Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Most iconic Caps moment for me. I think the Caps were down 3-1 in the series or something like that and forced a game 7. Hextall was a nut all series. Cap Center was rocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 To go along with all this: Basically the Capitals Greatest Hits through last season. It includes Dale Hunter's goal (you know the one) and Juneau's goal to send the '98 Caps to the Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family had seasons tickets for maybe 10 seasons or so in the 80's to early 90s. As a kid, I went to about every home game including the playoffs. Away games, I listened to them on the radio in bed when i was supposed to be sleeping. Would even stay up for the canadian or west coast late games. Played organized ice and on mens floor/rollerblade teams as a young teen. Spent every penny on hockey cards, got a bazillion of them. Stopped following around 1992 when I was turning 16 or so and started partying hard etc. Now, with the Caps run .. Im watching every game. Im glued in. But I feel like a bandwagoner. I didnt stop following the caps bc they werent winning. I stopped bc I became distracted by girls and raves and it became hard to follow all the russian/euro newcomers with unfamiliar names. It feels odd. I want people on the bandwagon. LOAD UP. Better than being a sad, depressed Wizards-only fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgundyMalaise Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 All I know is we better keep the goal siren in some capacity. It's distinctly Caps. Much better than fog horn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Been watching/following this team since the 80-81 season. Listened to games on the radio. Parents didn’t care because they knew I didn’t need a lot of sleep (still don’t) and I was at least in bed resting. They knew I kept the radio on all night weather it was music or sports.

Zazzaro703 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I loved those commercials they did for two years or so and wish they'd bring them back. Had a season of commercials like the one you posted and a season where big plays were played in reverse. Been watching the Redskins and Caps since I was 7 in 1987. Had a break with the Caps when I went to JMU from 99-04 because too much craziness was going on but was back aboard the train when we drafted Ovechkin. Really hope the Caps play the same road game they have played 3 times in a row but at home. Worst thing that can happen is the bull**** early goal against. Please don't let it happen tonight. Crowd is going to be lit having not seen the Caps since game 5 comeback against pens don't take them out of it 2 mins into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 So I don't have any red clothing, hasn't been a color for me since the 80s. BUT.... I went digging in some random boxes and managed to find a red shirt that I bought in London in '84, and with my red Angry Birds pajama pants (reps our Bald Eagles), I'm appropriately outfitted. ? HORN HORN HORN LET'S GO CAPS !!!!!!! And btw, I've been like this every morning since we ****ed up the Pens world.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatBuzz Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Re: bandwagon fans I was a huge Caps fan as a kid, probably more so than a Skins fan. The strikes in the early 90's made me swear off hockey forever. I picked it back up just to see it happen again in the mid-2000's. I have started getting back into in recent years. I'm sure the Caps being good has a part to play in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 As far as bandwagon goes, I'm DC Sports all the way though the Skins are far and away #1. I've watched a decent amount of hockey over the years and can name enough former Caps to seem competent, but I can't admit to being a huge fan, just a fan of DC and the teams that come with it. I'm also probably one of the only people who thought the glowing puck thing Fox did years ago was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bandwagon fan, other than football, I only watch other DC teams when they're in the playoffs. 2. The way this sky looks, I might lose power again like last night.
