Thank you to the fans of our team for coming out and selling out Verizon Center. Having another Red Out was really special. The team really does feed off of your energy. Our building gets really loud and when it is a Sea of Red, I personally get goose bumps!
It was touching to relive some special moments from last season and to raise the Southeast Division banner together.
And now we must stop looking back at last year; move forward; put the past behind; and now focus on this season. It was a relief to get one win this weekend and get the jitters out so now we can just go play our game and hope to improve and play the way we are capable.
So thanks again for the support and I hope we can all enjoy this season together.
I must note that my mailbox was full of some angry emails this morning - some sent 45 seconds into the game last night - concerning our performance. It is truly amazing to see some fans spew venom two games into the season. I literally have emails demanding that we waive our goaltender; that we fire our coach; that we fire our general manager; that I sell the team…all after two games in.
I hope you all understand that as time has gone on - and I feel that I have been very open and transparent and interactive to our fan base - that I am starting to just ignore or delete emails of this nature. I really don’t think I should respond nor frankly even read some of these emails any longer. To be frank, I have kind of had it with the abuse.
I am asking folks to please respect my time and my space. Please do not abuse me via email. Life is too short to drink bad wine.
