That Caps tweet about 85% off merchandise seems to be going well (not really)
The Washington Capitals sent a tweet at 1pm today telling people to “Stop by the Verizon Center Team Store today. A large selection of merchandise is 85% off!” The responses they’ve received back so far on Twitter are right in line with what you might expect during an NHL lockout that has many fans frustrated, as they go without hockey while waiting for the owners and players to sign a new collective bargaining agreement.

This morning, we asked Caps fans on Twitter, “what is one thing the team must do differently in Game 2?” Here’s some of what we got back:
@brookslaichyear play like game 7 every game from here on out until we win the cup

@brookslaichyear Get more pucks to the net, try to force some bad rebounds by Lundqvist, put a bit more pressure on him.

@brookslaichyear Use armor-piercing pucks to defeat the posts.

@brookslaichyear Holtby needs to stay focused, even if a lot of pucks don’t come his way!

@brookslaichyear don’t let rangers get rebounds. Shoot more. Organize the defense. Zero turnovers. #UnleashTheFury

Here’s one from my brother and fellow BrooksLaichyear blogger…
@brookslaichyear How about F’s need to support D when D gets beaten down low instead of standing 2 feet away and watching. (coughovechkin)

And there’s the obvious one I’d expect we might get…
@nphewitt @brookslaichyear I was going to say win, but I like the way you put it better.

…but then some more detail…
@brookslaichyear Screen The King, get dirty. Defense has been good, control the puck offensively to limit chances against.

Thanks to everyone who responded.
