Washington Capitals NHL Champions

[btubes18]

Was tired of all the non capitals dedicated threads so decided to start a new one.

What a fantastic victory! I am still in shock, the 26 year DC sports curse has been lifted. Great for the city, great for the team, great for the fans and great for OVI.

Just an awesome awesome team that overcame a lot of trials and tribulations to get where they are.

GO CAPS!!!!

What a great game last night. As much as I rooted for Vegas, I was hoping Ovi got what he deserved and that was to hoist Lord Stanley. He deserved it. This year has been a historical one without a doubt for both of these teams. Now I'm counting down the days until season opener again.

I can't believe I missed this game, someone came into the shop, and said "not watching the hockey game" All the tv's were off, and was just conversing with the regulars, and didn't even think it was THE game, ugh......I saw the news this morning......Very happy for the Caps, and congrats to Vegas going all the way.

I'm just glad it wasn't the Penguins or the Red Wings.

That woulda got a rap in the mush from me. And a quick exit, Mick.

Sometimes the tvs are off, and no one notices, that evening everyone was actually talking to one another and not even looking at their phones, it was the 90's, very odd. However if I knew it was THAT game, I would have been watching like it was 2018.

I was in high school when the Redskins won the SB in 83'. I even got to march in the parade with the school marching band. It was a fantastic experience. The next two SB wins were awesome.
However, I've never seen this town as jacked up as it is right now.
I shed a tear when Ovie lifted Lord Stanley. I know I wasn't the only one.

@icehog3 I believe we had a bet prior to the series! Let's get this all settled.

The 'Red Flu" is happening today. Washington D.C. is basically shut down for the parade.
Wish I could attend cause it may never happen again in my lifetime.

Remind me what I owe you and I will get on this. Laid up with a broken leg I had surgery on a week ago today, but hopefully I can get someone to take me to the PO or take a package for me later in the week. Congrats!

Most excellent. Please PM me your address. I'll keep you in the loop on timing, might take me a bit to get them out, but I always pay my bets and debts, and I'll make the delay worth your while.

Speedy recovery, brother!

Speedy recovery, brother!

Thank you! At least 6-8 weeks of no weight-bearing and no driving, so quick is almost important as full, especially for my mental health.

@btubes18 , still waiting on that addy so that as quick as I can get out of this house, I can get you your spoils.

Barry Trotz out...who do they go after? Todd Reirden?

 

[btubes18]

Sucks that they couldn't come to a deal for Barry - I really liked him, but he's going to want big time money. I'm thinking they gotta pay for Carlson to stay and most likely will need to restructure Ovi's deal this year or next, so money is probably a bit tighter than they would like.

Coach doesn't count against the cap, so I'm not sure that's it. I heard the Caps wanted to exercise the two year extension in his contract for the same money. Barry wants a 5 year deal, and like you said, big money.

Regardless of the Cap, They probably just don't want to pay the man a ton of money. He will get a bunch for sure.

I think they just need to focus on keeping the players and they bring in a good (enough) coach we could see this team back again next year.

They definitely have the talent to make another run next year if they keep their core, and a few of the 3rd and 4th lines who were huge, like Eller and Smith-Pelley.
