Truthfully, although I love hockey, I've never allowed myself to bond with the Capitals. I have enough personal pain over one DC obsession with adding to the agony. But I wish them well.
Hence the reason I cheer for the Stars. They are the only Dallas team I like and cheer for but since I didn't get into Hockey in way, shape or form before moving here (I still don't get into it, really), I figured why not cheer for the guys in my town. Didn't hurt that several of my friends are Stars fans or that they were seriously good when I moved in.
Still wish the Caps well though. Especially since the Stars are sitting at home this post season.
