no, my faves from back in those days were langway, mike gartner, calle johanssen. remember yelling peeeeete, when peterson made a good save. my favorite goalie out of all the caps past/present is kolzig. later on, bondra was awesome, oates was a fave...
it was always frustrating tho when polian owned them, it seemed he'd trade a good one whenever we got one. he didn't seem to want to pay the money.

They just seem to be one of those organizations that have always had really good players/teams, but just can't get over the hump. The same can be said for the team that they have now a days.

One prominent Post columnist would affectionately refer to the Caps this time of year as the Choking Dogs.

one of my fondest memories when I was growing up was sitting on the glass at us airways arena (aka the half pipe) and being amazed at what great hair ron dugay had back in the day, pre-helmet days.

I think every hockey “fan” knew the flyers were either coming back with vengeance or gonna muck it up after they went down 3-0. After the first goal you could see the momentum shift, and as they say a 2-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey. Letang and Staal need to remove head from ass, and that OT winner doesn’t go in. That series seems to be living up to expectations.
These were, and still are my predictions that were made before the start of yesterday’s series

Ottawa 7
Boston 6
NJ 5
PIT 6
VAN 5
STL 7
CHI 6
DET 5
