Whether You Like Political Advertising or Not…

This is a dirty ad and this is a dirty business. Do you really think the American public wants to see ads that stoop this low over the last 30 days? If I was a candidate right now, I would NOT get into the mud. I would try to rise up and rally America with a plan; with specifics; and with inspiration. I am afraid though that both sides are about to come out swinging and lying and blasting our airwaves with ads like this one. I don’t think they help. I think they actually hurt a candidate.

Mike Milbury

Mike said some incredibly stupid things on the Hockey Night In Canada broadcast this weekend again mentioning the Washington Capitals. He said that Washington, Nashville and the Florida teams should all be contracted. If I remember correctly, he also called Alex Ovechkin a dog and then a month later Alex won the MVP award. :-)  And the season is just getting started. Good way to pump up that NHL brand, Mike. :-) I am sure Mike is just trying in his fumbling and bumbling way to be provocative.

My bet: If I offered Mike Milbury a job with the Washington Capitals, he would take the first flight down; interview; and if offered a position, would take it with glee. If Nashville called – or Tampa or Florida - he would be on the first flight down to discuss employment. Of course, that will never happen. Maybe he knows that he has become a joke amongst NHL insiders and will most likely never work in the front office of a team again. And if I have my way, he will never have lunch in this town again either. :-)

Hockey News on Building a Team

Here is an interesting article in The Hockey News. I love the comments and flames being thrown in the comments section too. :-)  I enjoyed doing this interview. As I have said, we haven’t done anything of note yet but I am absolutely sure that there are many teams in the league that would exchange places and teams with us in a heartbeat. Even up – no second thoughts.
