The best way for the #Capitals to express their justified outrage over the ridiculous @tom_wilso 3 game suspension is to prepare to welcome him back for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals

This is a great example of how it sometimes takes years , and the right mix of people , to finally build a championship team.
Every team has talent.
These guys have class and character to go along with it.
This is pretty awesome. Taylor Chorney, who was with the Washington Capitals until late last season, went to visit his old teammates... and they had quite the surprise for him. VIDEO >>>

Hmmm. Thought they first beat 3 good to excellent Eastern Conference teams and then disposed of a squad none of the 15 other Western Conference teams could stop. Pretty sure 9 months and 16 playoff wins makes the term “ expansion team “ irrelevant. On both sides.

Over an hour from puck drop but the #capitals fans are ready to go ! F St is already a sea of red and chants of “ Let’s Go Caps “. This doesn’t happen in a “minor league town “. Way to bring it DC !!

Wayne’s response to @ovi8 getting to 700 and possibly eclipsing his own goal scoring record , is the very definition of class.

When @BDillon04 was traded to @Capitals , I reached out to @JRandalWard42 about what kind of guy the team was getting.

I remember talking to Craig Berube after @StLouisBlues whacked #ALLCAPS 5-2 here on Jan. 3. Though they were last in the #NHL , he insisted they were a much better team than the record indicated.

Meaning truly no offense to Doc Emerick ,@JoeBpXp or @WaltonCaps , but since Kuzy’s OT GWG reminds me so much of the Dale Hunter vs. Philly goal , I’d love Mike Fornes’ voice calling “ Ovechkin finds Kuznetsov..he’s in alone..a shot..AND A GOAL !!! “
