Which is true, but I did not in any way make this into a personal thing with anyone. I have no problem discussing this with anyone, and yes the "lucky" comment was more for the agitation than anything else. And its fine to bash the PENS again I really don't get worked up about it like others...

Is your keyboard broken? You keep capitalizing "PENS."

As it should be when one is talking about "GREATNESS"...

But in all seriousness, I will admit that this was/is in all good fun. Not to make anyone or change anything about the PENS but on the real side me being me, I see similarities between the PENS and the CAPS. Last season was the first season in 5 years that the PENS finally got back to the playoffs, not as long as a drought as the CAPS but still none the less a long time. Let alone win there division, which took them 10 years to win another division title. Both have young up coming stars and it is finally nice to be on this side of a team for once where they are actually good and didnt just barely get into the playoffs (not intended about the CAPS, but the Redskins)...

I know.

Obviously not everyone here is a Capitals' fan, and not everyone needs to be. This isn't a Capitals fan site. But I'd say everyone should keep the hockey discussions to those who legitimately want to explain their team's (whether or not it's the Caps) strengths and weaknesses (strength: playing exceptionally well down the stretch, Ovechkin is Jordanesque in the clutch and Huet is allowing less than 2 goals per game since joining the Caps; weakness: not playoff tested, did they use up all their energy just getting to the playoffs),and leave the 8588's out of it. Otherwise, it can uneccesarily ugly.

8588 is a good member of this board, but-and he admits as much-in this case he's being very "Blue Star" and he's doing it on purpose. So if you think you're going to get bothered by him then it's probably best to just ignore him and essentially leave him out of the discussion.

I'll tell you this though, 8588 has absolutely succeeded in making me despise the Penguins at least for these playoffs. So kudos to you on that 8588

Well, I wasn't trying to win any CAP fans over by any means. What fun would it be if everyone just agreed with me or if I just agreed with all of you? Isn't this part of being fans? And besides that everyone knows that the PENGUINS are "AMERICA'S TEAM"...
