The only opponents' jersey I saw in my section was an idiot with a Pens jersey. Here is to a better game tomorrow. Glad I missed the broadcast.

To call that run at Huet "incidental contact" over and over again or even Milbury's "Crapitals" comment..... Truly sad. I hope the game next week gets bumped back down to regional coverage. I'd rather the nation never see the Caps than to be subjected to that garbage. The only thing missing is Melrose saying that Ovechkin shouldn't be the regular season MVP unless he takes his team past the first round....

It was more than one sided commentary. It was sickening to think any national broadcast that is supposed to be promoting the game. I got so annoyed that I just watched the game with no sound at all.

From Pierre McGuire, Mike Milbury and the play of the Caps, I truly wanted to vomit. Everything about that broadcast made me sick.

Was that mentioned?" Heh...I'm surprised that didn't get brought up. But at least one Crosby/Pen jersey wearer was sighted on Sun. Two Islander-jersey wearing fans in Sec 109, earlier on Friday. Which makes one wonder what the heck goes through the minds of these people. I feel like asking them if they are lost. “How many of the fans in attendance were wearing Crosby’s jerseys?

Missing them only added to the "not-quite-right" feeling I had watching that game on Sunday. As much as I love the national coverage of Caps games, I sorely missed Joe B, Laughlin, & Koken.

If McGuire saw something the other 18,000 people didn't, a drug test might be more appropriate than a sobriety test. Thanks for sharing this with my fellow caps fans. Keep up the good work guys.
