Just like you, I felt lousy about getting knocked out of the playoffs by Ovie and the Caps, but Dan Steinberg, who does the D.C. Sports Blog, paints a pretty clear picture of what it's like to be a long-suffering sports fan in D.C. where NONE of the sports franchises have made it to the final four in 20 years...(He calls it the stupidest streak in sports) until now. And how they know the rest of the country will make fun of them for celebrating a semi-final victory...but they don't care...here's his blog--it's was actually written the day of game 6, but still holds up nicely https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2018/05/07/the-caps-could-end-the-stupidest-streak-in-sports-heck-yeah-it-matters/?utm_term=.cdbb85921e90
