Every team has bad nights. Think about how Boston felt that fated night here in DC when they lost to the crowds chants of “We Want WINGS!” Before the entire team has groin pulls or ends up in the box for losing control…lets have some perspective. It’s not about losing face…they aren’t going to take your awards away…put on your big boy pants and move on…to win!
C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS!!!

Saturday’s game was tough to watch, so let’s put it behind us and move on. Miller shut out NJD last night. Devil’s played hard but to no avail. Miller is just SUPER good. Keep up the good work Ted and Bruce, keep those boys in line and lets go for the BIG Ws. Thanks for the fun. LETS GO CAPS!!!

We’ll see how the response is tonight. While too many folks are watching election returns, I’ll be watching to see (hopefully) the Caps continue their recent domination of Ottawa!

Every team has a game like Saturday’s at some point or another. It’s how we respond to that game that really matters. I expect a spirited performance on Tuesday.

Ted,

The natives are restless - we don’t like to see the team lose any game but we hate to see them lose because they simply didn’t put forth the effort required to win. Like other fans I was happy that the team was kept intact but worried that being so close to the salary cap prevents ownership from making some necessary moves. I honestly think that your presence at the practice will make a difference - now the players know that you are concerned and involved. Thank you for everything - you’re what ownership should be.

You were right at the beginning of the season when you pointed out that the last time expectations were this high going in, it did not end as everyone wanted.
I think this team is amazing, but it really REALLY needs to stop believing its own press and just play the game they’re accustomed to.

And is Ovechkin’s grandfather still alive? The blog ‘Alex Ovejkin’ says he died. I sure hope not.

I agree Ted all I want as a fan is too see hard work playing Bruce’s system for 60 minutes. If we lose playing with heart I can live with that, I should say I want every player to play with heart and I can live with that no more counting on only one guy, it’s not fair. I am 100% confident that this team oodles talent and heart, I saw it first hand last year so to see them essentially not stick with the game plan is so frustrating and simply mind blowing. I hope they learned their lesson and come out to play on Tuesday night, because they are too good to be selling themselves and us fans short! I also want to thank Bruce for holding them responsible.

LET’S GO CAPS!
