Well good Lord, you must be older than me. I’ve been a Caps fan from day one, but have lived here nearly all my life. Definitely not a hockey town back in the day, but we rocking the red now
Funny, my two favorite Caps were Hunter and Bondra (prior to Ovie era)
Sorry to hear you were not a Hunter fan. He definitely played with an edge. I’m sure ally of opponents didn’t care for him.
I wasnt a big Bondrafan either. I didnt dislike him either. My favorites in the past were Gartner, Gustafson, Ridley, Stevens, Tinordi,Kolzig, Maruk Iafrate and Johansson. There are a few others as well.
Present team I like Backstrom and Holtby. And I also like Stephenson. Didnt care for Ovie earlier but he is growing on me. Same with Kuzy. And everyone here that thinks Im a Carlson fan I'll be honest. I didnt mind him when he first got here. I thought he was going to be pretty good. I actually started disliking him for the same reasons people here dislike him. Because of the brainfarts. I thought he started making strides in his game offensively a couple years ago. I only started defending because of all the flack he was getting here. And he had his best regular cession and a great playoff. And actually I'm starting to like him.
I actually bought a signed Carlson jersey last year. Funny thing was the guy was selling a signed Kolzig and a signed Carlson jersey. I wanted the Kolzig jersey but he didnt want to sell them separately. He pretty much gave away the Carlson jersey.
