Thank You

We needed that kind of performance last night and congratulations to Nick Backstrom on his first NHL goal.

We needed that kind of performance last night and congratulations to Nick Backstrom on his first NHL goal. I see my blog post on Mass Hysteria generated quite a bit of swirl and personal attacks yesterday as people read into it what they wanted. I posted it after getting an email from a fan saying that he had heard that Alex Ovechkin was leaving the Washington Capitals to go to Russia and that he was starting a petition drive to avert "Mass Hysteria" about our team. I told the fan that there was no truth to this rumor and that Mass Hysteria was a pretty big concept and one that is hard to put back into a bottle once the genie is let out. I then went to Wikipedia to see what Mass Hysteria meant and thought it was a cool definition in light of Facebook, instant messaging and the blogosphere; subjects that I comment on a regular basis. That was all. I promise to be clearer in my blog posts and NOT be so ambivalent sometimes. Ted
