Time Flies When You are Having Fun

Posted on by

It is hard to believe that I have been publishing my personal blog for more than three years now.

I have updated it for more than 1,000 days and have done more than 5,000 posts.

I have a pretty diverse readership: hockey, basketball and sports fans; people in the film business; people from the Internet business; friends and family; neighbors; and folks that just stumble upon this humble little bit of personal expression. I have had visitors from all over the globe come and hang out.

Thank you for caring about what I have to say and what I am thinking and for spending time here. Thank you for your comments and emails as well.

My blog as been ranked high in terms of visits; in terms of popularity; and in terms of quality.

But I don’t blog as a business. I blog here for personal reasons. I believe “self expression” is one of the keys to happiness and self contentment.

I encourage everyone to create their own blog. Join the party and chime in. Talk amongst yourselves. Have some fun! Thank you.

We are Marketing More and More to Baltimore

Posted on by

We hosted a bus load of fans last week. We embrace and work closely with Nestor and his radio station. We activate with promotions, PR and with targeted online campaigns.

I am hopeful that we can be a regional team that is embraced by everyone in our DMA. Our TV ratings are very strong in Baltimore on Comcast SportsNet and our team is the buzz in all three areas: Maryland, Virginia and DC.

Come on out and enjoy a game. Buy some season tickets. Go Caps!

Standings

Posted on by

Good to see us with the  fourth best record in the NHL; with the second best record in the East; with the second most goals scored in the East; and the third most goals scored in the entire NHL. See details here. We have allowed a few more goals than we would all like and we have played 58 games to date. We have a lot of room for improvement in the last 24 games of the season. I have to say that I am pretty satisfied with where we are as of today but we all want to do better and keep on improving. We have 79 points but there are 48 more points for the taking. If we play .500 level hockey from here on out, we can finish with more than 100 standings points which is a great feat.

All About Team

We shouldn’t be talking about individual stats or awards. All that matters to us all is to qualify for the playoffs; win a series; and take it from there. We must win a Stanley Cup during “our time”. Alex is our leader and he “gets it”. He is a high character and an intrinsic leader. The awards will come but all of our eyes are focused on one prize, a championship.

As an aside, it was a pleasant surprise to hear on ESPN yesterday the discussion about Alex and his MVP credentials. They also showed the “goal redux” about a million times as well. :-)  That is great for the game and for the fans.

We get the respect we deserve now. Alex is recognized as the best of the best and the league’s MVP. We sell out every game. We have only one aspiration now that is shared by all: Win it all. If not now, when? If not us, who?
