Caps fan wants apology

Written by TPB Staff

No, not from her favorite team for last season's playoffs.
 
She wants an apology from Max Talbot.
 
Over at the Washington Capitals message boards, a person used the credible name of "beergirl-1" to post a recent "fight" they had with the NHL, wherein there was a love triangle of e-mails between herself, the NHL, and Ted Leonsis.

You simply have to head over and read the full e-mail chain.
There's too much to post here.  Plus it's pretty hilarious.
 
Basically, the Caps fan is whining that Max Talbot should be fined or suspended for calling Ovechkin a douche.

Who are we kidding?  Anyone in their 20s wearing a "Female Streaking Encouraged" shirt is, by definition, a douche.

Here are some awesome tidbits from the e-mail exchange:
 
"I'm sure if Alex Semin would have said "I met Sidney Crosby at a party and he was a real D-bag" he would have been fined and suspended in a heartbeat."  -- beergirl-1 in an e-mail to Texas Ted.
 
Texas forwarded the e-mail to the NHL.  The NHL replied to beergirl-1.
And she came right back with guns blazing.
 
"Can't wait to see what pops out of his mouth next, although I may have to censor the comments with my family because I don't need my children asking what a 'D-bag' is again."  -- beergirl-1 in e-mail to NHL.
 
A.) Talbot never said douchebag.  He said "douche."  Argument is flawed from the get-go.
B.) If you're a Caps fan and your children are listening to The X, you have failed as a parent.
 
"Has the league publically offered an apology to Mr. Ovechkin, Mr. Leonsis or the Capital fans? If you have, my apologies but I haven't seen anything. If you haven't then isn't that the same as condoning these actions?" --beergirl-1 to NHL.
 
What.
The rest of the e-mail consists of beergirl-1 typing stuff just to read it and feel good about herself.
