Sorry I am always SO late with responses...
In reference to my previous rant.....
SO I watched the game HOURS after it was played and didn't post my fan-hater rant until the next day when I started reading the thread..which was entirely more negative than my perception of the game.
Couple things:
1) Don't intend to be implying that EVERYONE (Or anyone, for that matter) is a Caps hater. (or A FAIR WEATHER FAN, as previously stated)
2) I think original intent of my post was that.....reading the game day posts the day after.....I noticed the posts seem entirely more critical than the game I watched. I know we all get down on our team when they do NOT put forth the effort, and maybe WE as Caps fans are more sensitive to that since it SEEMED to be their tendency to do just that....NOT PUT FORTH THE EFFORT for years and years of disappointment - especially playoff wise.
3) I realize that all the original posts are "real-time" and in the heat of the moment, but reading the culmination of them the following day probably makes them seem more harsh that at the time of the play(s).
No offense to any of my board buddies, but I did not think the game or the Caps effort was as bad as one would perceive from the posts on THE Caps Fan board.
Not the most exciting game, but sometimes they just aren't. I really can't see how we can complain with the current OVERALL performance this year.

I like to think of it like when you see a child not living up to their potential, not even really trying. It can be frustrating. The Caps have had a few good stinkers lately and clearly were not putting in the effort at times. After some of these games even Alan May and company spoke much as we did about their effort or lack thereof. Heck, even some players and the coach said as much. I'll have to go back and reread the thread sometime, but I always though the posts were commensurate with what we were watching.

I'm a little surprised nobody mentioned the BJ's "celebration" after the GWG in OT. I mean it was obviously a taunt directed ad Kuzy.
I thought it a bit much for the whole team to be doing it (on OUR ice)
I mean a lot of Cap fans said Eller deserved his beating for "celebrating" his FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON in the FIRST game of the season. I saw nothing wrong with it and did not think he was taunting Boston bench at all.
I mean the BJ's won the game and I have no problem with them showing enthusiasm for the OT win, but they were no doubt mimicking Kuzy. It's not like they have a PENS type record against us in years of playoffs or something.
Thoughts?

they were made fun of, Kuzy said its nice to know someone is watching me and Willy said "I guess it's a rivalry now and I will leave it at that". It was a classless move by a team that has not gotten past the 1st round of the playoffs against the team that sent them packing last season. I expect retaliation of a similar vein in their barn. I'd bet money that CBus doesn't have the balls to do something similar in front of Boston
