1st Round NHL Draft Winners 🏆

Capitals and Capulets, Rangers and Romeos

Martin AveryApr 20, 2009

Two hockey teams, quite unalike in dignity,
In fair New York City, where we lay our scene,
From recent grudge break to new mutiny,
Where Rangers blood makes Capitals hands unclean.

AVERY
Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them;
which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it.

Enter OVECHKIN

OVECHKIN
Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?

AVERY
I do bite my thumb, sir.

OVECHKIN
Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?

AVERY
[Aside to ORR] Is the law of our side, if I say ay?

ORR
No.

AVERY
No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir.

ORR
Do you quarrel, sir?

OVECHKIN
Quarrel sir! no, sir.

AVERY
If you do, sir, I am for you: I serve as good a man as you.

OVECHKIN
No better.

AVERY
Well, sir.

ORR
Say 'better:' here comes one of my master's kinsmen.

AVERY
Yes, better, sir.

OVECHKIN
You lie.

AVERY
Draw, if you be men. ORR, remember thy swashing blow.
(They fight.)

That's my prediction for Game 3 in the First Round NHL Playoff Series between the New York Rangers and the Washington Capulets.
