Good News on Nylander

Less we forget, we had an incredible run and played with heart and determination. We played a seven game series and on the sidelines – wearing business suits - were a first line forward and our captain, Chris Clark; our veteran center, Michael Nylander; and two top four D men for us in Jeff Schultz and Brian Pothier. Injuries are a part of the game but we missed these vet players and look forward to their off-season recovery.

“You’ve Just Got to Fight Through It”

While I do believe that there were several calls last night that directly affected the outcome of the game and of the series, I would like us all to look forward. Don’t look back. We had an amazing season. We lost two games in overtime to lose the series 4-3. Keep the faith. The breaks will come our way one day. That is what I believe.

I Believe and, More Importantly, You Do Too

We have a plan that is working. The players and staff believe in it. The fans believe in it and I believe the media sees that we are quite serious in trying to build a Stanley Cup winner right here in DC.

Thank you for your support and patience. As I said, ”The rebuild is over.” Onward to a great future. We won’t rest until we win a Cup.
