Lyrics

The Capitals are choking dogs
The Capitals are choking dogs
Take your winning record and put your helmets on

(Wilson, Alzner, Carlson) The Capitals are choking dogs
(Ovechkin, Chimera, Oshie) Playoff countdown, skates are on
(Backstrom, Beagle, Orlov, Orpik) Check on Holtby, may your penalties be few.
(Kuznetsov...)

This is Washington to Barry Trotz
Your team has wet the bed
And the paper wants you to know your fans are scared
Is it time to trade the Captain, if you dare?

This is Washington to Barry Trotz
We cannot take no more
And we're losing in a most familiar way
And the Cup looks very distant today
From here, as it has for such a long time
Far from Washington

The District rocks the red
But the Caps, they wet the bed

    Every year, even though I'm not a big hockey guy, I love then CAPS jingles. Always the same theme.

    Nice Shane. Our season is over but at least we can still pick on the Caps. Now let's talk about Wentz.
