During Game Four, Washington Capitals fans started to get a little, uh, confident. There were lots of “we want the Cup” chants as the clock wound down. After years of underachieving Caps teams, one can understand the enthusiasm after three straight wins.
And you can call me paranoid or superstitious, it’s fine. But last year, my local USHL team (shout-out to the Chicago Steel) was clinging to a one-goal lead and about three minutes away from winning the Clark Cup on home ice. The crowd started a “we want the Cup” chant.
Reader, you’ll never guess what happened next.
