    Who is down for heading to a caps game before our season gets under way?

    http://capitals.nhl.com/club/schedule.htm

    Taking a look at that I would say lets go for Friday Mar 12, 2010 Lightning vs. Capitals at 7:00 PM

    If you are interested let me know here so i can get a rough number of tickets we need and get in touch with the caps ticket rep.

    Talk to Duffman, he's the Barra's resident Caps rep. He helped Ted start a supporters group for the Caps too, I think it's called "The Fifth Line" or something to that effect.

    How'd I miss a decent Caps supporters group??

    I'll be there already, and hopefully ya'll are near 421!! We always have random people behind us, so it'd be nice to see some familiar faces. :p

    When was the last time the Caps won the Stanley Cup?

    I hate the Penguins, but it is tough to talk smack to the current Stanley Cup holders.

    Lot 8, passed out
    I called them before the season started to try to do group tickets. The first person I talked to said they were not selling group tickets except to people that ran groups the previous year. Then I talked to the guy I went through a couple years ago and he said he could do it for me. Except that they are charging full face value, which for upper deck in the corners is about $60/per ticket versus about the $20 I paid a couple years ago. Also, they would require all the money up front instead of paying a deposit and adjusting the numbers as the game drew closer. So you'd need to put up about $1800 for 30 tickets or so. Needless to say I didn't bother trying to run any groups this year.

    Your best bet is to try to find groups of like 8 tickets here and there on StubHub, but I looked at that yesterday cuz I'm organizing a group game for my ski resort buddies and they were running about $50 for upper corners and that's without the service charge.

    So... It can be done, but people have to be willing to cough up some serious cash.

    I'm down for a weekend game... I think I've got all the 5th Line banners we made too- but they only worked when we were in the absolute nosebleeds and could tape them to the wall behind us.

    Back to back Stanley Cup finals, just last year champions.

    And when Anaheim starts to lose sight of the playoff, Scott Niedermayer will be picked up by the Capitals. Can you say back-to-back champions?

    I used to have season tickets in the late 80s early 90s and current prices are through the roof. But in a town that lacks winning teams, bandwagon jumpers are willing to pay these prices...

    And I'll be there on March 4th vs the Lightning.

    we sent him a cosmo

    pens scored and he sent us a blow job shot. i drank the liquor and sent back the whip cream with a note that he can have my snowball

    That's what happens when you are best team over the past few years not to win the Stanley Cup.

    we all have our lot in life...and apparently yours is jamming a large metal rod through the carcass of dead medium sized animals and roasting them over a pit. Could be worse :D
