We don’t have horrible sports either, we have something like 7 championships in the bast 10 years…

I like those nicknames for our players too… you should have spent more time thinking those up.

And that photo is where they hold the circus… sweet.

I suspect most of us Caps fans would agree that it’s not a bad way to go.

(sigh, poor poti…) but fuck it is cold up there!!! and i was there for 2 supposedly “mild” winters, aurgh!!! anyways, after being thrilled for their cup win over the dreaded canucks a year ago, this year i’ve clearly seen the Bs for the goons that they are. so, visit boston (in the summer, mind you! and don’t miss the “make way for ducklings” sculpture in the common) and have no worries about getting hurt or sick, as the hospitals are excellent. but fuck the bruins, LET’S GO CAPS!!!
