Not Capitals related, though this might be something Oshie could pull off...if it were legal.  Anyway, to get us started, check out this video:

Already getting psyched up for that second round playoff collapse?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I don't think I'm even going to watch opening night.  Maybe tune in partway into the game.

Maybe they will crash out in a different round this year?  Maybe the first.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Not if they play the Flyers again

Probably too. Flyers are another year away I believe. But keep an eye on Provorov and Sanheim on defense this year. And maybe Konecny up front. And the most charming and knowledgable fans of course.

Maybe my sister can get me a ticket.

Wear red...

[mitlen]

Wear red...

I would.

[varoadking]

I would.

I'll look for you... 

[varoadking]

Season starts in 70 days...

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I really hope to have to give away Caps games because of October baseball.

The Caps first home game is October 15th.  The NLDS should be over by then...   

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Good point 

[varoadking]

44 days...

Brooks Orpik failed his skate test

[varoadking]

Brooks Orpik failed his skate test

Does that mean we can dump him... 

[mitlen]

Does that mean we can dump him... 

Refresh my memory.   I remember him missing a lot of time.      What was his "issue" last year?   

[Natsinpwc]

Brooks Orpik failed his skate test

Forgot how to skate?  Thought it was like riding a bike.

[varoadking]

Lower body injury for 1/2 the season and then the playoff suspension...

Would love to lose his salary...

[1995hoo]

Apparently he passed whatever the test was after doing it again.

[Slateman]

Refresh my memory.   I remember him missing a lot of time.      What was his "issue" last year?   

He broke a bone
