But I think the attached chart means we are making progress as a franchise.
Check it out. We are 41st best franchise in pro sports as per this analysis and 10th best in the NHL.
I think that is progress. Thank you. Go Caps!

“WATCHMEN” – The Times They are A-Changin’
Whoops…here are the 5-minute opening credits of WATCHMEN. It’s very cool. I can’t wait to see this film. Check it out.
TED Conference
Here is a great film about the TED Conference. If you have never attended the event, it is a one of a kind experience. I have attended many times and once gave a presentation as well. It was an honor to be called a TEDster.
Check out this film.
The Haney Project
This is a fun show. You won’t believe how bad Charles Barkley’s swing is and how patient a teacher Hank Haney is on this range.
I am enjoying this show. It will be interesting to see if the swing can be rebuilt.
Felt Like It Was More Than a 1 Point Night
I know it goes into the standings as a loss - and we only garner one point - but it felt like a more uplifting night than that, didn’t it?
We held the Pens to a few quality chances and very few shots. We played with vigor and with discipline.
We came back from a two goal deficit and then lost in the shootout.
The High Road
I am proud of my last name given to me by my father.
My ancestors are from Sparta. My last name is kind of a derivative of Leonidas, the King of Sparta and of 300 film fame. 
For those of you who are unfamiliar, it is pronounced “Lee – On - Sis”, Leonsis.
Most intelligent, non-xenophobic and educated people have no issue with its pronunciation.
Moviefone on “Lipstick & Dynamite”
Check out this very cool documentary about wresting and culture on SnagFilms. Thanks for the shoutout Moviefone.
Pimp This Bum
Here is another interesting site to try to help the homeless.
The web allows for very innovative and personal messages and a way to help individuals.
I actually think this site and what it is trying to do – put a human face on homelessness – is a very worthy cause. Check it out and pass it on. Help where you can.
Indienomics
Fabulous! Everyone should watch this video and hang around this site. It is very smart and very well done.
I am deeply impressed by the messages here. A wise man indeed.
What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger
Tom Boswell writes a very insightful article here. We aren’t as good as we seemed and we aren’t as bad as we seem to play right now either. I still believe in our plan. I still won’t waver from it. We have more work to do but consistency is important and so is belief in a system.
We are having growing pains. We are still an unfinished product. We do have to get back to some basics of our system. A little more focus and hard work will cure a lot of what ails us, a little luck as well.
But the basic guts of this article are very accurate. The road to the top is very seldom a straight line up. Now let us get back to work.
