Washington Capitals Fan Pulse — Gameday in Washington, D.C.

Your Caps are feeling good about the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight

Murr-lin, lemme tell you, the vibes in Washington, D.C. right now are something else. Err’body in the DMV been walking around with that little extra bounce in their step, that knowing glance, since we started this whole push. Even after that stumble against the Buffalo Sabres, you hear people at Swings Coffee in Capitol Hill or waiting for the bus on H Street NE talking about how we're still right there. It’s not a frantic kind of energy, you feel me? It's more like a deep breath, like folks remembering what this Washington Capitals team is capable of when they lock in.

The main jont driving the conversation, beyond us even making the playoffs, is Ovi. Always Ovi. You hear people sayin', "Can you imagine Ovi doing this again?" or "He's just built different." It's that faith in number 8 that keeps the energy high, even when the standings get a little tight. Tonight, facing the Toronto Maple Leafs, it feels like a test, but one this city is ready for. It's not anxiety, it’s anticipation for what this team, *our* team, can do when the lights are bright.

C-A-P-S! Caps! Caps! Caps! — this is O, from the District.

O. and the crew always break it down proper every morning – y’all need to tap in at mornings.live.
