@alexiofilms I was born and raised in D.C. and have rooted for the Caps since the day I was born. I watched every single game even when the team was awful. Don't fucking call me a bandwagoner.
@alexiofilms Really? Dang I guess I should stop follwing the team I've loved my whole life. You're so smart I wish I was you. I bet you're super cool too.
@alexiofilms yea, false some us like washingtoncapitalsplayer actually do like the caps and grew with them. I've also been a caps fan my whole life, been with them through thick and thin. I'm proud to say I was still a fan when they sucked ass in the late 90's early 2000's

I'm proud to say I was still a fan when they sucked ass in the late 90's early 2000's. Dont be so quick to judge people
theyre all of ovechkin no of the team if the capitals didnt have ovechkin theyd be trash lmao, they havent even made it ppast the 2nd round, in 1:22 malkin wasnt ready but ovechkin went flying like a fagot, ont he ppl that are taller than you.. thats what happens
I like the video but im not sure why they would show the ovi hit on malkin where malkin shifted and ovi clearly ate the boards hard and malkin just skated away. clearly an ovi fail.
im a GIANT ranger fan but all around i'm a hockey fan i respect the caps and how they dominated the season but when i went to a caps game at the Verizon center it pissed me off how that bastard blew that horn every 5 minutes Christ all mighty you can even hear him through the TV is it necessary
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the capitals suck even with all that fire powere from ovechkin. sorry but you guys suck so bad you had to go to a game 7 with the rangers that is just so sad
no way man, come on, yeah those guys get the most points but hockey is a full team sport. varlamov, steckel, fleischmann, poti, morrisson, alzner, sloan, all great players

