Here is The Hockey News cover story on the Washington Capitals. We have come a long way, huh?
We have never garnered this level of respect from the trade news. The previous teams never caught the imagination of the media like this one. We have officially crossed a chasm and reached the other side in terms of media attention. Two major cover stories this month alone in ESPN the Magazine and now The Hockey News.
Now we have to execute and try to live up to the hype which will be a very tall order indeed. But for a select few of you Caps fans that whined about a lack of respect; or how we didn’t know how to build a team; or handle PR; or know how to market…how do you like those apples?
great to get national publicity! i’m a new season ticket holder but a fan since the start, and i just started a blog to follow the Caps. i didn’t know if this was the proper forum to get your attention to it, but would love to be included in the list of hockey-friendly blogs on the website and even get your opinion of it.
i published a fairly-well received blog about the Nats this summer, so i have a readership base already built, but also just trying to break into the Caps blogosphere.
thanks, and keep up the GREAT work!
A tall order indeed. So far I like what I see but there’s 79 games to go. Thursday’s game is key – I cannot possibly stand losing to those &%!@*$% Pens. Keep working the plan Ted!
This is awesome… and yes, the Caps are a fun and exciting team to watch…
Great, Ted. Now how about telling THN to get a clue and drop the firewalls, eh?
