Caps License Plates in D.C.

If this legislation passes, fans who live in the actual home of our favorite team can join the neighboring suburbs in being able to show our vehicular support.

"It's the curve."

The real reason for Eric Fehr's recent goal surge? He's been using Ovechkin's sticks.

RUN OVER IN THE RINK: New York Rangers hockey player Sean Avery (16) collided with Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury during a game at Madison Square Garden in New York City Monday. The Penguins notched a 5-2 victory. (Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)Just thought this was a cool photo. Maybe the only time Avery isn't a douche is when he's running over a Penguin? Nah, still a douche.

The past 18 years featured exactly one finals trip by a DC team: the Caps in 1998. And they got demolished. You know it's been a lean stretch when DC's single biggest sports highlights this decade were (A) Kornheiser and Wilbon getting their own ESPN show, and (B) male college students in the DC area pounding their headboards after sex in honor of Alex Ovechkin.

Our goal is to win the Stanley Cup and that hasn't changed. I don't know if we've gotten any closer with the changes made this summer but I do think our guys, to a man, think that if things could have gone a little different in Game 7 (against Pittsburgh last season) we would have had a great chance to win it.

The centrepiece was to be a game featuring Sidney Crosby's Pittsburgh Penguins and Alex Ovechkin's Capitals in Washington. The concept was to capitalize on the profile hockey will gain in the United States from the Vancouver Games by featuring Crosby and Ovechkin, the NHL's top two TV attractions, in a special venue in the U.S. capital - possibly the National Mall.

Pittsburgh's captain too good to shake hands with Detroit's?
