Welp, like they say “good things must come to an end.” And so it was, the most awesome season in recent years for the Capitals is now over. I was lucky enough to attend game seven, and it was a great experience. One I will not forget for a long time to come…

First off, the house was packed. Our seats were in the VERY, LAST, ROW of the arena. We had the wall to our backs. I thought the view would have been worse, but it was pretty nice for paying $60 to attend a playoff game. Let alone, a game seven! The Caps went up early on a Backstrom goal and the game ended up tied at the end of the first period.

The second was scoreless until about halfway through when the Flyers got a go ahead goal on a fuckin’ bad call gift by the referees. There were some really poor calls against the Capitals tonight! I really wished the game was settled by the players and not the officials. There were more bad calls throughout the period.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOO. REF YOU SUCK! REF YOU SUCK!” we chanted… Read the rest of this entry »

Today is my 800th day without a cigarette. Go me.

Meep meep!!!

WOOOW. I hate to keep posting about the same ol’ shit, but the Capitals FUCKING RULE!!! Tonight they went down early, 2-0. The chances of the Capitals forcing game seven were slipping. But the boys stepped up HUGE tonight and ganked another win from the Flyers, to force what every hockey fan loves.

GAME SEVEN!!!!

Alex Ovechkin is one hell of a hockey player. He really had a clutch third period and scored the last two of the Capitals four un-answered goals. There was hard hitting again in this match and the Capitals just man-handled them in the long run. Huet had another great game and Nick Backstrom had an awesome goal in the second.

I have only been to a few live hockey games in my day, but I am going to game seven of the series and quite possibly the most important playoff game in Capitals history. Wahoo!!

LETS GO CAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. What a great game. I was not able to catch it live, but thank to muh DVR I got to watch it when I got home from my tattoo appointment. Gotta love technology! HEHE.

The Caps looked like a totally different team. They came out hitting. HARD! They crushed Philly for the first two periods of the game and went into the third with a 2-1 lead. Philly was coming hard in the last period. We took a commanding 3-1 lead in the third. The Flyers then got a goal to make the game 3-2 and then the Caps fans started to get wild.

The atmosphere must have been amazing in that arena. There were lots of hits, lots of shots, and lots of amazing saves in the last 5 minutes of the game. The Capitals held on to take the game 3-2. Now, they face game six up in Philly. If they can hold on to win that game, they will come back home for game 7.

We have tickets for what will be game 7. If they force it, I will be there. I am getting goosebumps right now thinking about being there in the “Red Sea” that the fans have created in the playoff push. Here’s hoping that we make it!!!

GO CAPS!!!
