After the heartbreaking cancellation of our March 2020 visit, we were delighted to have the opportunity to take in a NYE game at Little Caesars. The enduring pandemic kept the group small but the long holiday weekend allowed for a fun visit to Motor City. We had a blast at Harry’s before the game and Roadies had plenty of time to explore the area before doors opened. The Caps had a great night scoring three straight after Detroit opened the scoring in the second period. Two by Ovechkin in the third brought home the 3-1 win and sent the Roadies off to celebrate more than just New Year’s Eve.

A rare afternoon game in Raleigh provided the opportunity for our first brunch tailgate with the Caniacs. Roadies enjoyed a spread like only the Road Crew can lay out and then was treated to an exciting game. After a slow start, the Caps came out strong in the second to put up a two-goal lead. The Canes came back in the third period to tie it up giving Orlov the opportunity to play hero by potting a late goal to break the tie. With an empty netter by Carlson, our boys came out on top, 4-3.

Another bus trip to Raleigh! But this time we brought backup- Simon’s Soldiers!!! 45 members of the Crew played hookie from work on Friday, March 30 to hit the road for the Simon’s Soldiers night, Part 2. A DC-101 promotion brought 5 buses full of Caps fans to help us cheer on the boys. We truly brought the house down before and during warm-ups with rousing chants of “Whose House? Our House!” and “C-A-P-S, CAPS CAPS CAPS!” A great trip was blemished at the end of the game when very poor officiating in OT cost the Caps the game and our chance to clinch the division title in their building. But the Crew headed home with a point in the standings and the division title at hand…

Mark Messier scored a short-handed goal about six minutes into the game, but Calle Johansson responded with a power play marker of his own less than a minute later. That would be the end of the tie, as New York brought it to the Caps with three goals more in the 1st. Two Caps tallies bookended another Rangers goal in the 2nd, and a final NY score in the 3rd put a coda on the 6-3 home win for the Blueshirts.

The Caps Road Crew’s second trip to Carolina proved to be its greatest trip yet… On February 24, forty die hard Road Crewers hopped on the bus and headed to Raleigh to raise Cain and help the Caps beat the ‘Canes! With a quick stop at what is surely Raleigh’s only ice skating, er, hockey store, the Crew was off to the the Raleigh Entertainment & Sports Arena. After nearly bringing the roof down before and during the warmups, the Crew headed upstairs and joined the Caps Fan Club in taking over vocal control of the arena and spurring on the Caps to a hard fought 2-1 victory on Andrei Nikolishin’s 3rd period game winner!

Photos from the Caps Road Crew trip to Western Canada… Stop #2- Vancouver, B.C.! The trek continues to the Pacific. An early flight from Calgary to Vancouver gives the Crew a little time to rest before the night’s activities. An unbelievable 4-3 O.T. victory with Adam Oates netting the game winner RIGHT in front of us! But the fun was only about to begin…a visit to the ritzy Shark Club (not remotely like the ones here) provided some nice photo opportunities as we ran into a bunch of familiar faces – THE CAPS! A late night was followed by a relaxing day of sight-seeing in beautiful Vancouver the next day.
