First NHL game? That’s awesome. I hope you have a great time and see some fantastic only-from-Ovi move. (And a Caps win.)

I’ll be there. It’d be good to get together with anyone else who’s in the area.

I’ll be at the Poor House Bistro before the game to get some n’awlin’s food and Abita beer. The place is small and it will be jam packed with Sharks fans, but it’s a good place to meet. Just walk around inside until you find some Caps fans. (I plan to wear red, but I may not have any Caps gear on me).

Shark Tank is very welcoming — they’ll give you shit in a fun and playful way, but you don’t have to worry about safety or beer down your back or anything. It really is a fun and raucus place to watch a game.

Anyone planning to join up at the Poor House Bistro? Anyone else planning to attend the game? I think it’d be fun to get together.

Sad to say I won’t be able to make a pregame gathering at Poor House now. But I’ll be at the game. Rock the Red!

Awesome. I have an old friend from college days who is a diehard Sharks fan, so at such time as I make it out to the Shark Tank, I will have to look her up as well.

I’ve been a hockey fan since I was a little kid, but I was never an obsessive hockey fan until I actually went to my first game sometime in high school. I don’t consider myself a sports person at all, but I’m a hockey person in every sense of the word.

There’s nothing like watching the Caps play these days at home in the Verizon Center. Get ready for an amazing gameday experience!!

I’ll be at the game with my mom. We’ll be in Section 217, I think.

I’m in 214, row 17, wearing red but no Caps gear

I will be drinking coffee tomorrow night, in a desperate effort to stay awake! Enjoy the game, gang, I’ll be thinking of you from unseasonably chilly Washington.

Fun fact: A popular opinion can still be stupid.
