NC: As a Caps fan I have to laugh at the comment regarding your man-crush on the Pens. Did you get the same reaction from Pens fans when you did your running stories on the Caps all of last year?

Scott Burnside: No. I think it all stems from my suggestion a few years ago the Caps should be one of the teams that should relocate before the Pens. Caps fans have long memories, look at how long they got on Larry Murphy and Sergei Gonchar after they left town. Hey, it's their team, they're protective of it.

Reasonable answer from Scott Burnside during his 4:00pm EST ESPN.com chat.

Jeez. I hadn’t even remembered that. Nice that I was a master of subtlety even then.

That’s old school. I remember the days when I lurked. Good times.

I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

You may recall that after signing with the Caps this summer but before reporting to training camp in September, BMo took a trip to the Canadian wilderness for charity. 
 


Despite the "mosquitos as big as seagulls", the participants all survived and emerged from the woods to a tasty homestyle Hornpayne feast.
