So, on the way home from catching The Watchmen (verdict: read the book), we stopped by a previously-sworn-off bar because beer and chips seemed like the sensible thing to do at 10p. It’s a sports bar, with lots of hockey (apparently in playoffs?) on the screens. After some time, it became clear that the majority of the screens (and all of the sound) were tuned to the Pittsburgh-Philadelphia game. A 3-0 game, which – as I understand it – is something of a blowout in hockey. And on another, smaller, screen – the DC team (Capitals) v. someone else I can’t recall, 3-3. DC teams – can’t even get love in their own city. The icing? We were five floors below the Capitals actual home/practice rink.

Philly fans are much more dedicated to their teams. Of course, Philly doesn’t have much else going for it.
