Pre-Game Talk: Game 1/Banner Raising Meetup - BAR LOUIE 5:30 to Gametime

[Calicaps]

Ok peeps, let’s start planning for the hfcaps Stanley Cup banner raising toast party.

First important question is do we want t-shirts or hats or something else to identify us.

Vote above and if you choose other, explain in a post.

[hockeykicker]

it has to be something turtle related

 

[chilimac]

Turtle theme could work. Maybe a turtle... with a Cup.

it has to be something turtle related

-Buy those blank nametag stickers from an office supply store, everyone comes as "Shirley"

-Delta House pledge pins

-Just go around shaking hands, asking "are you a friend of Lloyd?"

 

[Calicaps]

OK... "Are you a friend of Lloyd?" and the pic. That's it. That's the shirt.

Would love it if the game were against Pittsburgh

I am already hearing from casual acquaintances who have taken extra Caps tickets off my hands in the past few years who want to see the banner raised. I also expect that the %age of Caps tickets in the hands of STHs is going to be the highest ever next season ... meaning it's likely that only a few will be available on the secondary market. I'm guessing that tickets to that game will be *almost* as pricey as those to the finals. So be prepared. If you're not a STH, the cost of the name tag/t-shirt will be miniscule in comparison to that of a ticket. Not trying to diss the idea of a meet-up, just add a dose of realism.

Yup. Will need to figure ours out at the presale.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

I'm definitely game to make the drive, would be an epic night.

 

[Calicaps]

I'm the least visually artistic person on the planet. But here's what I did on custom ink. (Says hfcaps on the back.) Better ideas welcome.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Could easily get some THEMED stickers printed up an distributed.....

My name is....

 

[HunterSThompson]

Combine all the ideas.

Hello My Name is badges with everyone's name as Lloyd and we meet at the Greene Turtle.

This is pretty spectacular.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

So Lloyd name stickers with HF usernames?

or not. like hunter said, we're all lloyd...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Definitely need our usernames for identifiers.

 

[twabby]

Disagree. It'd be neat to try to guess who people are first.

Lame....I see no fun some sophomoric guessing game.

I’d much rather see a familiar name and be like “hey!!!”.


Don’t be afraid of the final reveal Twabby!

 

[Calicaps]

Ok people, we've got a bunch of ideas. Gonna refresh the poll.

 

[RandyHolt]

I will pose as Mr. Gone. Just kidding. Who literally is Mr Gone.

Maybe it's also best to just subtly tag what we wear to Kettler/Cap1 year round. on left shoulder front and back.

HF:RandyHolt

Hmmm scotch. Here comes Ovi!

 

[John Price]

depends on the schedule, but I'll definitely be there if possible

 

[Calicaps]

Come on people, you're from DC (mostly). Vote!

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Mr. Gone might have combusted.
