We are now officially “jinxed”.
These posts are so well written and so nice but exactly the wrong things to think at the wrong time. Read them here.
We play Philly, Detroit and San Jose plus the Rangers and the Devils in a ten day period.
We could be 2-5 in 15 days of the first month of the season. We wouldn’t look like a great team. The media will be writing “What is wrong with the Capitals?”
Signing Alex to a long term extension was a great sign of our progress as a franchise and having depth and lots of scoring options is yet another sign of our development. But potential is just potential until you reach your goals.
I don’t compare us to any great Stanley Cup winning team. We haven’t won anything yet. Don’t jinx us. We can’t read this stuff. We have to be honest with ourselves. We have only won a division championship twice as a unit. We have won one playoff series in ten years. We have miles to go before we sleep. We ain’t that good. I am not just saying that to be humble. We haven’t done anything yet. I don’t want us to be set up for a letdown or to think we are better than we are. Thanks for the great writing here but calm down.

Just tell Ovi and others you will personally hand them the keys to their Mercedes SLS AMG upon return to DMV with the Stanly Cup ;-j Might even go ahead and take delivery, keep absolutely top-secret. Store in warehouse. One evening, take them through (may even let them select their car and hold the keys for a moment, can’t open anything or get in and play around with them. May touch the outside of the car. Let them know you will have the keys wherever you decide to keep them,tell them where they are. And maybe if you want it’s not just for this season. There the cars will remain till goal achieved.
Now that I think about it, humbly recommend, buy a second warehouse and stack ‘em three of four deep for yourself investment. Gonna have to be sneaky though cause Mercedes will be watchin’out ;-jeff lee
Was a good game last night in Philly. We almost pulled it out but it was still a good fight and fun to watch.
Its nice to see how down to earth and humble you are, thank you for all your hard work and commitment. The team will only get better with people like you in charge.
Go Caps!