ha rock the red....thats pathetic. stolen right from the books of philadelphia (the orange crush) DC trying to immitate the flyers shit. Come to Philly so we can rock the red right off the caps AGAIN!
All I hear is a caps fan bitching and moaning about old calls. Flyers won dude, let it go. Also your a moron Capsfan88, the Orange Crush started like 5 years ago when the Flyers went to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Lightning. There was a huge article about it in Sports Illustrated about how impressive it was ( I have the issue so dont try and tell me otherwise) rock the red is some copycat bullshit to get some more "new" caps fans, just like most of you are.
Because the Flyers have the money to do that for the fans because we are good every year (minus 06-07 season) and its an organization that cares about its fans because we've always been loyal to our team. Unlike the Caps fans. I don;t care what you say, Ive been watching hockey since the early 90's and the attendance in washington was piss poor most of those years. All the sudden you get Ovechkin and Washington is a "hockey town". haha Please. Thats a joke
And I watched the video because Im an avid hockey fan, I watch video's on any team in the NHL. Bottom line to what Im saying is that it wouldnt matter what hockey annalist you'd ask, or what magazine, or what hockey buff (that wasnt a caps or flyers fan ) the answer would be the same when asked "which city is a greater hockey town?" 95% would answer Philly. As much as you want to debate that, you know Im right. Its not even worth debating.
ha dude you went back to the 80's to bring up dirt.Thats sad. I know the Caps were good in the 80's, but so were the flyers. Most of the 90's and new millenium the caps were garbage, though. Thats when the attendance at the MCI center and the US air arena were awful. And as for young players we have Richards, Carter, Giroux, Lupul, Parent, Powe, Coburn, plus more. All are amazing and under 25 years of age.
It doesn't matter how consistent you are if you don't win the Cup.
The Caps have been to the finals more recently then the Flyers.
Also, the Caps were pretty damn consistent from 1982 to 1997 they made the playoffs every year. That's 15 years in a row they made the playoffs. Sounds consistent to me.
Dude, I already stated that the caps were good in the 80's up to the mid 90's. Im not an idiot hockey fan, Im just callin it like I see it. They were good then, but of more recently they've been shitty, with generally shitty attendance, until your boy ovie came along....
We were good for most of our years, and then got Jagr and were good for 2 years with him, but then he destroyed our team, and we had to rebuild.
Every team goes through a rebuild. Pittsburgh went through one, Chicago, St. Louis, L.A. is in a rebuild now. Attendance isn't going to be great when your team is full of rookies who are learning the game at the NHL level.
dude its no question that the hockey up north is bigger than down towards the south where the caps are. and the fans up north are great fans. and your right when you say that the caps had shit crowds until OV came along, but any team would have shit crowds if the team was dead last year after year, its common sense no one is gonna pay that much to watch a shit team. but hockey is back in DC and now its pretty hard to find a tickets to any caps game. whihc is good thing for the NHL.
its hard being a caps fan and not being called a "bandwagon fan" im used to it now. even though i was born into a Caps family, people can say what they want i know the truth. lol i think that in the next few years it will even out and the Caps fan base will just be big along with detroit pitt philly buffalo and all those other huge fan bases. im glad to see that hockey has finally returned to DC, god knows it took a while, no more 8,000 crowds now its 18,000+ every time.
Caps are stilla great team and VERY young. i strongly believe that in the near future 4-5 years that the Caps will win the cup, if they dont this year, VARLY is a beast and the Caps D has really been playing well this post season. and the Caps have a bunch of fire power.
alright w\e man if you think the Caps and pens are not good teams and "weak" then your not worth talking to. the west is the best?? how about them sharks and flames...yeah the west is sweeeeeet. the team wiht the best record goes down to a team that just barely made the playoffs.
how many times have the craps been to the finals? Get back to me on that.
So SJ went down to the red-hot DUCKS, who won the cup two years ago. Anaheim as an 8th seed is better then the bottom 4 seeds in the east. Do you watch NHL hockey or prefer to just talk out of your anus?
so your baseing how good the east off of how many times the Caps [you spelled it wrong] have been to the cup final??? god your not worth talking to. ....o and how 'bout them wild ;) there pretty damn sweet.
and yeah im sorry but a team like SJ should of easily beat the Ducks.
your just pissed because the caps are very good and have done well in this years playoffs.and that they have an amazingly talented roster and the best goalie.
"and yeah im sorry but a team like SJ should of easily beat the Ducks. "
False, Ducks were playing better then SJ at the end of the year. Any logical NHL fan knows this.
"your just pissed because the caps are very good and have done well in this years playoffs.and that they have an amazingly talented roster and the best goalie. "
False. Best goalies are Jonas Hiller and Tim Thomas, as well as the Wild's Nikalis Backstrom!
dude your just pissed because your team aint in the playoffs because they aint good enough to be. so now you go around bashing on the teams that are better....lol god your sad. grow up.
Grow up? Your team sucks, get over it. My team has made 3 playoff runs in their 9 year existance, much better percentage then the freakin' craps, haha 35 years and ZERO cups, now that's SAD.
well i mean its sayin somethin, they were down 3-1 and came back to win the series. 92% of the time the team leading 3-1 wins the series. being part of that 8% means that your obviously a good team. you dont have to like the Caps or there players, but you cant honestly say that they arent a good team, because that just makes no sense.
and the thing with OV is that he is the one that has put hockey back on the map in the US. he is the face of the NHL and he has helped the NHL a lot. but if you wanna talk about the more consistant team between the flyers and caps well its a toss up, both teams can have their nights where they are sweet. ill give scoring to the Caps but the flyers are better at D and when it comes to goaltending its a toss up both starters can have their nights and both back ups are good.
the Caps are a great team as are the flyers ....and boston and NJ and San Jose and Detroit...just because you dont like a team doesnt change the fact that they are good.
obviously being born into a Caps family i favor the Caps above all teams, but i dont ever deny the talent of others......[crosby is overrated]..hes the only one i tend to pick on, im sure you dont object to my statement.
best of lukc in the playoffs, i hope to meet yall again.
Wahoo, I respect what you have to say. Sometimes. I try to take the same angle as you, except Im a Flyers fan. I just get extreely annoyed because I know sooo many people around my area (I live right outside Philly) that all the sudden like the Caps? Some of them didnt even like hockey before. So I think I have a dislike towards them because if anything Im annoyed by this bandwaggon trend the caps are geting around my town.
hahaha yeah i can understand that. its the same where i live except a lot bigger [i live in VA about 1 hr from DC] ill go to the richmond minor league games and all you will see is Caps shirts and jersey's when 2 yeasr ago you might find like 3 or 4...there are a lot of bandwagon fans for DC, but i hope that they will continue to follow the team and learn about the caps and stay fans, the more the better. i havent seen the verizon center this packed in years.
yup, i live 10 mins outside of DC and all my friends jump on the bandwagon once we hit the playoffs and they all think they are really caps savvy yet they just started paying attention. I hate bandwagoners in general but especially for my teams like the caps.
yeah i mean i dont like bandwagon fans either but if they dont say stupid shit and fill the verizon center and make noise at the right times then they are alright in my book.lol but pretty much every team that has a great year and some stars on their team will 9 out 10 times have a huge add on of fans the next season. like the Caps did.
It's good for the NHL and Washington Capitals. As long as they keep rooting for the Caps and keep paying attention to hockey then I have no problem with it. Everybody has to start being a fan at some point.
very ture, but when they act like they are life time fans and start running their mouth and spiting out stuff that doesnt make sense....thats when i walk away and say i dont know them. lol but na im alwasy helpful ill help my friends...so far i have been able to convert 10 people into caps fans, the best is by far my GF, she now knwos all the players, its brings a tear to my eye.. lol cant wait for playoffs atleast a confrence final showing this year i think\hope.
maybe lol first they need to win they just got shut out by the rangers... i think theyre good in the regular season but so much changes in the playoffs, and the caps need to play better in the playoffs... plz tell me what your coach is thinking putting a rookie goalie whoses only played like 5 games in the nhl and now you start him in the post season... another corey price about to happen (last year in the post season) good luck but i think this post season NY is the better team at the moment
yeah i agree we they need to play a lot better and get some lucky goals, but the rookie goalie situation, it the best choice to put Varlamov as the starter. idc if he is a rookie or not he is the best goalie they have on the team and is prob one of the best rookie goalies in the NHL. he will soon be a big name in the NHL in about 3 years hes a beast of a player and has had a lot of expierence in the playoffs in the super leagues and Jr. world champ. for russia
Go watch Dale Hunter's game 7 Overtime goal against Philly in the 1988 playoffs and tell me that we didn't have fans then.
The attendance went down during the 05-06 and 06-07 years because the team was rebuilding. Don't be jealous of all the young players we have on our team.

