Washington Capitals 2011-2012 Ongoing Thread

It's times like right now that I sort of hate being a DC sports fan. I've become such a pessimist that I feel like the Caps already lost - I really hope they prove me wrong tonight.

I'm worried myself. The Caps are notorious for choking in the early rounds. I watched them lose the last game in OT and it was like all the spirit went out of me.

Its rough being a fan of a DC team.

THANK YOU JOEL MOTHA F'IN WARD FOR SHUTTING ME UP!!! I love it!!!

Congrats caps fans! Hopeful you can knock off the flyers. I will definitely be cheering caps here on out.

Such a great win. So good to see that Tim Thomas won't be..well, visiting the White House next year.

I mean..... I was soooo nervous throughout the game. We were all just screaming at Hamrlick, Shultz, Green, etc the entire game. Then.... as joel ward placed that puck in the back of the net-

Total euphoria. Everyone jumped around, screamed at the top of our lungs, and really felt playoff victory in it's truest sweetest form. Great win.

Love the team- Sky is the limit.

O's, Nats, Wiz, RG3, and caps. Things are looking pretty good.

holtby is amazing and is the main reason we made it through. that was the closest series in nhl history with 4 games going to ot, 1 game going to double ot, and all games being decided by 1 goal. what a hell of a series and a hell of an effort, while holtby is the obvious player of the series, i think jay beagle is a damn close runner up. that guy came hard every game and was a huge factor on the boards digging pucks out. i hope they raise their game even more and take out whoever the next opponent might end up being. LET'S GO CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't stand Boston teams and fans of any sport. Great to see them go down!

Zang!
