“Crosby Sucks” t-shirt is terrible! We have plenty to celebrate about our team w/o having to lower ourselves to the fan base of other teams, PA…we should take a page out of another Big Red, Nebraska.

One last thing on our fans…the far too often collective rant of “refs you suck” is annoying and doesn’t benefit our team. Boo the no call/call, them move on…ever notice we tend to see another bad call in the same period this childish chant occurs? I a STH and I have too often.

Thanks Ted.

I was VERY hard to take yet another lose on home ice, but it being the Pens made it all the more awful! I did like the spirit the fans took towrds the Pens, some might have been borderline vulgar, but some made me chuckle. The hatred for a certain Penguin is valid, well in my eyes, the way he tends to embellish in all that he says and does. But I also agree with Tim that we really shouldn’t have put the signs up on the jumbo screen, would we want other arenas to show that little respect for our Caps? Well, I sure hope the road will be better for us than home ice as of late. Let’s Go Caps!

It was a great game and worth any price for admission. I am a little disturbed that the Caps would glorify the fans who showed up with rattles, babies, as well as “Crosby Sucks” jerseys by putting them on the jumbotron time after time. There is a lot of passion in this rivalry and fans on both sides will stray over the line now and then. I have never seen the Caps showcase the worst common denominator like they did yesterday. This has been a huge year for the organization and DC can now be discussed as a legitimate hockey town. Rewarding obnoxious fan behavior like that is beneath the organization and does not reflect very positively on the fan base. Focus on the positives — the use of the fan leadership for cheers, the enthusiasm for the game and amusing videos has been great. One of the great things about the Caps has always been that you could take kids to the game and feel comfortable with the environment. I don’t know that yesterday was a very good example of that. When you wrote your ‘Take the High Road’ post this week, I agreed 100%. You have been a classy owner from the outset — don’t reward behavior that reflects poorly on the team and you as an owner. Thanks for listening.

Well spoken….I thought the boys played well…and loved the fact that we had someone in front and crowding Fleury for that second goal. I though the boys did play much better though…

Go Caps…here’s to a solid week!

As for Poti’s shot that hit the iron, they showed the overhead view on “On The Fly” last night on NHL Network, the puck clearly did *not* go in the net, it was off the post and out, never crossed the line completely. It did come out a weird angle, mostly because of how it hit (it hit pretty well on its side).

And kudos to Ron Weber for sticking up to his principles. I’d love to see the shootout gone as well, if a game needs a winner, fine, then play 10 minutes of 4-on-4 sudden death. If that doesn’t get a result, then maybe take the goalies off the ice for an untimed 4-on-4 after the 10 minutes…even then, what’s wrong with a tie in a regular season game?
