Mike Wilbon Calls Ovechkin Pathetic, Tony Dubs Caps "Choking Dogs"

Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon talked about Alexander Ovechkin on Tuesday following the Caps game 7 loss to the New York Rangers.  They discussed how Ovechkin was complaining about no penalties in game 6 and Ovi's conspiracy theory.  Here is what Wilbon had to say:

"I was in Chicago in the United Center watching Bulls/Miami last night and I get a tweet with the score, a picture of the scoreboard when it was 3 nothing, and I'm like Ok, the Washington Capitals have choked like few other NHL franchises have choked over a period of 30 years, But I don't even believe this, this photo is doctored, I couldn't believe that. When you go out like this, you have to SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!"

Impromptu Go-Go Dance Party Breaks Out On F Street After Caps Defeat Rangers

On Friday night at Verizon Center, after the Washington Capitals defeated the New York Rangers with an exciting overtime goal, a big thunderstorm broke out just as the huge crowd was exiting the Verizon Center.  That didn't stop the over-excited crowd from expressing their joy after witnessing an amazing and important victory.

A large group of fans gathered around a street performing band and a huge dance party broke out.  While many people (and the band) were packed under a small corner overhang, several were just dancing in the rain, soaking wet.  It was fun and a really cool scene.

At one point a father puts his tiny daughter on his shoulders and the crowd begins to dance with them as the little girl bounces like crazy as she holds up a "World's Biggest Caps Fan" sign.  You can see what you missed in the video below.
