Caps Lose To Flyers? Thats Unpossible!

Yes, unpossible as it may seem, the Caps did finally lose a hockey game. Tonight, after coming out like gangbusters for the first 5 minutes and failing to score, they were spent. It wasn't that they played badly, but they didn't play well, if that makes any sense.

If I had known any of the above about 9 hours ago, I would've saved myself the effort, but I didn't. So I attended this afternoon's game. It was fun blah blah blah playoff hockey blah blah great blah blah crappity crap POOOP!

Heres some pictures.



This guy is called "the Goat." You know because he's labeled.


The Caps have been encouraging their fans to "Red Out" the games. In this picture, you can see the audience. Pretty red, eh?

Also of note, the fans were very loud. As a former Washingtonian who grew up going to Caps games at the old Caps Center in Landover, MD, this is as loud as I can ever remember the fans being. There were some Flyers fans there, but compared to a regular season game when Flyers fans would be a good 30-50% of the attendees, this was impressive. I thought.


Me making a face in happier (pre-game) times. OK, thats more than enough time and effort spent on a losing hockey game.
