A great, big tailgate party followed by a not so great game

Washington Capitals at Carolina Hurricanes
November 12, 2016 | PNC Arena | Raleigh, North Carolina
Bus Trip

Our first trip of the season found us returning to Raleigh for a Saturday evening tilt against the Hurricanes. Two buses of Roadies joined some local Caps fans, and some more who made their trek separately, for an epic tailgate with a German menu. After many sausages were cooked and many pretzels were dipped, we headed into the PNC Arena for some live hockey. Despite the Caps losing 5-1, we have fond memories of our trip!

An afternoon affair at Wells Fargo

Washington Capitals at Philadelphia Flyers
March 18, 2018 | Wells Fargo Center | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Bus Trip

We hadn’t traveled to the City of Brotherly Shove in two years so it was nice to have the opportunity to visit the home of the Caps longtime rival, the Flyers! Wells Fargo Center looked a little different than we remembered, yet was still the same barn we’d been coming to for more than a decade and a half. The orange and black clad faithful were treated to a strong 6-3 win by the home team.

Sin City hosts the Crew in their inaugural season

Washington Capitals at Vegas Golden Knights
December 23, 2017 | T-Mobile Arena | Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas is filled to the brim with distractions, but it’s the last place anyone expected to find an NHL franchise. The city, which has been starved for a professional sports team, has fully embraced the Golden Knights.

The Caps’ first visit to the Entertainment Capital of the World was a unique experience for the Crew. We visited a Knights practice to let Nate Schmidt know we miss him, we gathered for a viewing party to watch the Caps take on the Coyotes, and our happy hour meet up before the Golden Knights game monopolized a local watering hole.

We’ve compiled our experiences into separate photo sections due to the sheer volume of pictures we received from our Roadies. Click on a title below to visit the gallery for each section.

Heading back to the 'Burgh!

Washington Capitals at Pittsburgh Penguins
March 7, 2020 | PPG Paints Arena | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Bus Trip

Our first trip to Pittsburgh since 2011 was one for the books! An early start made getting to the Steel Town easy as traffic was light and the travel was swift. Our Roadies were treated to some surprising hospitality as the PPG Paints Arena faithful were welcoming and friendly. The game was too, as the Caps took a 3-goal lead in the 1st period, and a 4th goal in the first minute of the 3rd on a beautiful short-handed play. The Pens staged a comeback scoring two in a row, but Holtby shut the door after that, allowing the Caps to finish off the home team with another goal later in the period. We left Pittsburgh victorious with a 5-2 final score.
