Venceremos- A Spanish expression meaning "We Shall Win !" or "We shall prevail !' would seem to be an odd one to apply to a Professional Sports Franchise located in the Greater Washington DC Area! Washington sports have been rather moribund and lack luster for a NUMBER of years.
A year ago, The Capitals seemed like an exciting, daring and ON PAPER a serious contender to win The Stanley Cup. We know the Capitals broke the hearts of their fans by losing a First Round series to the Montreal Canadiens. Perhaps, This is a bit of karma- We have their Former Baseball Team and The Capitals were certainly had by them a depressing year ago!
This year, The Capital spend most of this recently concluded regular season looking lost and frustrated and frustrating. The style of last year- when the way they scored made them look like a version of The Old San Diego Chargers or The Show Time Lakers- was drastically altered by their Coach , Bruce Boudreau. He asked them to crash the net more, go for second and third chance shots and drove them to play a more workmanlike, grittier and more consciously defensive style of hockey.
By the end of The Regular Season, The Caps were looking sharp and formidable once again! The Caps have looked strong so far, dispatching The Broadway Blueshirts- The New York Rangers- earlier today in FIVE! games.
In a town where The Redskins are ofter odious. where the Wizards are just beginning to be rebuilt and where the Nationals are still seasons away from being a possible contender, The Capitals are fun, exciting, compelling and charismatic!
So, Today, I'm willing to loudly and proudly declare- The Capitals- Venceremos!
