Strangely, I feel better now that we're losing. I think we have a better chance like this.

Are ya happy? You got what you wanted.

Didn’t want it. Just knew it was coming.

After 30+ years i know what to expect...

When a zebra breaks a leg isn't it only the decent thing to do to put him down?

Sure, I've been a fan since thew 70's too but it's like you all root for the worst.

True that... Down by one with 10 to go.  In the lean years that's what I hoped for lol.

Nobody is “rooting” for it.  Just expecting it. Big difference. You want to blame us — enjoy yourself.

I don't really.  It breaks my heart.

[OldHat]

I just see it coming.

I don't blame anybody but the boys on the ice. It just strikes me as a strange way to support your team to say, "Here it comes again."
Let's Go Caps!

I just see it coming.

Anyone with a brain does. We KNOW what's coming. It's why I don't ever get hyped for the playoffs anymore. It WILL be a first or second round elimination EVERY year. It's not a mystery.

[ArJunaZ]

I just see it coming.

You and every other Caps fan, even those with a only a few brain cells left between the alcohol molecules.  Heck, even DC sees it coming.

Great minds and long time Caps fans think alike.

I was wrong about Grubauer, but I'm not apologizing to Holtby either.

[ArJunaZ]

 

 

[KitFisto]

Won't be shocked to see Holtby start the 3rd

It just strikes me as a strange way to support your team to say, "Here it comes again."

You may find it strange but you DO realize you are in the vast minority and that virtually everyone else is saying that they are resigned to the fate that befalls this team every season?  So long as you aren't pointing at me and suggesting I'm all alone on a ledge on this.

[OldHat]

In a positive note I'm getting ready to have so e delicious bbq and Mac n cheese...

[KitFisto]

 

 

Won't happen here. In fact I wouldn't be shocked in the next year or two to see him just go back to Russia. The players that have been here long term HAVE to be sick of this. It's an emotionally broken team.

[apace41]

It's an annual rite of passage. At some point along the way, I get so upset and disgusted by this team that I shut off the game and go in the other room and watch something that will make me laugh -- like reruns of Friends -- so that I don't go completely batshit and break up my house.  It's just not worth the angst.  LOL.
