What a Story
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Scary But True
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Check out this article.
A Good Value for Our Fans
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Whether you want to believe these numbers or not, the Capitals are ranked 21st in ticket prices which we believe offers a fair deal - a fair exchange of value - compared to many other teams in the NHL. The average ticket price in the NHL according to this report is at $51 and we are positioned at about $44, below the league average.
Women in Boxes
Thursday, October 8th, 2009A Magician’s Assistant, who are these folks?
Learn here and watch this film. It is very funny and very interesting.
They get cut in half and have knives thrown at them. They disappear and then they come back better than ever! Who are these people? Who knew?
Comrades in Arms
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Professional athletes like and respect one another. I think in DC more than other towns, too!
Many of our players have been embraced and visa versa by the Washington Wizards, DC United, Washington Nationals and Washington Redskins. They come to our games. We go to their games. They socialize together as well.
See this Skins blog post about Alex Ovechkin and his three point attempts on the field.
I also know that the coaches and GMs talk amongst themselves as well. There is deep mutual respect between teams and execs between sports. These players and execs are all brothers in arms. It is nice to see.
Remarkable Start and Stats
Thursday, October 8th, 2009But it only matters if/when we win.Alex is not about personal stats. He is about helping the team win. It is why he is such a beloved teammate. He is focused on our singular goal. Personal accolades will come; stats will be generated; but wins are what are most important.
Right now I would have to believe that the Ovechkin-Backstrom-Semin line may be the best line in the NHL. I think they generated 8 points against Philadelphia and would have had more if we weren’t killing off so many Philly power plays.
What should we call this line? What are your ideas?
Food Fight
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Come one, come all. The Food Fight is a great event and a great night to support a wonderful local charity.
Feed the poor; train folks to make a living; and have some fun in the process.
See you there?
