I'm a Caps fan.
who isnt these days.
Ok so why so much attitude (not just from you) about all the new fans in DC? People who are just getting into hockey aren't allowed to??
It only makes sense there would be lot of new hockey fans in DC. There hasn't been a likable, winning team in this city for well over a decade. The caps ownership and management are doing a brilliant job of marketing the team, and they're winning. To top it off they have one of the games biggest stars (if not THE biggest star) on the roster. So what's not to like? Why shouldn't the team have a boat load of new fans?
I have a well-stated personal vendetta against the Capitals. we know that. Other than that i find it simply annoying that people constantly ridicule me about being Canadian and hockey and what not, all of a sudden want to come over and watch the game or talk about last nights action.
I dont know, i suppose if i thought you all would be here in 3 years after Ovechkin gets traded to Detroit then perhaps i wouldnt mind.
Also, just remember, whenever you are just getting into anything (even this forum) you should always expect the people who are already there to be skeptical and sometimes poke fun.
hockey newbies are no different!
your team is up 2-0, though, so i wouldnt let it bother you much.
