… they beat the Thrashers last night 2-1. Hallejuah! :)
This, from the Caps message boards, is pretty damn funny – credit goes to someone named Toad04:
SCENE: CAPS LOCKER ROOM, PRE-GAME. ALL PLAYERS PRESENT,EXCEPT FOR GONCHAR IN STALL)
GONCH: “Fellas! What you think. Dear Korn-heister. You are what we call in my country a “gootchkas”. I must now wipe mt bu tt and there is no paper here but your column today. (flushes toilet.) Bye bye Tony!”
(LAUGHTER.) ENTER BUTCH CASSIDY.
CASSIDY: Hi fellas. Good to see you in all good spirits. Listen, you guys are professionals, so I won’t be making any speeches or pep talks. I just want to make one point, that I think is the key to victory tonight. Jeff, can you guess what it is?
HALPERN: “That we play hard- forecheck- give it our best, leave nothing on the ice?”
CASSIDY: “No-o-o-o. Jags, can you guess?”
JAGR: “Guess what?”
CASSIDY: “Guess what we have to do to win tonight!!!!”
JAGR:(mumbles)”I don’t know. Score goals? Why did I have to answer? Is that my fault?”
CASSIDY: “Actually thats half right. True, we have to score goals, but we have to score MORE goals than the other team does. Now, who are the Captains tonight? Peter?”
BONDRA: “No. I was last time. Anyway, I only am captain for Wed and Saturday games.
GRIER: “Hold on, Sucker. The only way I agreed to this “Captain” stuff is if I get Saturday nights!”
GONCHAR: “Hey Semin! You want to be Captain tonight? No, not get food. Captain! zsxorovsz!
KOLZIG: “JESUS F-ING CHR*** IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN HONOR YOU F-ING BUNCH OF F-ING IDIOTS!”
(silence)
WILLSIE: “Olie, I never get to play so I watch the Big Screen. What happened to, “But off the ice, he’s a gentle giant?”
OLIE: “Who the F- are you? How did you get in here?”
CASSIDY: “Guys we’re getting a little off track here. Look, we’ve got to get on the same page”
GONCHAR:(still in bathroom stall) “Coach? Slide page under door. I know just what to do with it. What you think, Semin?”
SEMIN: “*morozov kruszchezsk asltzkmm…*” (Ah, how I miss old country…..)
ANNOUNCER: “AND HERE THEY ARE, YOUR NATIOOOOOOOONS CAPITALS!”
LOL Yeah, you have to know all the inside jokes so only Snapper and Kim will get this but I think it’s funny as hell.
Caps play Minnesota today. C A P S – Caps, Caps, Caps!
And in other news – nothing. Seriously. heh Had a nice day today (shall not elaborate for you all) and am waiting on the 8pm start of the game.
The win was great! For what crowd there was it was an energetic group. IMHO they played better during most of this game than all season. I don’t see a lot of “team” but hell a win is a win and I’ll take them any way!!! Plus my boy played a lot :)
Sure, the Atlanta game was a refreshing change to the losses we’d been having, but wouldn’t you know it, right back on track the next night with the Wild. Oh well. And Tampa Bay is coming up. Whooo hoooo! That ought to be good. And I did enjoy that locker room scene. Glad to know that I’m not the only one who thinks Korn-holer is a f’ing joke. Crossing my fingers for another win……
