More Recognition for Mike Green
Saturday, February 7th, 2009If Not Us, Who?
Saturday, February 7th, 2009If not now, when?
Truer words were never spoken.
Get ready for a tough, big time game tonight. Florida is unsung but very talented and hungry. They have us in their sights.
There is still a lot of hockey to play in the regular season.
Tonight will be loud and alive and electric at Verizon Center. It is cold outside. It is time to drop the puck and play some hockey. Let’s put the last game behind us and focus on the here and now. No more talk about potential. As someone great once said, ”The future is now.”
Much Ado About Nothing
Saturday, February 7th, 2009There is no feud between the Caps and the Nationals. We are close friends. We work together. We care about each other’s success. I am a Nationals season ticket holder. Mark Lerner is a minority partner in the Capitals as well. We are close family friends.
We want each other to be successful at the gate and in the standings.
The Caps re-branded and re-launched our new jerseys. Our home uniforms are red now not white. We used to have white jerseys and hence “White Outs” for years and years when we played big games and in the playoffs. When we went to red uniforms, it all changed to ”Red Outs”. And most of the fan adoption was virally and organically activated. End of story.
The town is big enough to have multiple teams wear red or burgundy and gold or grey and blue or teal and whatever color is best suited for that team.
Thom: Ever notice that both the Washington Times and the Washington Post are black and white and red less and less all over?
