Thanks for clearing this up Peter. The BBBB nickname isn’t dumb at all, I like it. It correlates very well with GMGM.

@BobbyG,

Bench Boss Bruce Boudreau. It’s dumb, but it’s like a pair with GMGM. Sorry.

@DarkStranger44: I might have patience with the Caps, it’s being tested and pushed to the limit. I have no answers to what’s wrong with the Caps, only my opinion, but I decided not to get carried away with speculation and to stay the course instead, at least for the time being. I hope they don’t break my heart…AGAIN.

@Peter Hassett and/or IRockTheRed: maybe I’m missing something, but what does BBBB mean as a nickname? I tried to figure it out from the posted SNL video link, and no luck. I assume it has to do with Coach Boudreau, but that’s it. Please help me out here.

Scalpers arrested, really? Wow. That’s new. I do think the scalper situation was on Ted L’s list of 100 things to address.

Srlsly, last night was the 77th consecutive sell-out? Using the new math? Counting in base 8? I know that plenty, probably most, of the empty seats were paid for just not used. But a sell-out? I am very suspicious of this claim.

The Capitals organization confirms that last night’s game was indeed a sell-out. 77th straight.

yep… VC was very empty last night. I was talking to a guy after the 1st period and he said that before the game he saw the cops take away a bunch of scalpers in handcuffs…….

A Caps spokesperson just said the flu has hit the team inc Semin, Carlson, Backs and Laich. Ummm, guys, anyone ever heard of a FLU SHOT? Not 100% protection, but still a good idea.

I was at the game last night an did not see an announcement that it was the latest consecutive sold out game. From the hundreds of empty seats in every section, this was not a surprise.

After reading all the news clips and whatnot, I have feelings for the Caps right now that are not negative. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but…I am feeling something weird inside about the boys right now. I’ve only heard about this kind of feeling, never experienced it, especially in hockey…I think it’s called something like…compassion or something. I feel bad for them–I know they make a lot of $$, they need to get their asses in gear, and they need to deliver the results that are expected of them by their coaches, their fans, and themselves. But…I am feeling all gross this morning with all this compassion inside me bubbling over for these boys.

Anyway, I don’t think the slump or the losing streak is over, and it could be a long time before they snap out of it, and there’s NO excuse for the way they’re playing, but…something is wrong with them. Something is wrong with this team. Time for a heart-checking, gut-wrenching, tear-spilling, captian-changing, bitch-slapping team meeting. Somebody call in Mike Green’s sports psychologist for a consultation.

I know that I am a recent caps fan, but being a fan in Cleveland says something for hanging on. I really wish that the team would treat every game like the playoffs and win. Good job to Varly! And shouldn’t everyone else atleast look like they were playing on the same ice. With a team that appears to enjoy one player games this one seemed to have bitten them.

Concur that the loss does not reflect badly on Varly just on every other Cap on the ice last night. I saw Ovi standing around on the ice so often I wondered if he was looking for the X2 bus. The Panthers turned the Phone Booth into the Litter Box. (And with three cats at home, I know from cat poop.)
