Free Beer!

I figured that might grab your attention. Anyway, here's the deal - click this link, follow the directions, show up at Rhino Bar in Georgetown to watch the game tomrrow night and the first round's on us. You guys like beer. You guys like hockey. Sometimes you guys even like each other. You'll definitely like this. - The Rink

I figured I’d rec this… anything that involves Free Beer would get rec’d by me, even though I can’t drink it. :(

Let's go Caps!

Dang. I’ll be hoisting from RFK tomorrow, and keeping tabs on the game there. Have fun.

I’ll be there.

See, you and me got off on the wrong foot. Let’s say we work it out over a free beer, k? I’ll even buy.

by Rompy on Apr 21, 2009 5:56 PM EDT reply actions

Hmmm.

I’m pondering what to do. On the one hand, I love free beer, and I love the Caps.

On the other hand, I’m worried about “changing the luck” after watching the last game at home.

Suggestions?

The wife and I will be coming. You should come, we can fight to the death over Flash and Fehr’s ice time!

Very, very tempting. :)

Is that a subtle way of suggesting my company’s not wanted? :)

No, I’m suggesting your mojo is too important to the team, of course! We need all the help we can get.

I think I might need to bring my mojo/Deadmarsh jersey to Rhino’s. . . My cable is out. >:-(

Great Idea

Free beer at my house for all Caps fans in Massachusetts! Looks like I’ll be drinking alone again…

I could come with my son, but he’s only 18…months. And his bedtime is 7:30.

You anywhere near Framingham?

Yeah, ‘98 was the first year after I moved here…that was fun, especially Tim Taylor’s big toe.

I’m hoping for New Year’s at Fenway, too!

No free beer

But I’ll be watching from Looney’s South with a group of ten or so

Damn this country and its stupid nonsensical laws. I’m an adult, yet cannot drink, how is that constitutional?

It’s the internet. Everyone’s a he until proven otherwise. Also, doesn’t tear me up. Most hardcore hockey fans – male.

Whoaaaaaa

I finally say that I think Aucoin should play instead of Nyls and Brash, and I’m still Nyls lover? Gooooooood looooord.

Also, admit it, most people assume everyone else on the internet is male. I’m not really that out of line, nor “not calm”.

My actual fortune cookie from dinner tonight

Good thing I don’t play hockey anymore and that the Icebats no longer exist. That kinda narrows it down.

If there’s one thing we all know Chinese magic is good at, it’s predicting NHL success…

I will be lurking, since I usually don’t post during games.

by katzistan on Apr 22, 2009 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions

Not me, but only because the Caps tend to suck when I participate in open threads. Obviously, my behavior determines the outcome of games.

by grapejoos on Apr 22, 2009 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions

If I’m participating, that’s a bad sign. Since the computer is in a room without a television, that means I’ve abandoned the game.

by gfcaps fan on Apr 22, 2009 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions

Same here. I tend to be a intermission poster or an-all hope is lost poster.
