    philly fans suck. I don't like the caps, but their bandwagon fans have been through it. they've seen early exits when they were good, they've blown 2 game leads before, so I think the fans know pain.

      The "fans" have been through playoff disappointment but not real disappointment because they weren't there when the team started struggling. Before the 04 lockout, it was like the Caps almost didn't exist. No one wore the year, no one talked about the team, the arena was half empty unless a good team or a team that travels well was in town. I used to get tickets for less than face value.

      Then they got Ovechkin and he generated some interest. Then they went on that great run after they hired Boudreau during the season and they've been good ever since. All of a sudden there are millions of "fans" who don't know **** about the sport or even their team. At the games, people get pissed about obvious icing or offsides calls because they don't understand the rules. If you go to a game in Buffalo, you'll see people wearing slug and goat head gear. Well, the Caps had these black, blue and gold sweaters before they reverted to their more classic logo they used now. You literally NEVER see people wearing that pre-04 stuff because Caps "fans" were all but non-existent. Most of the people in DC just didn't care about hockey and/or came from somewhere else and rooted for their hometown team.

      But DC loves a trend and everyone couldn't wait to jump on board once the winning started. They've got maybe 2-3 good years left before age and the cap catches up to them and they'll be out of the playoffs for 2-3 seasons of rebuilding. It'll be interesting to see who stays on the bandwagon. If the Redskins or the Wizards are winning, it won't be anyone.

        The hit by Bellamare on Orlov last night was horrible. No place at all for that **** in the game.

        And today, Andrew Peters tried to blame Orlov.

          Well you can't blame Peters. He has CTE because his hockey fighting style involved blocking the other guy's punches with his face.

            Holy crap. Orlov is lucky he didn't get his neck broken. Brutal.

            Bellemare messed up, knew it immediately and went over to check on Orlov. To his credit, you don't see that too often. Video with commentary en francais.

            Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

                    I know there are chuckleheads everywhere, but Philly seems to be the worst by far. They make Bills fans look downright civilized and there are a lot of Neanderthals at the Ralph.

                            TB owned the redwings in the second period and then let it go late in the period. then they battled back. I was hoping to see more fireworks between the teams and see abdelcader continue to get into it.

                              Flyers laughton goes awkwardly into boards. Stretchered off.

                                *sigh... I was forced to re-evaluate my stance on Flyers/Caps.

                                The reason I hate the Caps is that their "fan" base is a bunch of bandwagon jumpers who don't deserve a championship. But a bandwagon fan base is a much lesser offense than what Philly fans pulled the other night. Their fan base is far less deserving at the moment. So, I don't want to see the Caps win the Cup, but their "fans" are far more deserving of getting out of this round than Philly fans at the moment.
