I'm with you, JtS... The Penguins are the team that Caps fans hate the most because of exactly that... The rivalry has been one sided... It's almost like watchin' Lucy pull the football away from Charlie Brown... You hate it for Charlie Brown and it really stinks/sucks to watch the Penquins do it to the Caps year in and year out...

But then again I'm a D.C. sports fan so I have become somewhat desensitized to rooting for lousy and/or snake bit teams... I mean, the football team went 6-10 this season and we thought, "Hey, that's better than last year"... D.C. sports have been in a funk forever...

But maybe, just maybe, one of them will break the curse and we'll have respectable teams like most every other city... Detroit being an exception...
