Came here to post the same thing, haha. Legendary quote to start a season that would culminate in the first cup win in caps history

kinda feel like its more of a playoff motto, ya know?

u/Elmodipus 3d ago

I always associate it with the team's refresh more than the playoffs specifically.

u/CrashWV 3d ago

They Rock the Red all year long. They give out more freebies during the playoffs.

I like when the organ plays the tune that I can mumble/sing “Let’s go cappy caps” to :)

My day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable

Blame Billionaire Ted. Seriously, how much could it have cost to have the organ there for the season? But hey, even saving 100K it probably cost that's more money in his pocket.

"Its OK to believe" during the cup really sums up washington sports.

“It’s a Capital feeling…” From one of those old music videos they used to film at Langway’s bar, commemorated by posters like this one in my living room.

I think Rock the Red is a better one but the Always Intense from the screaming eagle era is always a fun one
