Thank you.

The NHL owners voted to change the schedule and we will now play teams within our division six times instead of eight times. It seems like we play Florida every week.

At the beginning of the season if someone had said that the NY Rangers would score 57 goals and the Capitals would score 58 goals but they would be two of the three lowest scoring teams in the East, would you have believed it? (The Islanders are the other low goal scoring team.) Both the Rangers and the Capitals were two of the busiest free agent signing teams in the off season adding significant firepower to their respective teams. What is going on?

 For goals against, we have let in 74 goals, the same level as division leading Carolina and second place Florida. Our goals against are acceptable but our goals for are UNACCEPTABLE. Add another dozen goals from an injured and out of synch Alexander Semin; a few more wins from one goal losses; and I would certainly feel better about the season. I am just stunned by our lack of offensive production.

As I noted last month, making the move from a nice social community to an ad-based business to justify a $15 billion market cap will be a rocky road to travel. People feel that a social network is very personal and very intimate populated with "my" friends and family members. When ads appear that seem targeted or are based on deeply personal information, consumers blanch as this article so clearly attests.

Here is the first pass of information about "Kicking It" hosted on AOL True Stories. The URL is Kickingitthefilm.com and we will be updating it on an ongoing basis. The film is a very uplifting look at the power of sports and how a ball can change your life.
