Really?

Alex was one of the three stars of the NHL last week and he is on pace to score more than 50 goals and garner 100 points and some of our fans are unhappy with his performance? Either these folks see something that the rest of the league doesn’t see or I am stumped?

Let’s appreciate what we have.

Congratulations to Peter Bondra

Peter and I had lunch last month to discuss his plans and he informed me of his decision to become GM of the Slovakian national hockey team. I am very happy for him and believe he will be a great addition to the team’s infrastructure and his goal is to help his country develop its skill and professionalism and to win a medal at the World Championships. He seemed very pumped at this opportunity and is very focused on helping his country achieve success on a global basis.

We are talking about a series of things to do together but at this time he will be focused on his new position and we wish him the best of luck. Peter and I have a great relationship. I am very grateful for all he did for our franchise. Hopefully you will be seeing Peter around the Verizon Center and Kettler Capitals Iceplex in his new job. Wish him well when you see him. He is a great man and was a great player in the NHL. Peter is deciding on the nature of our relationship on the go forward and we are here to help him in his new capacity. More as it develops.
