In what looks to be another example of irrational exuberance<\/em> regarding Washington, The Hockey News<\/em> is picking the Capitals to face the The Mighty Ducks of<\/strike> Anaheim Ducks for the Stanley Cup final.<\/p>\n

Got @thehockeynews<\/a> yearbook in the mail. THN is predicting a Boudreau Bowl Stanley Cup: #NHLDucks<\/a> vs #Caps<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/684L5b9e0k<\/a><\/p>\n

Movie Fifty Shades Darker (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n

Being the prohibitive favorite has been just great<\/em> for the Nationals (who are a lock<\/strong> for second place) this year and in 2013<\/a>; lousy, stupid Sports Illustrated<\/em>. Now another national, err international pub is playing this game.<\/p>\n

The Bruce Boudreau Bowl would make an interesting storyline in at least a couple of cities like ours and Anaheim, I guess. I just don’t see the Caps being a conference champion and expect the traditional second-round exit, sight unseen. At least they Caps weren’t picked to win the Cup.<\/p>\n

But maybe this cover jinx will be on D.C.’s opponents, so ha ha Mighty Ducks<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Also, it’s too early for this but like Oktoberfest and Pumpkin beers, seasonal creep is real.<\/p>\n

That being said, I’d much rather think about the Caps than the burgundy and gold… Woof, that’s going to be a rough season.<\/p>\n

Oh and since the diaspora is likely to chime in, I’ll link to the “Dave Steckel, destroyer of worlds<\/a>” article about the Pittsburgh Penguins that ran in the Tribune-Review<\/em> (Greensburg).<\/p>\n

Also, Washingtonians, let’s talk about some Saturday afternoon broomball sometime.<\/p>\n
