Im not saying no, but then again there isn't a guarantee either.... I ABSOLUTELY hate bandwagoners, I hate when I support my penguins when I can get tickets, and all I see are Crosby jerseys in front and in back of me (not that im saying I dont like the guy, but he's a bandwagoner poster boy) I always wear my luckey Lemieux jersey to any hockey game I go to, I recentley attended a Caps game in DC, and I gotta say, if it happens, you're gonna need a bigger rink
When people's teams get eliminated, the natural inclination is to cheer for another team, so the farther a team goes in the playoffs the farther they get, and I liked the Caps this year, so if the win the cup, I won't be a bandwagon fan :D
It's difficult to figure this problem out, because for this scenario to happen, the reality we live in would have to subtly shift into a reality where the Caps are more than a one-line team built only for regular season success. It's difficult to know what ripple effects this change to the Washington Capitals could have on the rest of the universe (a butterfly flaps its wings in China, and all that). Is the population of the D.C. metro area the same? Would we be in a world where the NHL could get a good TV contract in the States? Has Ovechkin even been unfrozen in this timeline, or is he still in that block of ice waiting to be thawed out by anthropologists at the University of Moscow? The answers to these questions are sadly unknowable, making the answer to your question impossible to fully quantify.
umm i have always lobed the caps, ive been with them for since i was 6 and now im 17
there all at the penguins and the blackhawks, thats why hockey sucks, too many people hopping on a hot team,, the CAPS if they dont choke should be able to win the cup, they have a really in depth farm system and a really solid core starting line up
