Re: Washington Capitals 2010-2011 ongoing thread

When the Bruins were down 0-2 to MTL I was asking Caps fans if there was room on their band wagon, now this morning one guy came up and was like got room on the Bruins band wagon. I said sure hope on!

Talk about losing hope way to soon. But then again, your Bruins only gave hope to the enemy in the past and will do it again (Up 3-0, lost 4-3:FIREdevil).

Sounds like sour grapes.

Looks like Boudreau is gonna dodge the ax, which I think is a bad decision by McPhee/Leonsis. At what point is there accountability instead of excuses?

Great read by Boswell on their situation. I recommend it for any Caps fan:

Yes, in part due to Dr. Recchi and Ference's bird.

But, I'll stop there, as I am now reminded of the bald and lazy Alasxican and the mediocre coach that has put me in state of shame regarding my own hockey team's performance.

I don't know who to root for. On one hand the Canucks represent us and if they win the cup that gives us hope that we can eventually overcome early playoff exits. On the other hand I'm freaking tired of hearing about how much better the West is and how we should just automatically hand the Cup to the West winner.

Bruins hip hip hooray!!!! What a great playoff run. I have now seen all my teams win a championship in my lifetime. Redskins, Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics.

WOW! Just saw that. Sad. Everyone had them winning this series when they were up 2-0 the media was acting like they had already raised the cup.

We should not be surprised. The Canadians riot whether they win or lose. They rioted when we beat them in the Olympics last time and then rioted when they won the Gold.


Police cars burned, stores looted in Montreal hockey riot - Montreal - CBC News

Nice list:

A list of significant hockey riots in Canada - NHL - Yahoo! Canada Sports

Heck, some Canadians riot BEFORE the games because they don't want the Olympics in Canada.

Ditto!!!! Way to go Bruins!!!! (Don't follow hockey much, but I was around for the '70 & '72 wins, just too young to remember).

Canucks fans suck, booing throughout the Cup presentation, rioting, etc. Embarrasment to their country and to a league that's trying to regain its image and fan base.
