Seriously Supe, I ain't tryna jinx it or nothing, but I legit am getting those 2006 Colts vibes from this team Find me a single person that picked a Caps Vegas finals back in October. Sports are crazy man. Hopefully the Colts do something randomly crazy like this in a few months too! But till then, Go Caps! This team has something special to it. They've got tons of heart. It reminds me so much of the 2006 Colts team. The only thing that has me a little worried now is Marc-Andre Fleury being the Knights goalie. He has too much experience crushing the hopes and dreams of Caps fans. Hopefully this time around, it'll be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m lost for words. Holtby is a God among men. That was arguably the biggest save in Caps franchise history. That 3rd period was giving me heart palpitations. But I'm really glad the Caps stole home ice from Vegas. Hopefully Kuzy can come back healthy and they can reel off 2 wins in DC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 3 wins away Northern and now you have Home Ice Advantage, bring home the Championship. It would be pretty equivalent to the Cubs winning the WS in 2016 because the Caps have never won a Stanley Cup. Cubs hadn't won in 108 years until 2016 - just a super high for me! I have to admit I don't watch Hockey much but the Caps are a great story, I am rooting them. They are why I am watching. I have always known who Ovechkin is and he's one of the Greatest without a Title so I hope he gets one. Holtby's save was unbelievable, I look at the replay of it and still cant believe Vegas didn't score on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 What the Knights have done this year has been incredible but it just seems like this is finally the year for the Caps. Ovechkin to me is kinda like the Peyton Manning of hockey. Couldn’t win the big game or get past his rival Crosby. Finally it looks like he will achieve something we have expected for so long. Happy for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man if we can win a SB in 2 or 3 years with Andrew Luck at QB, I will have the same feelings again like in 2006 and 2016 - Cubs, like you had in 2006 and now in 2018 with the Caps. Congrats to Ovechkin too, guy is one of the best ever. Glad he got his Championship! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I select "thank you" or "haha" or just "like" this. You and I must have been thinking along the same wavelength. I was going to reply earlier and tell you the Vikes are due before the Colts. The Vikes have never won despite having been to the SB four times and having a higher than normal number of players inducted into the Pro Football HoF. The Vikes and the Lions are the only NFC teams not to make it to the SB in the last 30 years. I am hopeful this season will be a good one. Thanks! As for the Mets, they are done. Congrats again. I can't wait to feel the same emotions of my team winning a championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an Oilers fan too! They need a lot of help for McDavid. They've been doing better recently, but still need more help and talent. The Blackhawks just fired Joel Quenneville, and I'd love to see him in Edmonton. Fire McLellan, fire Chiarelli (who I think is the worst GM in the league) and bring in Quenneville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
