Great article. Mr. Leonsis, I just discovered your blog after reading a fantastic article in the Hockey News about the Washington Capitals. What’s the significance you may ask? Well my name is Jody Nimetz and I live in Kelowna, BC, Canada. I’m a huge hockey fan with the Edmonton Oilers being my favorite team. I also work in the Search industry for a company called Enquiro Search Solutions Inc. http://www.enquiro.com. We do SEO, PPC and research (including some cutting edge eye tracking research.)
Hockey and Search are what compelled me to post this comment. The article in the Hockey News was about how exciting the Capitals are. I would argue that the Oilers are the most exciting team in all of hockey, but the Capitals are right there with them. They have quickly become my first or second favorite US based team. I love what you’ve done with the team. Your fans are a lucky group to be able to watch the team that you have assembled.
The article written by Ken Campbell was exciting to read as he discusses that the “coolness of the Capitals goes beyond Ovechkin’s Dolce & Gabbana wardrobe. The Capitals are also on the cutting edge of technology… The Caps have three full-time employees devoted to singularly to provide video content for their website. They have 25 bloggers who have full access to the team and run numerous promotions and fan clubs on Facebook…” Mr. Leonsis this is great stuff. You are a maverick (oops sorry Mrs. Palin)when it comes to NHL owners. I wish you all the success that you deserve with the team. If you ever need a 26th blogger to blog from afar here in western Canada, I would be honored.
Keep up the great work. I’ll be reading your blog regularly.
Ted: Is there anything that you or the NHL Board of Governors is willing to do regarding the current point structure in the NHL? The other night when the Caps were playing the Flames, the majority of NHL games went to overtime or shootout, and I think it is ridiculous that teams are getting points for losing in overtime. Either go back to the old system where a regulation win was worth two, an overtime tie was worth a point each, and Overtime Loss was zero or alter the current system so that teams aren’t being rewarded for losses. It really affects the Caps when, let’s say, the Lightning are playing the Thrashers and both get points for going to overtime. Please do something about it! Sincerely, Andrew
