Don’t Go Overboard Please

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

I have received many threatening emails or instant messages and some emails that can be considered quite suspect over the many years of our Washington Capitals ownership.

I even get blog comment postings from people trying to cover their true identity. Please be aware that everything has a digital fingerprint and if you do send something threatening or truly despicable, your identity can be traced back to its eventual source by the authorities.

Our Prayers Are with His Family

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

Our community lost a beloved figure when Tom Newman passed. See obituary here.

No Tom Newman - no Kettler Capitals Iceplex. He was a great man; a concerned and honest public official; and he loved hockey and his community.

He will be missed and he will be mourned.

Brian’s Story

Read this wonderful piece on ESPN.com about our own “Brian’s Story”. Click here.

I am very happy for Brian and his family. I am also proud of our organization and how we have dealt with this issue and with Brian’s health and career.

I think we will have a win-win situation here.

Only Look Forward Now

OK. Last night’s game is over. It represented a lot of hype. We won. We get two points. We are now in second place in the East with 99 points. We have beaten Tampa ten times in a row. Alex Ovechkin had a decent game, huh? :-) He was low key. He had 4 points and 2 goals. He reaches 100 points for the third time in his career. He had more hits than any player on both teams, another quality night. :-) Backstrom was dominant too with two goals and an assist and he was a monster on face offs as well.
