The Washington Capitals have been known for memorable quotes over the years. I won’t give too much away but we all have a favorite one.
These were quotes that would make you want to run through a wall whether you’re a player or a fan. Some of these quotes led the Capitals to a Stanley Cup. Others became a rallying cry. Others simply got them fired up for a game.
No matter what style, or what context, or when they said it, we’ll look at the five best ones that helped define the Caps.
#5 Bruce Boudreau – “Now, I think we’re ready. I’ve looked at everybody’s faces, looked in your eyes, I think we’re ready to play here.”
This was what Bruce Boudreau said right before the Caps took on the Pittsburgh Penguins in their prelude to the Winter Classic. It occurred right before Christmas of that holiday season at Verizon Center before the team’s met on New Years Day at Heinz Field.
Boudreau said this to his team right before they took the ice and it was captured on the HBO cameras in their 24/7 Road to the Winter Classic documentary.
It was honestly an awesome time to be a Caps fan.
