In about 2 weeks when this thread goes back to you, me, @Springfield, @Popeman38, @ixcuincle, @pjfootballer, @PokerPacker, @c slag and a few others, it’s gonna be kinda cool as we will literally have nothing to complain about this off-season. Cheers to you as well. I’m so happy. I’m pretty sure we’ve all gotten into and it’s what makes this thread awesome over ALL the years

 

I know I, for one, am probably annoying to the hardcore Caps fans and puckheads here who talk about this 24/7. Thanks to all of you for tolerating me coming in here and mucking things up a little. I couldn't stop once I started. It was working.

It's not that at all. It's been cool having everyone in here during this playoff run. There are just about a 10-12 regulars over all these years that have been in here in the middle of December or after every signing, trade, etc. I love that the city has embraced this run.

It’s been a long run for us.  Threads upon threads upon threads.  The ups, the downs.  Frankly, I’m still in shock that I will wake up tomorrow and more NHL hockey won’t be played.  This is the end of the road.

 

And we are on top.

 

Thats the incredible part.  I vaguely remember 92.  It didn’t have an impact on me like this.  This has been years of talking with people who I don’t know... but I know all so well.  For all the people in this thread who have been around.  Thick and thin.  It’s something I can’t quite describe.

 

My only concern now is where I can buy merch at first thing tomorrow morning.

 

I was fully prepared to go to game 6, including airfare, so I have a budget free to use on merchandise. I'm going to buy a ton of stuff over the next few weeks. 

 

It really is so cool. The threads over the years. We earned this as diehard fans.

****!  Can't find the right pic of him to mock it up....

 

Go to NHL.com and under their shop they have a frame they are selling since he made that save. The picture looks pretty good. You might have to purchase the frame first though...lol

Just looked at the box score since I've been enjoying this so much. 

 

11 players with 1 point. No one with 2 points. 11 of the 20 players had a point in this game. That is a team win. It's what they have been doing all year and all playoffs, but WOW. In the game to win the Cup you see it in the box score.

Ok, yeah I'm quoting myself, but I can't geek out enough over this. The Caps got goals from all 4 lines. Yes, one was a power play, but the goals were from a member of all 4 lines.

 

Ovehckin - Top Line

Vrana - Line 2

Eller - Line 3

Smith-Pelly - Line 4

 

Yeah, they gave up 3 goals, albeit a deflection off a Caps skate, what could have been interference, and then a scramble PP goal with a wide open net, but offensively this is about as perfect as it gets.

I don’t post here much, but just wanted to let y’all know that I, my brother, father, and mother were 4 of the ~9,000 that saw the very first Caps game. I never thought I’d live to see this day. I’m crazy ecstatic, happy, drunk, ( add your own adjective). Happy I got to watch it with a friend here, in Charlotte NC, who grew up about 8 blocks from me in Arlington, and with you guys and gals. Love y’all!

I mean there were alot of people literally pushing people like they had to go somewhere.  It was insane.  The police did a terrible job by blocking the streets after teh game.
