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

[Calicaps]

Just announced - Caps are playing Boston on banner night.

Yay! Boston is lame but whatevs.

And the night after it's Pittsburgh
Lol NHL
Didn't want to put their darlings on that night.

Was predictable

 

[g00n]

Should've been the Pens. Lord knows the NHL has done that to us before. And recently.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Gotta have "pens are back" narrative ready to go....

 

[ovikovy817]

So, Boston and Pittsburgh on a back to back with travel. We will have a long night in DC (with the banner) and Pittsburgh will have the night off.

NHL, never change.

Boston on opening night makes little sense compared to pittsburgh. Why not have the last 2 Cup champions play each other? Ovechkin v Crosby?

Pure cowardice.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Don't care who they're playing or that they're playing in Pittsburgh the next night. I'll be there drunk and happy as hell.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

Halfway considering making the trek back to Pittsburgh after opening night and making it a mini-vacation. I'm sure some of the people from Pitt remember HandsomeTom43 dancing on their hockey graves all night after the Kuzy OT winner.

Again, well done Agent HT43. Prepare for deployment in early October, to continue your quest to haunt their dreams. Code name: Operation Deflate Puffy Lips.

A graphic designer friend and fellow Caps fan volunteered to design our name tags, and I'm pretty f***ing stoked with her work. (sorry it's huge)

 

[Calicaps]

So, for $4-5 each (depending how many folks are interested) we have the above images with our handles pre-printed on them and red lanyards. Is that too snazzy? What do folks think?

 

[Calicaps]

It's like herding cats... new poll. The question is basically, will you pay $5?

 

[Calicaps]

Fine, let’s try this: if you are willing to pay $5 and want a tag, PM me.

 

[Calicaps]

Bump. Were a month out now. If you want a name tag, PM me. They’re $5.

@BobRouse what news?

 

[Calicaps]

Sigh... so the name tag thing is out. I'll get some stickers made up that folks can write their names on, but we don't have enough takers on the permanent tags to make it cost-effective.

You guys are really killjoys, you know.

 

[Hivemind]

Everyone just tattoo their usernames onto their foreheads

 

[Cappy76]

I'll be there not as active as most others are around here but I'll be making the trip from SE KY

 

[Calicaps]

The stickers have been purchased. I do not expect to have to buy my own beverages at this shindig. BTW, @BobRouse, where are we meeting up?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Wish tickets weren't so much

 

[Calicaps]

Wish tickets weren't so much

Yeah. You can still come down and watch at the bar with folks...

 

[John Price]

Yup. If you can't get in, at least celebrate in the vibe outside the stadium. Plenty of bars around Capital One.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Sorry I just saw this. I am 100% in. Whatever is decided, I will be there

 

[Calicaps]

The name tag stickers are here. It seems @BobRouse has abandoned us. So where do y'all want to meet?

 

[John Price]

Green Turtle is an option but is probably most crowded of all considering it's close vicinity to the stadium. Other options include Bar Louie, Penn Commons, Rocket Bar and Jackpot.
