Ted's Take

I don’t even know what to say? We went into enemy territory; played the best team in the East; dominated most of the game; and won 8 to 6. All of our offensive weapons were on display with really great production from Alex Ovechkin, Michael Nylander, Alexander Semin and Nicklas Backstrom. Our fore check worked to perfection. Our power play was world class. We looked quicker and more determined than Ottawa and some of our passes that led to goals were other worldly. Well done.

Our power play was world class. We looked quicker and more determined than Ottawa and some of our passes that led to goals were other worldly. Well done. Yet no lead was safe and to score eight goals and feel like we have gotten lucky to win is really puzzling and you just know that our next game against Ottawa will be a true challenge on New Year Day. We have proven now we can play with the Ottawas and the Detroits. We just need to win consistently and force our will on teams on an ongoing basis. I am very happy now with our productivity on generating points in the month of December. It is our best record since the month of March in 2003 and we are making progress and gaining confidence in our abilities in our team. We showed a lot of talent and a lot of heart last night. 

I still like his stuff and his mash ups. This is a cool site so check it out if you haven’t already. Flounder can’t play goalie well but he can mash it up good.

Say your prayers for a great man, a great executive and a great fan of hockey and the Verizon Center. George Warrington headed up Amtrak at its time of greatest need. He pushed the government hard on the joys and efficacy of rail transport and he pushed for the Acela train for the benefit of consumers.

I went to visit with him and speak to his team in Philly. He was a warm and personable family man. He did deals with us at AOL and the Caps and personally supported the Acela Club sponsorship at Verizon Center. He cared deeply about DC and about travelers. He was always asking me questions about new technologies and how Amtrak could incorporate Web 2.0 business methodologies to help consumers. He will be missed. He was so young and so dynamic and so smart. Life is short. Pray hard.
