In the Washington DC Metropolitan area, we are lucky to have an abundance of sports teams to root for...if we choose to. While there is no doubt the Redskins are and probably always will be top dog around here, the Capitals have done something no other team has been able to...make us want to watch.
I have been part of a plan that owned season tickets to the Caps, but I have never been a big fan of the team. Not to the extent that I have to go to games or have to watch the games. That changed in recent weeks. Call me a fair-weather fan or a band-wagoner, but you can not deny that if you were not a fan, it's a good time to start being one.
It has now been reported by the Washington Post's Dan Steinberg via Twitter that the Caps set another new ratings record, regular season or playoff, on Comcast SportsNet. A rating of 5.8. This comes after setting the record last Friday in Snowmaggedon, Episode I, versus the Atlanta Hawks.
Sure, it was bad to end the win streak at 14 against the Montreal Canadiens last night. Some will argue the record ratings were set because of Snowmaggedon, Episode II, Canada's Revenge. But snowed in with cabin fever, in the age of DVR's, people will seek the best source of entertainment. That would be those Can't Quit Kids named the Washington Capitals.
