What will You be Watching this Saturday?

[Caps Circle]

This Saturday, two big DC-sports games are being played. The Caps play Montreal in the second-meeting between the two EC division leaders, and the Redskins play the Eagles with the chance to clinch the division and a playoff berth.

What will YOU be watching mostly? I'm expecting most of you will be switching back and forth, but where will your focus be?

Neither, I will be on the beach on the remote island of Cuba trying to charm girls of my age
If I was still in Canada, I'd be watching the Caps game because I don't care about football or the Skins.

From what I heard, the Skins tend to choke in important games just like the Caps, must be a DC specialty...

DC sports teams in general suck. Probably only outsucked by Buffalo and Cleveland.

Well the Caps start at 7pm and the Skins don't start until 8:25pm. So all Caps for 2 periods then probably mostly Skins, depending on what's happening in the Caps game. Will be flipping back and forth in the 3rd.

Caps!

Going to my first game of the year..... Section 417

If I were home, I would be watching the Skins on the big screen with so few games per year. And so few games per decade, with palyoff imps.

yeah.. flip back and forth depending on what's happening, won't be an issue.

should be a "both" option

 

[Jedgi]

Both.

 

[Caps Circle]

I'm sure most of you will be watching both, as I stated in the OP. The questions is what you will be focusing most of your energy on, what you'll be excited all day for, what you'll gather all of your family members around the TV for, etc.

Skins have been banished to DVR land for years for me. Closest I'll come is DVR delay watching is generally 2 hours in.

When I saw this thread title my first thought WJHC games, heh. Debating getting up early.

cuban vacation is nice...

I'll be in the cold here, watching the highlights of the caps game...

.. got shabbos on that day too but it ends at abouts 5:30 pm... plenty of time to finish my novel.

... and it's also leg and arm day for me in the gym.

 

[Carlzner]

Don't care about the Skins.

Might go to the Caps game.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Definitely both.

 

[tycoonheart]

Skins. Too big a game.

 

[Corby78]

Honestly still not excited about the skins. Winning the division because everyone sucks isn't exactly something I'm proud of. But whatever.

 

[Microsens]

Hi guys,

Is DSLR allowed inside Verizon Center?

 

[Turd Ferguson]

I'll be binge watching the World Juniors until the Caps game comes on. The chair will have a perfect form of my ***

Skins. The Caps are going to murder the hapless Habs sans Price. I'm calling a 4 goal margin of victory. It'll be a snoozefest (but I'll be flipping it on during the commericals).

The Skins have a chance to clinch the division and make the play-offs for only the 4th time since 2000. DeSean Jackson back in Philly. A chance to wipe the smirk off of Chip Kelly's fat face. Can't wait.

As a DC sports fan, how do you have nearly this much confidence about either of these games?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Both. Man cave FTW. Focus will be on Caps early then all Skins until I'm crying tears of joy or tears of agony.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Sadly neither. I'll be on the road that day, coming back from the annual Christmas trip.

Hey the Bullets have a game at 4pm on saturday I demand they be added to the poll .

what the heck are the skins?

Just a feeling. I'm normally one of the most pessimistic (i.e. realistic) sports fans out there, but for once, we're not the ones in turmoil. The Eagles are doing all of the talking -- saying the Redskins have "something coming to them," guaranteeing a victory, DeMarco Murray pouting about his carries -- and the Redskins are just going to work. All business. The Habs can't score and now the coach is blaming his goaltenders.

Knowing the history of DC sports, the Redskins will lose in crushing fashion, probably to a blown call or a turnover, and the Caps will come out sluggish and lose 3-2 while outshooting the Habs by a 2:1 margin but I'm going to enjoy this feeling while I have it.

The Washington Redskins. DC's storied NFL franchise that was once a juggernaut and the price of this area. They've been... well, we'll call it "not good" for the past two decades.
