Just heard this: Hockey fans walks into a bar, tells the barkeep “I’d like an Ovechkin, please.” Barkeep says “What’s an Ovechkin?” Guy answers “It’s a White Russian, but without the ice or the cup”. Go Bruins. ---

The way I heard it, it just said without the cup. 😃 But it’s still a great joke, isn’t it? How does one say “asshat” in Russian, anyway? LET’S GO PENS!!! ---

A kindergarten teacher in Washington tells her class she’s a HUGE Capitals fan. She asks the class “Who else is a Capitals fan?” Every boy and girl raises their hand, except for a little boy named Jordan. The teacher says, “Jordan, you’re not a Capitals fan?” Jordan replies, “No, I’m a Penguins fan!” The teacher says “Well, why are you a Penguins fan?” Jordan says, “Well, my mom is a Penguins fan, and my dad is a Penguins fan, so I’m a Penguins fan.” Now the teacher’s getting a little upset. She says, in a huff, “Well, if your mom was an idiot, and your dad was a moron, then what would you be?” Jordan says, “Well, then I guess I’d be a Capitals fan!” You can use that joke and substitute whichever team you want to make fun of. ---

Wow, what a bitch of a teacher 😉 The only hockey jokes I can think of are the rather lame ones about the Leafs that everyone’s heard a million times, but I’m bored and so I’ll post them anyways! Why don’t the Leafs have their own website? Because they can’t string three W’s in a row Why can’t Hamilton have an NHL team? Because then Toronto would want one too How can you make sure your backyard says Leaf-free? Put the Stanley Cup in it ---

This list of how teams match up to [high school students](http://www.hockeydrunk.com/hockey/if-the-nhl-was-a-high-school) is a few years old, but still funny. ---

What do the Capitals have in common with the _Titanic_? They both look great until they hit the ice (Originally I saw it on a banner about the Flyers, but I figured it would work with the Caps too) ---

I hear Toronto’s fired Ron Wilson and hired a new Korean coach. Name of Win Won Soon
