Congrats to the site owners, and it's been fun using the tools here.

Been coming here since the days of CapGeek. This is a sad day.

Thanks Washington for destroying the best ease-of-access resource for the sport.

Sad day for me too.

It has been my favourite forum ever.

I wonder where I'll go now...

It's almost certain something like this will show up in the coming months, thankfully.
Regardless, f*** the Caps. Simply unnecessarily hostile business practices for little advantage to themselves.

Honestly, it;d be great if it was just the forums. Some people here need to see the sun

This is really dissapointing, I browse CapFriendly daily for new signings, waivers, trades etc and to get updates around the league. It seems like a huge step backwards for the league.

This is horrible for fans of the sport. I'm genuinely shocked this was allowed by the NHL.

This is horrible business from the caps and I expect a new site to be in the works by someone already.

Thank you to everyone here who made this site what it is today and I hope this isn't the end

If true, I suppose puckpedia's going to get a lot more traffic.

Payed more attention to this website than my classes during high school, good times. I’ll miss this site, and I’ll root against the capitals every game they play.

Same here, it was my most visited site

I spent too much time on here anyway.

But why? Washington Capitals don’t keep track of salaries themselves so they buy a website?

It just kind of reveals how primitive some front offices are.

Thanks alot capitals ya dicks

Congrats to the website devs on getting a check. Sold all of us out in the process and lost us this website though so... congrats I guess

Really gonna miss the interactive parts and forums but I guess we can't have nice things. Screw the Caps too like you need to buy a website to fix your backwards front office come on

sharing my twitter here if anyone wants to devils my ass over there: https://twitter.com/LucidLeprechaun

damn capitals moving up my hate list near to the top. RIP the site

Lurked for a long time before finally creating an account and posting here. Gonna be sad to see this site go.

This sucks. While I’m now gonna focus a lot more in school, this is a really fun site and an underrated community of people. Really had a lot of fun over the past 2 years with so many awesome fans. Gonna miss y’all

Been here for 8 years. Gutted. **** Ted Leonsis. Swear to god this man makes it hard to root for the team I love and grew up loving.

PuckPedia gonna get a lot of new users if they add a ACGM board.

This site provided so much value to fans... wtf was Washington doing to manage their cap before seriously? Explains why NHL teams make such terrible moves sometimes, apparently armchair GM's had better resources!

I don't blame the site owners. Take the money and run. You guys built a masterpiece and deserve to get paid for your hard work.

The entire Capitals organization can go to hell.

Certainly the I understand the owners, taking a big payday

But don't really know what's in for the Capitals, by keeping the CF information private, as the other 31 teams really have the same info.

As you can tell my 60,000 posts, I enjoyed conversing with my CF pals. 99% of the people on this site were honest in their opinions which led to information sharing and good banter. Thanks to my CF pals for thoughtful posts and almost always good natured fun.

This!

Really disappointed to hear this news. This is going to be an unpopular opinion but from the capital’s perspective this is a very shrewd business move. And to the owners of the site, they’re probably cashing out big time. It just really sucks that the fans have to suffer as a result.

I’ll especially miss interacting with all the wonderful people on this site. Not going to name users as I’d be here all day but there are so many fantastic people on here and it’ll suck not being able to chat with you all.
