That is my new title. I always worry as soon as we drop the puck.
Last night started our new season on the road against a great team in Boston.
We are all excited. We are picked by many to be one of the best teams in the NHL. We have that potential but when all is said and done, more is often said than done.
We have to execute the coach’s system. We have to remain hungry. We have to play with discipline and we have to stay healthy.
If we do all of the above, I am confident we can be a very good team.
Anything can happen in hockey and we have the toughest first month schedule in the NHL. We are excited. We are happy but as usual I am worried. We don’t want to let anyone down and we want to improve on last year. Wish us well. Go Caps!
Here are a bunch of articles from the Washington Times. We thank them for their coverage and for their love of the game.
Ted,
You do a great job, but could you please stop referring to the team in business terms…even if that’s what it technically is to you. “portfolio”, “assets”, the stanley cup is a “key deliverable”… it takes the fun/dynamics out of just being a great hockey team that people enjoy watching.
Maybe I’m wrong, but these are people – not assets, the Stanly Cup is…the Stanley freaking’ Cup, the team isn’t a portfolio, it’s a group of talented athletes.]
Please stop it.
