How the F does Lucic not get a penalty there? You have to be F'ing kidding me. I"m fine with CHara getting away with the X-check, but Lucic has to get the gate there

The Caps were down 2-0 and the fans were still interested, yelling, making noise, etc...like I said, it seems like it has been like this all year. I am just wondering why..

 

I don't think the Caps fans have much skepticism about their team's abilities. We're also playing in a mode comparable to the Devils' style of play...which doesn't lend itself to a raucous crowd.

1. MSG's mics are part of the problem.

 

2. Seriously, DC as the example? I don't know, search my posts, but about a hundred times, I think, I've established that they are bandwagoners. Lived there for seven years; there are no real hockey fans in the District, and not that many Caps fans in MD, either. The year the Craps went to the finals, I could not give away PLAYOFF tickets. I've told that story a few times, too.

 

 

ELeven - i recall seeing you post in the past about DC, so maybe DC is a bad example, but I guess I was just so impressed with their fans and the game this past Sunday. Don't you officiate down there also?

I definitely have posted about DC and its "fans," but the guy who used to officiate down there is BuffalOhio, I think. I also think his name used to be "DCSabres" or something like that.

 

I've never officiated a game, except in my own mind, of course. I would have done better than Wally Harris.

 

I lived in Washington from 1997 through 2004, and despite a new arena, several star players (Bondra, Kolzig, Jagr) and a Finals appearance, the team was always right behind DC United (not kidding!) in the city's consciousness. I can't consider the latecomers to be real Caps fans; I just can't.

That would be me, I think. I just moved away from DC last April. I gotta tell ya, the hockey fans down there aren't so much bandwagoners anymore; not since Ovechkin came along. He's really changed things down there.

 

And yes, I used to officiate down there for 8 years. I do it in Cleveland now, and the hockey here sucks in comparison.

 

My old 'Home Rink' just collapsed from the snow. Prince William Ice Center. Very sad news.

Why the #%^$#! can't I ever insert an actual image?

Yeah...really, they're Ovechkin fans. If Ovechkin ever left (for whatever reason), watch the attendance drop by 50% in one year.

That's what a bandwagoner is.

End of the 2nd. Now I'm off to officiate some pretty good mens' league hockey in Strongsville. I'll watch the 3rd when I get home after midnight.

 

Night all!

 

Lets Go, Buff-A-Lo!

Looks like I Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

 

Good for Danny Paille - I'm happy for him.

 

I know that the fans don't have much to cheer for lately and in this game, but they are still in first place yet the Arena sounds like a morgue lately. I mean, the atmosphere for a Caps game (like this past SUnday) blows away anything I hear from the Arena this year.

 

Is it just b/c it is tee-vee? I haven' been back home for a gamee in over three years..

 

Hey, long time no post.

 

PA tips his fedora in mrjsbu's direction.
