The thing is, if you follow a team like the Caps, sooner or later you get so worn down it's hard to keep the faith, especially when you've been battered by a year where it seemed for too much of it like the team wasn't even trying. I don't know if I ever really believed the Caps would win this series. Intellectually, I knew it was perfectly possible, but I just didn't believe it would happen that way.
I haven't been able to watch the Caps live for more than a couple of minutes at a time for a while, and I haven't watched any of the last round live. I was pretty placid this evening, following on Twitter & Tumblr while focusing on other things. Then I saw the reaction to the winner on tumblr and pretty much screamed; my mom came in asking if something was wrong. I've watched the highlights and seen the reactions, and I'm still not sure I believe it.
It would've been enough had anyone scored it. But that the tea party goalie got showed up by the black player is very satisfying(well, Ward supposed to step up the playoffs; that's definitely one way to do it), and then Mike Knuble gets the assist. This is worth the entire agony of this entire season.
Let things go as they will in the next round. I am content.
