The title says it all! Our Washington Capitals have captured Lord Stanley's Cup!
This episode airs in two parts. In Part One, Anna and I briefly recap the ridiculously exciting Game 5 Cup clinching efforts. We also go our separate ways in celebrating the Caps' historic win. One of us got to drink quite a lot of beer, the other listened to a lot of inappropriate music and came away with a bit of a sunburn. But both of us were overjoyed.
In Part Two, we are joined on an Uberconference call in segment by none other than the awesome Christian Levesque from the True Caps Fans Facebook group. He provides some sage perspective on how the Caps finally made it to the top as well as the meaning of the win for all of us fans.
My apologies for the lateness of this episode, this playoffs run has been both exhilarating and exhausting for both our Caps and we the fans and Anna and I certainly aren't exempt from that.

Our Washington Capitals are just ONE win away from achieving what many called the impossible dream--a Stanley Cup victory!
Along with our very special guest, Robbie Gross from the Sports on the Hill Podcast, Anna and I recap games 3 and 4 in the Final series. Among other topics we discuss the secrets of success so far for the Caps.
Robbie also provides some much needed clarity with regard to the viewing party admission situation.
NOTE: We were also supposed to have Christian Levesque from True Caps Fans on the show as well but he could not attend due to an unforseen emergency.

Anna and I bust out this Special Edition of the Triple P to provide coverage of the Caps in their second Stanley Cup Final appearance ever. And evcerybody is making the most of it.
We have a surprise Special Guest drop in us adding his most excellent analysis and information. I'll give you one hint--his name rhymes with Gurney Wheel.
Topics of discussion--The Save (how can you NOT mention it?) and an unlikely (Game Winning) goal scorer.
We also take time to address listener correspondences including one detailed question about the suspension process.
Not unlike Our Washington Capitals, we had our share of adversity during the recording (thank you so damn much Skype) but also like our Caps we have persevered to bring you what we hope is a very entertaining and informative survival guide in the form of a fan podcast. We humbly thank all our loyal listeners for sticking by us and our team.

It is on to Las Vegas. Sin City. America's Playground. However you call it, it is where the 2018 Stanley Cup Final will be played. And our Washington Capitals will BE THERE!!
Anna and I moment to reflect on how and especially what the Caps won this past round---the Prince of Wales Trophy. SPOILER ALERT---there will be a history lesson. But then it wouldn't be the triple P without one.
Other topics of discussion--Is it Final or Final(s)? Is Vegas a 'deserving team"?
We also take some listener questions about the upcoming series. And we make one final plea to our fellow Caps fans to keep up the energy and intensity up and not let up until that glorious silver chalice is in Captain Alex Ovechkin's hands.

Fellow fans Our Washington Capitals have forced a seventh and deciding game in the 2018 NHL Eastern Conference Final. They are very much ALIVE!
Anna and I discuss how the Caps' reinvigorated attitude, and the backing of fans like you, helped the team right the ship and storm back in this series. They now stand one win away from playing for Lord Stanley's Cup, hockey's Holy Grail.
We also talk about how the....excitement...of NHL playoff hockey can affect the minds of its fans and their everyday behavior. Including when to schedule lawn care (for you Doug Loosararian!). Superstition may not be the way, unless you believe in the Washington Capitals.
Let us all band together loyal listeners and continue to support our favorite team on this wild ride!

Welcome to NHL playoff nirvana, my fellow Caps fans!
Yes the deed is done, and it is time to celebrate....or is it? We Capitals fans can enjoy finally beating the Penguins but only for so long. Keep in mind that two more series must be won to achieve hockey immortality.
Anna and I go over, from our own perspectives, how it was done and especially what it means to we the Washington Capitals fans. Enjoy!

We are in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Capitals surging past Columbus only to face an all too familiar foe. So far the series is even at one apiece.
Anna and I, in our own entertaining way, go over these first two games and try to keep up the positivity we Caps fans will need for the rest of this round. And also some good things happening ON the ice as well.
Keep your favorite beverage handy and enjoy!

Our Washington Capitals are on the comeback trail. Can they take the series tonight? We shall see. But the recent mass silence in the last home game is giving us extreme pause. So much so that I felt the need to appeal to ALL CAPS fans everywhere. Please listen and take it to heart.
