The Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins renew their rivalry at 3 p.m. The two teams got a little spicy with each other on Twitter.
Inspired by the dating app Hinge, the Capitals published a fake profile of the Penguins and it just degenerated from there.
For the sake of description, Urban Dictionary describes ‘down bad’, the phrase used by the capitals, such as when someone is ‘depressingly horny’. They did not play in a week. Makes sense to me! Here’s how the Penguins reacted.
Until 3pm, but we can not promise it will be a good date … And fries on salads, always.

You’re coming to our house, it’s our spoilage. We are Penguins, not wild animals.

The tweets come after the NHL released an ad promoting the game with anger-y moments from the rivalry.
