Definitely glad to be rid of that record, but I ain't getting my hopes up for the playoffs. It'd be nice to be surprised but DC has left me very jaded over the years for never advancing past the second round.

Dude what is it about D.C. Sports teams? Capitals, wizards, redskins and the Nats? I the maybe the Maryland championship(04?) and the George mason final four run...I guess that's given the town a little relief sports wise?

It's tough being D.C. Sports fan...the caps have to be the most disappointing. Too good and the window is closing

Yup. Caps definitely most disappointing, for having such a great team over the years. Even when they go up 3-1 in a series I still don't get my hopes up lol, they just can't close the deal. They were the 3-1 chokers before the Warriors ever came along. They probably have this year and possibly next before the window is closed. Ovi is starting to age this year (recent hat trick notwithstanding) and we have a good team around him, but they are going to have to shed some players this offseason.

We know the deal with the Wizards, I know they are a better team this year but playoffs is partially luck combined with skill. Sometimes you need the bounces to go your way to advance. Like I said I'd love to see them advance and break this DC curse of no major sports teams appearing in the conference finals since '01 but I won't get my hopes up.

as wiz fans I completely understand. I really think this is finally our best team, but we def need a couple things to go our way. One would be Boston or Cleveland to lose in the first round.
