Please tell me that was the real you last night, the you that can actually compete with the NBA’s better half (and for more than just the first quarter, please!). Don’t make this some beautiful but fleeting one-night stand, designed merely to get my hopes up. Look, I’ve basically given up on the Capitals, and both Fargo and Archer are getting so silly these days I barely have anything to watch on TV anymore. Stay in it for my sake, Washington, will you, please?

Sometimes you want winter to last just a little bit longer.
