LOL

Let's not forget that they also had to go from VHS to DVD to streaming!

LMAO! Can't believe how much they resemble each other...

A lot of you might have seen this since it is several years old now. This video is the essence of who and what makes Joe Gibbs so great and also the guys that played for him. I see a little Joe in DQ. They both have great respect for their players and their players for them. Man these were good years. We got spoiled and didn't know how good.

Come on Caps, don't blow this.

After 4 1/2 periods it was 8-1 Caps and then they thought their poop didn't stink.

I love the Caps. I was a diehard in the 80s and 90s. The cup run was magical. Looks like they have finally found an adequate replacement for Trotz. At this point I'm probably considered a casual. Still....5-1 has a ring to it. Eight minutes.

Very cool. Being older than you I go back even further. As a teen they showed the Hockey game of the week on Saturdays. My friends and I all bought sticks and a puck meant for the street and played daily when it was warm enough. I paint dyed two tshirts one with Canadien colors and one with the Flyers. Then Pollin moved the Baltimore Bullets and got the Caps franchise. Cap Centre was 5 miles from my house. I was there from year 1.

The Cup run was amazing. I had been a fan for so long. Love Ovi ..... like other sports I was more passionate when I was younger ..... Gartner and Stevens were the best. Hard to believe it has been 50 years.

Pete Peters, Rod.....those were my guys when I started watching the Caps in the 80s on HTS.

Still hurts that they traded Gartner for Dino, even though Dino was good for us. The back line of Stevens and Hatcher was so good. This year could be fun.

I quit rooting for them when they traded Gartner. A bit later they traded Scott Stevens and I rooted against them. They were my two favorite players by a mile. Ovi brought me back.

Being 6 foot and 145-155 pounds my biggest asset when I played was speed. Gartner was so fast. He won the All Star race year after year. Naturally I gravitated towards fast guys.

My brother (13 years younger) got to play hockey on ice.

Rod was like BWags now. He helped give legitamcy to the team ....

Rick Green was originally drafted by the Caps (1st overall) in 1976, and was traded (along with Ryan Walter) to the Montreal Canadiens for Craig Laughlin, Doug Jarvis, Brian Engblom, and Rod Langway. This is when the team became legitimate.

Rick Green was a Richard.

Yeah, you're a day one. I'm a child of the blown 3-1 leads. Lol

I hate to admit this, but I kinda stopped watching them when the ditched the Red, White and Blue. I don't know why, but I'm a uniform guy. When they played Detroit, I couldn't have cared less. I came back when they went back to the OG uniform colors.

Kinda why I'm so hung up on these new Commander uniforms.

Sadly the team did that way too many times.

This is a cool short on someone who I follow on Twitter who matches sports moments to art masterpieces. I‘ve posted the Ascension one before with Jayden’s picture

This made me laugh!
