I caught the Caps beating the hated Flyers on Tues (intense as fuck), and I have decided to become a huge Caps fan. I wouldn't really call this an all out bandwagon jump, as I grew up going to Caps games (at the old Caps Center) with mi padre. The Capitals are a very well run organization (from what I can tell) and they are very young and have the best player in the world. Here's a message to all my fellow Redskins fans from some dude:

Welcome to the group of Washington Capitals fans, where you are treated with respect by the organization and its owners. This change can be shocking for those used to their experiences with the Redskins. But let me assure you that none of this is for show. You will attend games at a state-of-the-art sports facility located in the center of downtown D.C., easily reached by public transportation and surrounded by great restaurants and attractions. You will cheer for a team run by an incredibly accessible owner and a knowledgeable GM who uses the team’s draft picks smartly and does not spend several hours out of his week hosting a radio show. Don’t worry about losing anything though in the transition; the players are just as quirky (see their segway adventures) and the coach has just as many wacky sayings plus he looks like an egg. Again, welcome to the Washington Capitals and we hope you will be rocking the red for a long time to come.
