District police are warning that traveling downtown tonight between 6p-11p could be a nightmare. At 7pm, game 7 of the Caps starts at the Verizon Center. Not only will there be the usual tie-ups associated with Caps games and other large VC events, but if they win I'd expect exuberant drunken fans to pour onto the surrounding streets in celebration. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but still... doesn't really lube up the commute home, ya know.
The bigger snarl is likely to be the solemn vigil at the law enforcement memorial in Judiciary Square starting at 8pm. More than 20,000 are expected, and the buses will start arriving (and stopping traffic) much earlier. If history is any guide, after the vigil, these folks will pour into the surrounding neighborhoods. I'd stay away from Irish Times and Dubliner if you don't like crowds.
