#1 Caps fans are simply awesome

The number one reason the Caps landed on FanSided 250 and ranked as high as they did in the NHL is simply that Caps fans are the best in hockey. Period.

We have honestly been through a lot. We tried things in the past that didn’t work. We suffered some dark days and even darker playoff exits once we tasted regular season success. All the pain though and the support through thick and thin made it all the more rewarding when the team finally won the Stanley Cup in 2018.

One of my favorite parts about attending a Caps game when they’re down or when the game is tied is when the whole arena comes together to shout “Unleash the Fury”. There was one occasion where I was at a game and the Caps were down by two. Once fury was unleashed the Caps came back and scored three unanswered goals. Hearing that from the bench can give you a spark.

It’s disappointing that there won’t be fans to begin the season but the team made the right call as we all have to continue to stay in to stop the spread. Hopefully down the line later in the season fans will once again be allowed back inside Capital One Arena. We all can’t wait for that day.
