Ted,

That was one terrific game last night! We met some guys on the metro on the way to the game, their first game, what a great first game for them. As far as the comments you received during the game when we fell behind 2-0 some people aren’t happy unless they have something to complain about! As a season ticket holder can say this was the most exciting game so far at verizon, just shows the kind of hockey we are capable of playing!

GO CAPS!

You’re the most transparent and honest owner of the four major organizations in this area. Don’t change. Don’t associate with the execs in Ashburn, either.

Teddy, As I watched the game last night I really got to witness Jose Theodore during one of his best games. Forty One (41) saves. What unbelievable talent! And by the way, don’t be looking at those E mails during the game unless of course it’s Coach Boudreau!! Rock the Red and Lets Go Caps!!

Another highlight. Very few Flyers fans in the stands! It used to be when we played the Flyers or Penguins it seemed as if there were as many of their fans as ours in the house. Not any more!!

Funny how you spotted a Caps fan turned Flyer fan for when we play them. We have a fellow STH in 404 that does the same thing except for the Red Wings. I find it disgusting personally.

Ted - What is your opinion on these “fans” that root for the caps at most games but switch allegiances when their real team comes to town? I have run into this a number of times. It seems like they expect us to be thankful that they are STHs (remember those days?).

For me, I just can’t accept that. You’re either support the team 100% or your not a real caps fan. Whats your position?

Ted,

Last nights game was amazing. I watched it live and watched it again on DVR. The first period was amazing and Jose played the best game that I have seen. You have truly created an amazing fan experience and as a long time fan I have seen you only work harder to improve the experience vs. abusing your fanbase to make money. You are the best and it shows in your players. I take my 6 & 8 year old to games and your fan experience is building life long fans. Eric Fehr tossed a practice puck after the warmup skate and my son was glowing. If you stepped on the ice everyone would throw their hats on the ice - Hat trick for you TED!!!!!

No need to try and be happy here. I love this team, warts and all. Thanks for your part in it Ted.

I was thrilled with the crowd - I harken back to the days when Caps fans were outnumbered by Flyer fans in the Cap Center & early MCI Center days. Last night was totally different, to say the least! I give you, Ted, all the credit in creating this great fan base.
