Area: this matters and it matters a great deal. DSP did a marvelous job in the playoffs and that meant a great deal to me. That makes this championship all the sweeter. Caps probably have the largest and most loyal African-American following in the NHL. This is something they need to continue to try and encourage (and I'm sure they will).

Thanks for posting and sharing this. I can't lie - after every big play DSP made in the Cup run, my phone was blowing up w/ friends and fam excited that a cat that looks like us stepped up big time, in this sport, for our team!

He knows what a big Caps fan I am. I went to his house today and he had made this. I was commenting on how awesome it was and he just gave it to me. It’s going right in the man cave. This is sick. I would pay good money for something like that. If your friend doesn't sell things like this I feel like he probably should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of it is pent up want from boycotting redskins merchandise for the last 10 years. The other part is realizing i have absolutely nothing from any of the 3 skins superbowls I am well past $500 dollars at this point.

They will both need stuff too, and stuff theyll outgrow in 2 years I really, really have my eye on the autographed cup picture, but was able to say no. Ive got to quit checking back on the site because i might have a moment of weakness. BTW, this might be a good time to discuss gear and collectibles. I thought the picture with the piece of a game used puck and net was pretty cool. Also, I like the look of the away sweater better than home. 2 minutes ago, skinfan2k said: I have no idea what a CNC machine. I have no problem paying for things i have 0 expertise in. Well, google is a pretty cool website. I agree, i would rather pay for a finished product than buying my own cnc machine. I was just talking about the mad skills comment on your part. I know a few woodworkers with `mad skills`, they dont use cnc machines Not bagging on it though it is a great design, he could definitely sell them But enough of the hijack, let me check NHL shop to see if any new adds have made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Im reading and watching the Caps celebration. Fountain stuff, cup keg stands, photo after photo of OV taking the Cup where ever he goes. World Cup is in Russia this summer. I have a sinking feeling if OV takes the Cup to Russia, it will never come back a la Bob Kraft's Super Bowl ring. Apologies for being ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovie told him he would pass him the cup first. 2:50 mark. It's the players micced up for game 5. Some other really cool stuff. Trotz to Backstrom "thank you so much I needed this". UrinatingTree is pretty funny, you can get lost for an hour or two watching him crush franchises across all sports. Barry Trotz said there is no practice tomorrow because there is F ing nobody left to beat boys. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
