Hi, my name is Ian Oland. I’m driving this here Capitals bandwagon. Over the last month, we’ve traveled all over the continent, picking up many new friends. In fact, there are so many strangers here, we’ve had to put on name-tags and start force-feeding IVs to our exhausted oxen via beer guzzlers. But we must carry on.

Our first new member is someone we’ve known a while. Over the last five decades, he’s walked near the bandwagon and sometimes he’s even come up and whimsically touched the side. But this year he finally jumped on.

Please Welcome the Los Angeles Kings, Wil Wheaton, and NASCAR Driver Ryan Ellis to the Caps Bandwagon

Hi, my name is Ian Oland. I’m driving the Capitals bandwagon. Over the last few weeks, we’ve traveled all over North America, picking up many new friends. Now that our favorite team has vanquished their mighty, bracelet-throwing foes from Philadelphia, even more people want to jump aboard this here wagon.

First, we’re going to give our oxen some spinach so we can make a cross-country gallop to California to pick up the entire Los Angeles Kings organization.

Please Welcome Detective Elliot Stabler to the Caps Bandwagon

Hi, my name is Ian Oland. I’m driving this here Capitals bandwagon. Over the last few weeks, we’ve travelled all over North America, picking up many new friends. It’s been quiet lately, but with our boys owning a commanding 3-1 lead over rival Philadelphia, it’s time to whip the oxen and get back on Lord Stanley’s trail.

Tonight, we’re traveling to an undisclosed location to pick up former Law & Order: SVU star Christopher Meloni. Ah, Detective Stabler.

Please Welcome Mike Milbury, Keith Jones, Keith Olbermann, and The Karate Kid to the Capitals Bandwagon

Hi, my name is Ian Oland. I’m driving this here Capitals bandwagon. This week, we’ve travelled all over North America. We’ve had great success picking up many new friends, but I must admit my patience is wearing thin. Trebek keeps drinking liquor and challenging everyone to a shirtless bare-knuckle brawl. One of the oxen has died and several of our hockey oddsmakers have typhoid fever.

But no matter. As we press forward on Lord Stanley’s trail, we are scheduled to pick up four fine gentlemen on this here Capitals game day. First are the notorious rabble rousers from the NBCSN channel: Mr. Mike Milbury and Mr. Keith Jones.

Please Welcome Alan Thicke, Star of Growing Pains, to the Caps Bandwagon

Hi, I’m Ian Oland. I’m the driver of this here Caps bandwagon. The horses are getting tired, as they’ve galloped a long way this week, but we’ve got several more fine humans we need to pick up.

First, and most important of all, we’ve got to go pick up actor Alan Thicke, star of the 80s sitcom Growing Pains. Mr. Seaver filled out one of them fancy NHL.com brackets and he picked our very favorite hockey team to dispose of the Los Angeles Kings in the Stanley Cup Finals. He dedicated his bracket to Ed Snider. Then picked the Capitals to roll through the Flyers in the first round. That’s a man who has much salt in his mouth.

Please Welcome HOF Defenseman Scott Stevens and Analysts Elliotte Friedman and Nick Kypreos to the Caps Bandwagon

Hi, I’m Ian Oland. I’m the chauffeur and horse-musher of this very fine Caps bandwagon. I spent all afternoon with my hammer and nails, extending out the cab a few more feet. I heard a few more people would be joining us tonight.

First, we must travel to Secaucus, New Jersey, to pick up former Capital, 2007 Hall of Fame defenseman, and three-time Stanley Cup champion Scott Stevens. The former Conn Smythe Trophy winner currently works for NHL Network as an analyst. He filled out his playoff bracket and picked our Caps to beat the Kings in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Hi, my name is Ian Oland. I’m your driver of the Washington Capitals bandwago…

[Gets tapped on shoulder. “Oh, what’s that? You have something to say?”]

Lemme pass the microphone to two-time Peabody award-winner and former HTS Caps commentator Larry King. King, who has been riding in the very back and only promotes his team when it’s convenient for him, has something he’d like to say.
