Go Caps! (Official Caps Playoff Bandwagon Thread 2015)

[BobRouse]

Well...theres lots of misery being a Caps fan. I guess we could use some company.

Interesting about Kings fans. Pretty much the last teams fans I could think of but I guess they had a long string of misery themselves prior to the last few years.

I do remember watching Kings games pre-Gretzky on ESPN and WWOR. I believe it was Robitaille's rookie year when they had him and Carson racking up goals and Bernie Nichols was there.

All their games would be 8-5 or some insane high scoring game and they had a couple pretty quesionable goalies. I believe it was former Caps Al Jensen (Galley trade?) and Rollie the Goalie.

I was disappointed when they went to the hip Silver and Black or the Raiders as opposed to keeping the Purple and Gold of the Lakers. I like their throwbacks but I prefer the gold jerseys with the gold helmets.

Caps fans are like Kings fans pre 2012.

All are welcome. These Is The Times, how do you like my playoff avatar??

Kinda scary

I love the avatar. I've converted my wife into a big Timmy fan. It's been a while, but I seem to remember Gleason being pretty good for us in our last playoff run. Scored his first and only goal of the season in OT in the Devils series I believe. Hopefully he can pull off some magic like that again.

The blog post about Caps fans at the Islanders game has been deleted before and mod notes have been posted in other threads. Do not repost the link on this forum.

The same warning applies to this entire forum that was posted in the last game day thread which was any outside fan popping in for anything more than "good luck" is probably going to be booted. Go to the neutral playoff forums for anything other than that.

So, has the bandwagon emptied ?

You hear that?

Crickets...

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Tried telling everyone rooting for this team was an exercise in futility. Only took them three games to smarten up and jump ship. Stick tap to them.

 

[Jeff18]

What a game 7. Good luck against the Rangers.

 

[Rorschach]

Wooo wooo wooo!

Right now the boards are all talking about why St. Louis can't get the job done even though they have Tarasenko. Basically they need a Kuznetzov too.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Thanks guys.

We need Tarasenko too, I agree.

He could sign some bridge-to-UFA contract with them then move here to play with his friends

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Just get rid of the Rangers and I'll stay on the bandwagon for the duration of the playoffs.

 

[Sascha Goc]

Devils fans all in on the Caps bandwagon, beat the Rangers! Also the 40 yr old virgin playoff avis are hysterical!

The old purple and gold gets my vote. But then I was partial to the really gaudy huge gold V jerseys the Canucks came out with that one year. I don't remember how long they had it--maybe more than one year--it wasn't long.

 

[Maruk moustache]

Ah I found it here. I guess they had it for like seven years. I remember the first time I saw it live, probably the first year they had that one, and everyone around me at the Capital Center was just laughing about the huge V. I can't explain why now--at the time it just seemed like the worst ever.

I like old jerseys and the worse the better. Purple jerseys with a fruity crown on the front--those were awesome.

 

[Rorschach]

They give you nothing for winning three. LETS GO!

I actually have a replica of that Canucks jersey stashed somewhere in my mom's garage.

Everyone hates yellow/gold jerseys. I'm strange. I like them especially if they have the matching helmets.

RE: Bandwagon

I see alot of Devs/Isles/Pens fans rooting for us. Not so much a bandwagon but more that they hate the Rangers that much.

Most others say "something something I want to see Ovie win a cup"

 

[gopreds19]

I'm on board. Still a big fan of Coach Trotz. How he hasn't won a Jack Adams is beyond me with the number of wins he's accumulated with overmatched teams in Nashville. How the hell was he not nominated this year!

Oh well, looks like he's going for more important hardware this year. Go caps.

 

[beach]

Islanders' fan here. I hated you guys last week. Now, I'm a huge fan. Beat the Rangers and you'll be my 2nd favorite team for next season!!!!

Go Caps!!

Thank you all for your support.

He's practicing with the team again. That's as much as we know. He's had a lot of shoulder issues over his career, so it's yet to be seen if he'll even be effective when he comes back.
