Ted-

I want to thank you for all you have done for Hockey in DC and for your vision and leadership to bring us this far. That said i think you should refund all of us who paid to see Game 7 Last night….the most humiliating Game 7 defeat in Stanley Cup history in a later Round.

Also - those guys in the front office need to tighten up their game Defensemen like Boumeester and Morris were available at the deadline this year and could have really helped. We are the Colts of the NHL- we need to learn, as they did (I guess through some miserably hard lessons in the post season as they did) that while its Sid vs. Ovie for the networks, its Orpik and LeTang vs. Morrison and Pothier that really matters.

We have faith in you! But the sting of this one will carry over until this team reaches a Cup Final, just as last year’s carried over until we got past the First Round.

Best Wishes,

Ernest- Season Ticket Holder.

Ted: Gotta’ talk to Gary Bettman about the officiating in this series; tongight, I find it hard to believe that sixty minutes went by and not a single penalty was committed by the Pegnuins? Clearly the refs did their part to get the Penguins in the Conference finals - how badly does Gary Bettman want Sidney in the Cup Finals again? I think the Caps got screwed; all the calls go the Penguins way all the time. Like you said, “when was the last time the Caps had a power play in overtime?”

I was there when…the Pens smoked the caps, again, in the playoffs, after coming from behind.

But you won’t have the stones to post this will you?

Ted: First thing you gotta’ do in the offseason is upgrade this defense; they showed tonight how feeble they really are and were exposed for a bunch of goals. Most fans were incredulous this year with this shoddy group of defensemen. What a horrible performance tonight; truly disapointing. We can’t want it more than the players and I guess they didn’t want it at all. This is nothing to build off of; this was embarassing.

Good luck tonight Ted, no matter the outcome you have built a franchise that will be envied by not only your rivals but teams and fans from any league and any sport.

I wonder if CSN would do Hershey home games next year on nights when the Caps are not playing? They would have to get more viewers than poker tournaments or bull riding or whatever else they show.

Congrats Bears !!! In just a couple of hours the Caps will do the same and win their 7th game. Go Caps Go !!!
This has been a great season let’s hope it’ll last a little longer. The team has been playing exceptionally well all season long. I’ve been enjoying every single moment that I watched.
You’re right Ted, this one is for the ages. It’ll be remembered for a long time. Finally all the years of hard work and dedication are showing dividends. Go Caps !!!
