As much as I want to protect myself from future disappointment, I believe in this team. I've been a Caps fan for 13 years, I was there for the '98 run, and this team is better. They are young and very new to this whole playoff intensity thing, but the way they're playing right now shows me that if we can make it in, we're going to make some noise. And if not, this team is going to be a real force in the East next year. I love this team and Boudreau for bringing it all together. I've never been more excited as a Caps fan for the future - it looks very bright. Great writeup. As much as I want to protect myself from future disappointment, I believe in this team.

Somewhere in my parents' basement I still have an autographed Bucky Dent bat . . . unless, of course, they did the traditional parental thing and threw it out or used it for firewood, like my grandmother did to my dad's Mickey Mantle rookie card while she was cleaning the closets during his Vietnam deployment. Ouch! Having grown up in an NYC suburb, I loved the Bucky Dent reference.

And that stretch run is really driving me crazy. Between games I can't really concentrate on anything. Getting drunk during games doesn't help either. Got a meeting tomorrow that would force me to miss at least parts of the game. Guess I'll be missed.. Great read, pucks. And that stretch run is really driving me crazy.

That's kind of what I figured. Also, his wife (Jeff's mom) died in a car crash before Jeff's last season here in DC. She was always with Mel at the games. Maybe with Jeff gone and his wife no longer there, it just stopped being fun. Josh,

He used to sit right behind me for years, but when Jeff left, Mel was no longer there the following season. Someone told me(unconfirmed)that he was upset that the Caps didn't make an effort to keep Jeff. Anyone know? Is Mel Halpern still a STH?
