Patience is a Virtue
Here is a nice article on OFB about some of our young players.
I must admit that other than Alex Ovechkin, we do not have a single player on our roster that a fan hasn’t demanded that we trade, cut or put on waivers via an email to me. 
Our coaches, scouts and GM know the players best. They see them play up close and personal at every game. They watch how they practice; how they study; how they take care of themselves; and they see how they develop statistically and emotionally. They gauge their upside.
We believe in young players as the core of our team. We believe in having upside in their development and maturity. We think we will improve as a team as our young players get more experience and more comfort playing in the NHL. They know the system, their teammates and they know what is expected of them.
We have many young players waiting to make their way into our lineup as well. The future is still bright.
We have patience. Rome wasn’t built in a day. We believe in our youth movement and it is certainly paying off. Just review our core of young players and then review the other great or up and coming teams in the NHL. For the most part, they are being built around young drafted and developed players.
This is a good blog post. Thank you.
What a Thrill
Leonard Maltin is now available to all on indieWIRE!
His Movie Crazy blog is really terrific and we are honored to host him on indieWIRE. Check out his review of Avatar here. IndieWIRE is really booming and I believe Leonard Maltin is the most respected of all film critics. He has a consumer populist sensibility. We hope to do Leonard Maltin proud.
My family and I went to see Avatar last night. We all thought it was epic. Certainly the money spent – in excess of $150 million for the film itself - shows up on the screen. I thought the story and filmmaking were fantastic and that the computer generated segments were the best ever created by Hollywood. I usually am not a fan of big CGI based films but Avatar was special, one-of-a-kind and a “must see.” Jim Cameron is a certified genius. This film was written and directed by him and his touch and POV is seen in every single frame of this film. We really enjoyed it although we all thought it could have been 20 minutes shorter.
The Anti-YouTube?
I really enjoyed reading this article. We are blushing.
We do believe in the power of independent film and documentaries and in providing free long form content to consumers.
