Long waiting to get in, plus it was so cold outside, plus no horn guy, as a result nothing left to unleash or to rock, everything and everybody were frozen.

Given that I’ve only been going to games for four years now, I have to say that last night’s game was the worst fan experience I’ve had at VC. The “improvements” to the ticketing system generated 10+ minute lines getting in as some tickets, cards, or credit cards didn’t scan correctly (just give me my d*** paper tickets back – I tried to print mine out the afternoon of the game, and the Ticketmaster account manager was down, so I had a 25 minute wait on hold with Guest Services for a very grumpy rep to e-mail me the pdfs of the tickets, but that’s another story)…
The 400 level escalator was stopped, the video monitors were going in and out, the ref had no audio announcing penalties, no fury unleashing (I’ve seen them not do that before when the Caps were way down), and the 19/20 players on the home team forgot to show up.

I really thought that they would go all out for this game, given the perceived need to win fans back, but I guess not.

Wait…. there was no “Unleash the Fury” last night?!

What.

How long before pitchers and catchers report? Hard to get interested in a hockey season that starts in the end of January.

I really think “Unleash The Furry” would’ve helped. Fans were starting cheers in their respective sections, but as a whole, I felt an overall lack of cohesive excitement from the VC fans. I didn’t even know Goat was there. We need The Horn Guy back STAT!

I love this game! I love this sport! And I love my Caps!! It really was like going home again….I was so happy to see my friends at the concession stand (one of whom used to work at the Caps Center and has literally watched me grow up from when I was 12) the guy who used to check my bag, and the people in the section. It was so good to see so many familiar faces….even if most of them did bail after the 2nd period. I wouldn’t have been anywhere else last night!

Great- Goat’s got shin splints, I have Coke Zero withdrawal and where the hell was “Unleash the Fury”? Isn’t that supposed to get the fans pumped up? Instead, poor Hendy’s going to have matching shiners that make him look like Batman. I think we should give him an Honorary Gordy Howe Hat Trick since he couldn’t assist w/ Brouwer’s goal only because he was in the locker room after fight #2. Seriously, though- 46 games left… it’s gonna be okay.
