The Washington Capitals Playoff Stretch Run Thread

[skinsfan_nn]

Folks just got home from the game, that three hour cruise felt like 15 minutes......YEA HA! How bout them SOUTHEAST CHAMPS!

We had VIP's to the Dewar 12 club at Verizon GREAT start to a awesome night! There was NO WAY this team was going to loss tonight PERIOD, to much heart and NO quit. This is a very dangerous team taking the #3 seed heading into the playoffs.

I have been to countless Caps games over the years....never made a game during the Cup run against Detroit though. But this was by far the best game I've ever been to, Verizon was electric....you knew from the moment they dropped the puck they where on a mission to win this game no ands, ifs or buts about it and NOBODY was going to ruin that mission.

I'm so proud of this Capitals team......it took me back to last season sitting in the stands at FedEx on the cold and rainy evening December 30 when our Skins had to WIN to get in OR need help. Which wasn't quite the case tonight, the Caps due or die status Win and in or break out the golf clubs....but close enough.

I'm jacked up about this years playoff birth and how hard they had to work to get in and for the future of the team which is very bright, (Don't know about this year...BUT) this team will no doubt finally hoist the Stanley Cup for the nations capital. Hockey is certainly back on the map in DC in a bigger way than ever before.

GO SOUTHEAST CHAMPS, GREAT TEAM EFFORT! I'll try to post some pics tomorrow from the game.
