Emotional day down on F St. today, for the obvious (speculative) reasons, but also a HUGE win to stay alive, capped by stirring post-game words from the Captain.
Whether they make it in or not, this last stretch of the season with the #CockroachCaps has been one wild ride.
@d_man_doitagain@chaddukes I forgot about that last guy just putting a bow on the celebration with the most satisfied utterance of “McDonald’s” this side of a third-grader whose ride home just rolled into the drive-thru on the way home from school on a Friday in 1983.
The 2025-26 Washington Capitals have been, in a word, confounding.
I feel like the number of games that went the way logic & current trends would’ve predicted can be counted on 2 hands, at most.
So I guess the #CockroachCaps still hanging around makes a strange kind of sense.
At one point, corporate told the Don & Mike Show they couldn’t play bodily sounds on the air.
In response, they made voice drops describing many such sounds.
One of them was “GREAT BIG FART!” in deep voice with reverb.
That’s been on a loop in my head for much of this game.
@rmnb Also ESPN shows endless replays no matter what. Often with full audio and from every available angle so if you look away it sounds like things have gotten even worse.
