The same guys who talk Superbowl in August and "wait till next year" in mid-Dec. We're a playoff team and its hard to stay consistent when your playing teams that are 40 points behind us between those who are in playoff contention. We play to the opponent level...not good for catching Boston, but real good for playoff hockey. GO CAPS! Typical DC fans.

Per the logic you've embraced before, that means we won 6 games and lost 7. Sounds to me like a losing month, although the points percentage was above .500 - any chance you owners are ever going to fix that mockery. And not trying to bust your chops, but please don't expect us to believe that this team doesn't have consistency issues. Ted,

(Here-Found it: http://www.tedstake.com/?p=2809 ) It's only up from here... Let's go Caps!

The AO 50 goal celebration was a selfish on his part. the reason i bring this up because hockey is a team sport, it takes a team to win a cup. The way AO acted on the ice when he scored that goal brings in that 'look at me' behavior that consistantly done in NFL,NBA and MLB. Did gretzky act like that when he scored his 92nd goal? NO. He acted liked a true human being and acted like he never scored before. As for the celebrations by your team does after every goal, they look like they just scored game winning goal in the playoffs. I might be minority here but it comes to a point where it happens all the time, it becomes annoying and people begin hate your team for it. BTW, can your team score a goal when they arent on power play? from watching capitals all year long your team can only can win a game on power play and btw your defense is slow.

Hopefully this little problem with the ice at home, especially more towards the end of this season (abnormal bouncing pucks and such), can be fixed over the summer so we can have an even more stellar year next year. We can't really make a more well put together team then what it is now. Just more emphasis on practicing defense and we are golden. GO CAPS!!!

That does appear to be working itself out, and we are all really proud of this terrific team.

All CAPS fans wish our play of late, against non-playoff teams, had been more consistent. But... there are ebbs and flows to the season and this team is too good to stay at a low ebb for long. You rightly pointed out that other top-pevel teams had been victims of the same malaise. Sergei Fedorov also proved again what a positive influence he is by publicly noting all is well and everyone should remain calm. That said, the next six games are important. Home playoff games are key. Keeping the faith in VA Beach. UNLEASH THE FURY! Agree with you Ted!

They have done a great job this year. They have even generate more fans. I think that this team has a serious shot at the cup this year. You tell em Ted. They have done a great job this year.

Though us passionate fans may "bad mouth" our team when we play poorly it is because we are SOOOOOO passionate about the Capitals. Can't wait to ROCK THE RED for the playoffs and thank you for putting such a great product on the ice. Ted — Congratulations on almost selling out the season tickets for next season.
