far as hockey discussion goes. The fact that they are ever referenced to reflect a fan base is a joke.
I actually lived in DC at one point for a few years so if people here want to claim Pens fans are fairweather, then DC is worse. I didn't meet one person who could name a player outside of maybe 3 players on the team. No one knew anything about the team before Ovechkin was drafted and they are all obsessed with the Penguins. I can assure you there are far more bandwagon Caps fans than there are Pens fans.
Do you even listen to the **** that is spewed on this Caps sub during the playoffs? Do you think no one has jumped on the Caps bandwagon? Are you that dense?
