As hard as it is for people to move on from the fact that this is yet another year of disappointment for not only the players on The Washington Capitals but their fans along with them. All there is to do now is look to the future and have faith that they will only get better. Now we shift focus to Americas favorite pastime, baseball. My personal favorite teams are The Boston Red Sox and The Washington Nationals. So for the next couple of posts we'll be talking about the different aspects of baseball including; fans, statistics, players, and even the whole baseball game experience!
Let me start off with talking about the miracle that is the Washington Nationals. The past few years have not been so peachy keen for them. In 2008 their record was 59-102 and the year after that was even worse with a 59-103 record. This year there seems to be a glimmer of hope for the team. There are plenty of new teammates that by this point it's pretty much a brand new team. Their current record, although only the beginning of the season is 12-10, this is definitely a step-up. The real question is will they be able to withstand the pressure of keeping up this record?

Quest for the cup is over?!?!
Hey guys and girls!
As many of you already know the young team I talked about before, the Washington Capitals have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs. The reason for this is the superior goaltending of Jaraslov Halak of the Montreal Canadiens. Some wonder what went wrong, why couldn't we do it? The real question is did they really play a horrible game or was the bionic goalie just too good for us? Watching the Washington Capitals for the past year has been incredible and invigorating. Washington DC has become a hockey town and there is nothing wrong with that. The thing now is that we will see who are the true fans and who just wants to watch the winning team, no longer us.
On a different note, I saw the players at practice Wednesday morning and they all seemed to be in good spirits on the ice but when they came down to there cars their attitudes seemed to be somewhat different than that. Mike Green who always is willing to sign autographs for his fans declined and had a somewhat disappointed look about his face. Could this have been a sign that they had already given up? One will never know i suppose. One thing is for sure that this team has the strongest bond inside the locker room and outside the office. These guys hang out with each other as not too many of the other teams do. Only a defeat like this will tell us how strong they really are. Will they rally or give up? Guess we will find out next season...

Washington Capitals in the Playoffs
As you may know the Washington Capitals have managed to get themselves into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This in itself is a major accomplishment for the young team of guys,the eldest being Mike Knuble, age 37. BUT there is a controversy as to whether the age of the team is equals inexperience or if it means that they have more energy than any other team. They are currently preparing to play game 7 at the Verizon Center in Washington,DC. The fan base at Verizon Center is incredible, having had first hand experience, the screaming at the refs that seem to need to get some lasik surgery because of the insane calls being made. The guys on the team, including the coach have said that the fans are what keeps them going when they're down 3-2 with 30 seconds left in the period.
OK enough about me talking I wanna know if you think these boys/ men are too young for the honor of the Stanley cup or do you think that they should win to prove to everyone age doesn't matter?
