Riiiiiiight

Sorry, Bruce Boudreau, but Washington is not the "New Hockeytown." In three and a half months of an internship that took me all around the Capitol building, there was not one single mention of Alex Ovechkin. Even when I said "I'm a big hockey fan." Not one. Of course, that was in the fall of '07, before everyone could hop on the bandwagon.

Well, since Hockeytown is taken, let's see what we have in storage. *Dusts off Carolina Hurricanes 2005-06 Flavor of the Month T-shirts*

(Maybe we can re-consider their application when the Capitals fail to sell-out playoff games. Hey-oh!)

Now it's gotten to the point where I'm sick of hearing about Ovy. Which is a goddamn shame.; April 11, 2009 at 4:22 AM

"Maybe we can re-consider their application when the Capitals fail to sell-out playoff games. Hey-oh!" BURN Hahhahahaaha I love it.; April 11, 2009 at 9:18 AM

Yeah, the Caps went from being an indie band with promise to the Strokes. For anything you can say about the Strokes at their peak, the over-love and excessive media fellatio made them pretty detestable.; April 11, 2009 at 4:09 PM
