DChino feels like it is our duty to point out some of the hard work and dedication some Capitals nerdy fans displayed this weekend as the hundred or so red Darkons invaded Raleigh for Saturday's loss to the Hurricanes. Who says D.C. fans don't travel? The trip was organized by the Caps Fan Club (please look at
the website to learn more about them ha!) , and these being Caps fans, there was at least one Crosby Sucks jersey, approx 34 mohawks, 20 pocket protectors, about 45 capes, and a positive count of 228 goatees and shaved bald heads. One was even clever enough to fashion some sort of helmet device.
Also showing up for the pre-game tailgate: Slapshot, Joe Beninati, Steve Kolbe and Brett Leonhardt. The latter, as usual, signing autographs. 
The trip was organized with the support of a 'Canes Booster Club, and the seething subplot included a possible playoff meeting between the two squads, when perhaps they'd be less likely to break bread together. But after so many dang stories about Pittsburghers in D.C., and all the people who hate and are hated by Caps fans, this was just a nice sunny day in Raleigh.
