Take two sips for every caps shot on net, one shot for every caps goal, and one shot for the start of every overtime period. That way, not only is the game even more fun to watch, but even if we go all the way to triple overtime and lose, I won't feel the pain! I’ve developed a great drinking game/coping mechanism.

I'm a realist dammit. Not a pessimist. We'll get 'em next year. Or the year after that. I think.....

Finally I will say this also: I am very interested in how (whichever team that advances) does in the next round... cause the way this series has gone against a division winning stanley cup defenders, either the capitals suddenly are doing a lot better or Boston suddenly got a lot worse... ^ranger fans are saying that to themselves also.

NO, THEY DID NOT! In the Capitals defense the road team almost always wins the insanely long overtime playoff games in the modern era…

adding to the two (87 and 96) from the capitals
the flyer in Pitt 2000
Anaheim in Dallas in ’03
san jose in dal in 08

the only ones really where the home team won were
van over dal in 07

and frankly its safe to say that Dallas has passed us as the overtime chumps… plus they never won a stanley cup either…

NO, THEY DID NOT!

I was at the Easter epic, and even attended the fifth game loss to the Islanders (after going up 2-0 in a five game series) in 1985. I'm not able to be as detached as you, though--intellectually I know things almost always end badly, and yet I get sucked in every year, thinking this will be the year that will be different. It just gets more and more painful, though. This was a really great piece.

Admittedly I've only been a Caps fan since 1999, but seeing so much failure in that short span has made me more pessimistic than the latest additions to the fan base. Great job, Murphy.