Couple of questions and comments
The Flyers handed out orange shirts last in the playoffs for there home games. Are the fans to poor to buy there own shirts and jerseys?
How can you say I'm a new fan when I've watched them for the 35+ years they have existed?
If you hate the Caps then why are you watching video's about them?
washingtoncapsplayer 2 years ago
Because the Flyers have the money to do that for the fans because we are good every year (minus 06-07 season) and its an organization that cares about its fans because we've always been loyal to our team.

yup, i live 10 mins outside of DC and all my friends jump on the bandwagon once we hit the playoffs and they all think they are really caps savvy yet they just started paying attention. I hate bandwagoners in general but especially for my teams like the caps.

yeah i mean i dont like bandwagon fans either but if they dont say stupid shit and fill the verizon center and make noise at the right times then they are alright in my book.lol but pretty much every team that has a great year and some stars on their team will 9 out 10 times have a huge add on of fans the next season. like the Caps did.

It's good for the NHL and Washington Capitals. As long as they keep rooting for the Caps and keep paying attention to hockey then I have no problem with it. Everybody has to start being a fan at some point.

maybe lol first they need to win they just got shut out by the rangers... i think theyre good in the regular season but so much changes in the playoffs, and the caps need to play better in the playoffs... plz tell me what your coach is thinking putting a rookie goalie whoses only played like 5 games in the nhl and now you start him in the post season... another corey price about to happen (last year in the post season) good luck but i think this post season NY is the better team at the moment

yeah i agree we they need to play a lot better and get some lucky goals, but the rookie goalie situation, it the best choice to put Varlamov as the starter. idc if he is a rookie or not he is the best goalie they have on the team and is prob one of the best rookie goalies in the NHL. he will soon be a big name in the NHL in about 3 years hes a beast of a player and has had a lot of expierence in the playoffs in the super leagues and Jr. world champ. for russia

Go watch Dale Hunter's game 7 Overtime goal against Philly in the 1988 playoffs and tell me that we didn't have fans then.
The attendance went down during the 05-06 and 06-07 years because the team was rebuilding. Don't be jealous of all the young players we have on our team.
