Getting crushed in that series was predictable but I'm still somewhat upset about it anyway and don't really want to talk about that.

Posting because I'm happy a caps community has finished out a season on lemmy with good discussions. I had wanted a lemmy caps community for years, but it seemed like their was no hope for that with how small the lemmy userbase was. One of you guys set up this community shortly after the reddit fiasco with third-party apps, I think I was actually a couple months late to realizing that, but we've had enough posts for me to consider this a successful start.

Like a month or two ago I checked out the other team comms and ours was by far the most active at the time, the only other one even close was the leafs. Has probably changed with playoffs starting, but I'm too lazy to look again.

It's been great chatting with you guys and hanging around. I plan to be back for preseason end of September, and I'll check periodically through the offseason too.

So yeah, this is a generic thank you post with no content. You guys rock.

Go caps.

Dude, we need shitposts for the summer. Don't go anywhere.

And what about Oshie and Nicky probably retiring? Sad, but we have to cover that news. And I would like to hear what's bothering Ovi - it might just be age and fatigue, but I also wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of injury.

Plus the Bears are primed for a decent run to the Calder Cup again!

I've shut down the game day bot for now. We'll resurrect him for the preseason. There actually wasn't much conversation in the game threads recently - it was mostly @[email protected] and I chatting. :( But we'll keep it going, these things take time to build momentum.

Two people talking about the games is how it starts. I'm in a Discord server that was basically just two people chatting for years before it took off. Now it's 1,800 people with around 50 that interact daily. That have meetups a few times a year too.
