Love Ovi, incredible player! Personally I'm a Hawks fan (born on the south side) but the Capitals are by far the scariest team out east!

How are you liking the new ot @ 3 on 3?

But I prefer full team play.

What about you?

Have been incredibly exciting, so I'm sold! I think it'll attract a whole new group of fans as well. Never a fan of the skills competition and 3 on 3 has shrunk the percentage of games getting there and I'm a goalie! I think the playoffs should be full strength ot's still though - not positive what the plan is for that is though...

Too bad the Caps are such playoff choke artists and he'll never get his name on the cup.

And there are three teams that have been around longer that haven't won the cup.

Losing to the 8 seed in the first round, when they had the second best record in hockey and were up 3-1?

I mean, I suppose that was 2010, but WTF? Ovi was there, watching, watching.

They were up 3-1 to the Rangers last year, too, right? And dropped two in overtime, including Game 7. That hadda sting.

The Caps win the cup and in politics... Who knows? You do know Hillary is a seriously flawed candidate don't you? Never mind, I know you can't admit it, but you know. You all do.
