Hi Rush,
Welcome back!!!
I'm happy to see you on here again.

Hey AJ!! How are ya buddy!
Glad to be back on. Was able to observe the board banter, using the “guest” feature, all through last season, and the run for the CUP!! (Just love typing that little three-letter word, here on the board)!!
Honestly, glad I took a little break, and appreciate you AJ, honoring my wishes at the time. Don’t mind the “Newbie” status again, at all. Hell, I told DC it just makes me eligible for another shot of JD century! LOL.
A lot of great posting last season!! Checking the posts, such wide parameters of opinion, good hockey IQ, or the lack of it, opposing view, humor, anger, anxiety, pessimism, optimism, and everything in between, made for some fun reading! One that stuck out was Kits famous “The sky is falling” posts. A mix of sarcasm, and real anxiety, turning to superstition, where the board almost NEEDED to see his doomsday posts, as a good luck charm! Fuckin funny, Kit!🤣🤣
To me, it was THE WAY, our CAPS did it, that magnified, ten-fold, an already predictable, bubble bursting, victory celebration! No one could have predicted The total AURA OF JOY, nor it’s length of INTENSITY, as nothing seemed to have ever hit the DC area with such force! I’ve been here through the Redskins Super Bowl’s, and they were great in and of themselves. Was present at Dulles, when the Bullets landed, returning from Seattle. (Even got Phil Cheniers autograph that day)!! But, IMHO, short of my GOD, and my family, the Washington Capitals, 2018 Stanley Cup, tops EVERYTHING!!
There’s just something about all those years of hope and expectation, forcefully crammed, year by year, into life’s pressure cooker, add a little annual seasoning of NBC’s negative media coverage and lack of respect, and you’ve got one hell of an EXPLOSIVE DISH being served at Lord Stanley’s table!!!!
🎉🎊🙏🙏🤪🤪🤪!!! JUST CRAZY, BABY!!!!!
Thanks AJ. TTYL
