A Rainy Day Open Thread for the Eliminated Caps

The rock rolled down the hill. With Nick Bonino’s overtime goal, the Washington Capitals season ended in a blink. Now we look ahead at a rainy summer and the prospect of starting over to try again next fall.

This is a free space for you to talk about whatever you want.

I’ll suggest some topics:

  • Does regular season success matter?
  • Does anything matter truly?
  • The future of Jason Chimera’s employment
  • What Marcus Johansson’s next contract will look like
  • All the fun articles currently being written by mainstream writers about Alex Ovechkin
  • Brooks Orpik’s triumphant return to the lineup
  • Braden Holtby is so very very good
  • The formerly perfect penalty kill’s untimely collapse
  • What the “TJ” in TJ Oshie stands for
  • Pat’s lucky moccasins: not so much after all
  • The blistering absence of objective meaning from sports and existence and the only proper response being a happy revolt in ultimate reality

Have at it.

I wish you all an invincible summer, inside and out. Albert Camus believed that, no matter how hard the world pushes, that there was something stronger and better inside himself that pushed back. I hope the same for us all and our chosen hockey team.
