My run in With a Capitals Fan

I was in Washington Dc over the weekend. Unfortunately I didn’t have tickets to the game I was just going to see the sights of DC like the White house and Capital. I stopped at a Starbucks between Pittsburgh and Washington on the way down. Waiting inline for the bathroom and the guy behinde me had a Capitals t-shirt on. I said did you go to the Capitals game last night he asked me if I did I said no I wish I was. I mentioned that I went to to Toronto for games the hockey capital of the world I did mention that it was good to see some passion in the American markets like Dc. That is when everything blew up. After I said hockey Capital of the world he said that is what Toronto thinks in a real cocky manner. All of a sudden Washington DC the home of the White house and Capital hill has become bigger than a city that kids grow up with sticks in there hands. I should have asked have you ever been to Canada I’m sure not. I started with how much the Leafs where worth. I mentioned the wall to wall hockey talk in on Radio and tv in Canada. I turned on the radio going to DC and only during sports breaks did anybody talk about the Caps at all. I think this guy was more interested for the beer than the game. DC is a great city the people are great the city is clean everybody wheres suites so you have no Idea who they are cheering for. This is a politics town not a hockey town. They would have to change the entire cites culture if Hockey was going to be king. After all this the guy just could just go back on how the Caps are a better team. If the Caps where losing would they sell out?
