What the hell happened last night? The Caps just didn’t show up. The Caps that did show up last night are the Caps I know and love – inconsistent.
I never expressed confidence that they were going to go all of the way – not that I didn’t believe or hoped, I just knew – Caps haven’t been consistent. I knew it was going to be game-by-game, period-by-period, shift-by-shift.
Last year, we got to the first round. This year, the second round. Slowly, we are climbing back up. Which is fine. Caps are building from the inside – the goal that Ted wanted. We’ve got the talent deep in the system. Now to keep them.
I hope the hockey momentum stays in Washington. So many years, we would go to games and half the Verizon Center would be empty. Now, Verizon is full. It’s crazy! Do all of these people watch or come to the games when the Caps when they are losing? Nope. (Know where I’m going with this??) I’ll save my hubby some despair and not going there….
So, now what – I won’t be jumping on any bandwagon for the next round or for the Cup. I’m loyal to my Caps. I DO root for any former Caps players who do go on. Luckily, I still a few players to root for (Huet (who I think is on the bench), Gonchar (WOOT!), and Cooke)!
As Extreme sings "There's a hole in my heart that can only be filled by you....." I will continue to be "Rockin' the Red" and be "Caps Beyond Intense".
