I’d like to finish a game with at least 50 percent of the fans still in the stands. Their reaction is completely warranted: booing us. We haven’t earned any of their respect. We haven’t earned any of their passion, their ambition. We’ve got to turn something around, and we’ve got to do it fast.”
We appreciate that Troy. We appreciate the fact you feel bad for us fans. You should. It has been painful to watch these first three games.
The Caps look sick, and not in a good way. The penalty kill has been awful, goaltending has been pathetic, and the effort put forth on the ice has been dismal. Over the last five years, DC has embraced the Capitals and revitalized the fan base. They have sold out...

Washington Capitals goalie Michal Neuvirth completely robbed New Jersey Devils defenseman Marek Zidlicky on this play. This has to be an early candidate for save of the year. Zidlicky had 2/3 of the net open and Neuvirth just snagged it. The Devils fans thought it was in and you can see almost an entire section behind the net start to celebrate and then become instantly disappointed...

The patterns—at least from the press box—looked more coordinated, as in, you could see them, even if nothing had resulted in an actual goal. But the Caps looked like they could be just one...
