Comments on: In Defense Of Twitter http://www.russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2012/01/23/in-defense-of-twitter/ A cheerfully demented Washington Capitals site with a healthy fixation on Alex Ovechkin and his Russian bros. CRASH THE NET!

I think he’s gotten better (like Ovechkin) since the coaching change.

But other than the Caps sucking more than a vacuum that night, it went pretty well. :)

It does. Trust me.

I think we’re all painfully embarrassed when we screw up — even on the tiniest and most inconsequential of things. And yeah that tweet was totally my fault the other night. I still feel embarrassed now that you remind me of it! Haha. Thanks a lot!

I still haven’t heard who took the buses down that night. Was it the Caps Fan Club?

On Friday afternoon someone told the folks at District Sports Page that the Caps Road Crew were in Raleigh for the game, and without confirming they put up a blog post about it.  

This was completely false; in fact most of the regular Roadies were instead at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern for the Caps viewing party.  The CRC had no group going on the road for that game (their group will travel to RBC Center on Feb. 20th).  The head Roadie and Director of the CRC got in touch with them and the blog post was removed.

Then, early in the game the RMNB twitter account sent out a message to the Caps Road Crew saying “LET ‘EM KNOW YOU’RE THERE.”   

It was an honest, if careless, mistake. Kudos to RMNB for owning it.  I hope things like this drive you folks to better yourselves.  In the mean time, keep up the good work.
