I’m watching right now and the over-use of Walton’s calls is really killing it for me so far. They switch it up like one every 10 goals. I don’t dislike him but it’s pretty annoying hearing him over and over. They’ve used his boring yelling schtick over some great calls like Doc’s Ovi one in game 3 vs Pitt and the Backstrom OT goal in game 5 round 1.I enjoyed the Blu Ray. Thought it was well done. However, one huge, glaring omission: you're going to include some footage of Leonsis, deservedly so, he's the owner, after all. Then you're include some footage of Mcphee. Not crazy about it, but he did select OV after all, so ok, whatever, have your five minutes. But then you are NOT going to include BMac? The architect of the historic 2018 team? Utterly bizarre.

I thought about this, at first I was if he didn't rip on all the guys that left I'd have been disappointed and there's no way that was happening, then I just would have wanted that interview where he says they have a Stanley Cup hangover without the Cup, and everyone was like look at this asshole but it ended up putting the failure spotlight on himself instead of the team. Now I just assume he was doing stuff for the draft and free agency and didn't have the time.I enjoyed the Blu Ray. Thought it was well done.

So this just happened. I actually got to see the Cup in real life - and only about a mile from my house. As a Danish hockey fan, that still seems unreal. Thank you Lars and thank you Capitals.
Which one is you?
Impressive showing for Eller.I am actually visible (just) - I'm on the left side of Lars Eller's armpit.
(I'm going to rank that pretty high on my personal list of things I never thought I'd say...)
