Sport needs more exposure (in a good way,) this is a start. Think about some of the reasons why no one outside of those who follow the league have any clue that a generational talent (McDavid) plays in Edmonton. I'm glad to see the storm surge, marchand doing the billionaire walk after a goal, Tkachuk flossing, etc. These guys have GREAT personalities, but for whatever the reason, hockey has traditionally shunned individualism. Shoot, even our own guy, Ovechkin, is cut from that same cloth. Hope things like this keep going. At first I thought it was cool and different but after every win it felt a bit too much for me, but then I suppose when are they supposed to do it.

If someone says they are a hockey fan, there is a good chance they can have a discussion on it. Unlike half the football fans that claim a team but can't tell you the coaches name. And this right here is the problem. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to grow the game? It's a niche sport because the league has shot itself in the foot numerous times. And honestly, who cares if there are bandwagon fans? How does that hurt you as a die-hard and stop the good hockey conversations you'll have with someone? Connor McDavid can walk down the street in any large US city and probably go unnoticed. That's an issue. Hopefully this newer generation of stars who are more in-tuned to social media, embracing their own personalities, etc. can help bring in more fans to a great sport that needs more exposure. 10 minutes ago, max21 said: At first I thought it was cool and different but after every win it felt a bit too much for me, but then I suppose when are they supposed to do it.

Hersh Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Big win. Caps taking care of the games they should win against non-playoff teams. Might be able to clinch the playoffs next game depending on Columbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I do enjoy winning on Sunday afternoons with the NBC crew calling the game. Listening to them praise the losing team for the dumbest little things "That was a beautiful pass by Philly as they.....Vrana with the score and it's 3-1 Washington" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time he bailed out the team. His regular season play for the past 2 years has been average at best. Glad there's a stud in the pipeline down at Hershey.

Average at best. I hope he can catch fire again during the playoffs this year. His contract expires after next season, so there's something to keep an eye on.

Could be a great opportunity to trade him after the season for a good haul to keep more talent in the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna laugh, but in all fairness he's probably no less a fan than half of the bandwagon jumpers who flooded to F street last June. Anyways, nice to see the team get recognized at the White House. The team visited in the 80s and met Reagan, but obviously not as champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess that's even worse than McD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
