I will make this brief so I still have time to treat the sucking chest wound that is my soul after game 7 of the first round of the Washington Capitals 2010 playoffs… operative word being “first”.
WHY CAPS!?!?!? WHY!?!?! why do you do this to me every year?
you see this? you know what this is?

This is the face of the boy whose heart you crushed for 2 decades!
Every year its the same. Granted you sucked for a big part in the middle there but we built up! We have Ovie! for the love of god look at the goals this man can make:

and then last year when Varli came out of no where to save the team and force a game seven against the Pens only to choke… and I was at that game!!! My first playoff game seven and we choke. For Christ sake I think I would do better on that ice. OH WAIT… I DID!

(full disclosure it was a dodgeball game between the second and third period, but I did get like 3 guys out)
So in keeping with a new tradition, even though we were the best team in the entire National Hockey League, we decide to lose it in the first round against the Habs…
So get your act together before I give up and switch over to baseball. At least that way I know in advance the Nats will suck.
Now if you’ll excuse me. Baby ‘spo needs to go slay some biddies…
