While Bitsy is not my favorite anthem singer, some of the anthem singers used by the Mystics this past summer were truly awful. A few didn’t get all the words right, many created a new melody for the anthem, and many took a long time to finish. While listening to them, I kept praying that the Caps would never use them to sing the anthem. At least, Bitsy doesn’t sing at an extremely slow pace in an effort to extend a Star Search moment.

Bitsy actually makes me long for Peter Barton and Elmer Fudd. She’s got to be the worst of the anthem singers, and I almost cried when I saw she was going to be singing last night. I’ve emailed Ted several times to no avail. Between the Whoring of the Land and the cutsey two hands on the mike for “home of the brave” she drives me insane. Not to mention the fact that she’s usually off key. She’s an embarrassment to the Capitals organization

Seems to me Nylander never does the right thing with the puck… He either passes when he should shoot, shoots when he should pass, or just skates around in circles for some long that he misses any chance to do either… I remember last night after a particularly long series of circling he simply passed the puck to a Canadien, prompting a fan one section over to shout, “Nice pass, you bum!” and me to double over laughing.

“They outplayed us. They were better than us.” Canadiens coach Guy Carbonneau said. “We were lucky to get the points.”

A very frustrating game from the stands… the team played pretty darned well overall but just couldn’t seal the deal.

And keep smiling that I’m-just-here-for-the-money smile, Kozlov, you bum. Your team is losing and you’re still yukkin’ it up in the 3rd period.

If Semin had waited any longer to take that shot we’d have had a 5-1 game.

I guess we finally get to find out if Brian Pothier is really the cause of all the Caps woes.

Congrats to D.C.S.C. and Chanuck for the one on the way. Roman’s not a bad name. Do you really wish to have named the girl after #28? I don’t think that wouldn’t work too well. So it could be worse.
Does Pothier’s broken thumb mean Eminger MAY see the ice?

I like Bitsy’s voice…but, yeah, all of the h’s in front of a leading vowel is really, really annoying.
