Ted's Take

It was a special day. These kids are truly the bravest people we can ever get to know.

Winning in professional sports takes a delicate balance of talent, chemistry, luck, breaks from the officials and good health. Getting it all to work together and fighting through the hard times is what makes for great teams.

 Health and keeping key players in the lineup is really a big deliverable for a team’s success. The Redskins are having their share of tough luck in terms of health. We have already been hit hard by the injury stick too at the Capitals losing Eric Fehr, Alexander Semin and Boyd Gordon to date. When you lose a key player, the lines get juggled; new assignments must be learned; new roles taken; and the psyche and confidence of the team gets tested. Having depth is key but losing key players is hard to overcome during a very long season. Pray for good health for all of our local teams.
