As I ranted about in the post game thread you all need to be here next year. No hopping off the wagon and no overreacting. Because we lost to a better team that out played us over the course of 6 games. So don't talk about choke jobs or "I quit on this team" here. Because you and I damn know that this city isn't that good in sports, and they always set you up to tear you down. All the hyped teams in this city fail to deliver, so it's not only the Caps.
IT's just something you have to deal with as a DC / MD / VA resident. And tomorrow is another day. So just go to work tomorrow and wear your Caps jersey and be PROUD to support their effort throughout this year.
They didn't choke. They didn't collapse. They were just outplayed by a better team. It happens. That's why the President's Trophy is so meaningless. And people thought that the Caps were entitled to the championship, their dumb 15 or whatever they wore on their hats like they were ENTITLED to play that many more wins. No. You earn those wins on the ice. And you get four wins first before you start thinking of 15 and the cup.
It's the playoffs. Every team comes at every team hard because its for the cup.It's tough being the President Trophy Winner, every other team is coming at you hard because they want to be that one who took them down.
Every year all my life we've been saying "Next year!"
My best friend from high school used to watch a lot of caps games with me and we figured we had our whole life ahead of us to wait for a win.
Well, he died two months ago. He watched the Caps for his whole life and now he's dead and he didn't get to see them win ****ing ****.
So, I'll tune in next October, but I need to start thinking practically or in other terms because getting my hopes up has been a waste of time.
Could be worse... multiple generations of Cubs fans have been born and died and look what they've been through. Then again, the Cubs don't go to the playoffs every year.
How many times has Toronto won the presidents trophy
stop being so bitter ix and just post spam like you normally do. Not that anyone actually reads it
