Wow. What a perfect film. Wow. It’s so very powerful; so well acted; and so well crafted. My entire family was stunned by it. It was so moving and so emotional and so tense.
I hardly ever recommend films to my friends but this film is honestly Oscar-worthy. It is a great little film with a superb cast in a venue that reminded me of a part of my childhood. Really, this film was so well done. I only wish I could be associated with a film that was half as good. Bravo.

Greed is good, it clarifies. I am not a destroyer, I am a liberator!
I guess what goes around goes around, huh?
A good time was had by all last night. Thanks so much for another sellout.
We get another home win. We are a very tough team to play at Verizon Center and we now have a nice five game win streak against the New York Rangers. The game was very close but I am proud to say that our team had more skilled players who delivered than they did, Semin to Green for goal one and Ovechkin shorthanded for goal two. In the past, the roles were reversed. We were the hard working team without the big stars who could deliver in key moments but not anymore. Our skilled players are home grown too.
We now have the franchise’s best record in our history after 40 games. Savor that thought.
Funny thing is that no one – not George McPhee, Dick Patrick, our coaching staff or the players - is satisfied with the way we are playing. We are still shorthanded and we are still a bit sloppy. We still haven’t gelled.
We finally get a day off. Our next game is Tuesday then we play on Friday. Those extra days to heal up and rest can be vital for our team.
As I said before, enjoy the ride. Our goaltending is getting better and better. Our health is starting to return. Fasten your seatbelts!
Check out this beautiful film on how music and art can overcome war and pain. The Flute Player is a wonderful piece of work. Thank you PBS.
Football season is over locally as is baseball season. College football is ending now too.
The NBA is rocking but locally our Wizards are off to a tough start sad to say.
So there is college basketball (Hoya Saxa!) and the NHL with your local franchise, the Washington Capitals.
We are off to a hot start. We have a fun team to watch. In the past, we have asked to get our fair share of media spotlight and now we are in it. I hope we don’t ever have to say, “Be careful what you ask for as you just may get it!”
I expect to see a lot of media covering our team. They will shine the light – warts and all - on us. I hope we are up to the scrutiny and the challenge.
I hope we seize this opportunity to play well and play up to our demanding standards as Coach Brooks said in Miracle, “THIS is our time.” I hope we make the best of it. Go Caps!
Ratings were great. Kudos to everyone involved as more than three million people watched this game from Chicago’s Wrigley Field.
Here is ESPN’s take on next season’s event.

I never thought Charles Barkley was serious about running for elected political office until now. See his campaign thoughts on RUNNING for office here at The Smoking Gun.
That was a tough scene last night watching a former player being taken off the ice on a stretcher.
Jamie Heward is a very nice man, a family man. He is a great guy and we are all hopeful that he recovers quickly and can get back on the ice to play for the Lightning ASAP. Playing hockey is in his blood. It is his how he makes his living and his passion. We care for him in the hockey brotherhood and our thoughts of support go out to his family as well.
Alex Ovechkin plays with speed and power. He is the most authentic and honest player in the game. There was no intention of a misdeed with the hit. He was as concerned as everyone in the arena or who was watching on television. Injuries happen in this game. We have had our share as a team - just look no further than Brian Pothier’s injury 14 months ago from concussion - so we have great empathy.
We also had to finish the game last night and I was proud of our resilience and our fortitude. We get another win on home ice. We didn’t play particularly well after jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first period. We were trying to coast and all I could think about was the Rangers game when they took a 4-0 lead on us and we beat them in OT. It feels good right at this moment in time to be 2nd in the East and have the 4th best record in the entire NHL. It won’t get any easier for us on Saturday as we will play a highly motivated team in the Rangers at home. See you at the game. Go Caps!
