All teasing aside, I thank the Washington Capitals for a tremendous season and an Eastern Conference Semis series for the ages. Don’t despair, Caps fans. The team’s solid; they’ll be back next year and for many more thereafter. There’s a Cup in their future – just not right now.
So yeah. Don’t you all hate it when I’m right?
Ben H. Rome: A happy transplant from Pittsburgh, Ben loves to wander the city with his wife, shooting lots of photos and exploring all the latest exhibits and galleries. During hockey season, he sort of roots for the Washington Capitals but don't expect him to give up his 25 year affair with the Penguins. Constantly writing, he can be found babbling about daily life on Twitter and when he has time, covering the latest exhibitions or interviewing interesting people. Despite his sport allegiance, he truly loves DC and doesn't see leaving the area any time soon. If you've got a museum exhibit/program or other cultural event coming up, drop him a line at bhrome AT welovedc DOT com. We know he'd love to cover it for you.

Great series up until last night when who knows what happened to the Caps. To undo my bird voodoo promotion, I’m jumping on the vegetarian bandwagon for a weeks to make amends and set up good karma for next season.

You know, as a hockey fan, I feel almost cheated by that game. For six games it was a war, back and forth, wins in each other’s buildings, one-goal games, three times into OT… Game 7 should have been the culmination of all of it, a game for the ages.
Instead, the Caps rolled over and did their best Islanders impression.
Its weird, but I really do feel like hockey fans deserved better.

I think what happened was the graphic CSC showed comparing the Hershey Bears’ series record with that of the Caps. After that, it all went downhill.
