On the other hand, I'm sitting in the dark in a freezing house on an unplowed street in Rockville, holding 4 precious tickets to the Pens game. Please do not let NBC or the league prevent this game from being rescheduled for Monday or later, so that the thousands of fans who are in similar situations have a chance to see the game.

One of your largest fans from the DC area is Hazel Cunanan a sever from Fado’s Irish Pub, came with me to Pittsburgh to watch and root for the Caps against Penguins. I grew up in Pittsburgh and told her what a great city it was and I knew she would add to the fun at the match. Well here is the amazing part, Hazel wearing her Caps jersey and myself in a Crosby jersey were ejected from the match when the Caps were up 5 to 3 over the Pens. We asked for the reason we were being told to leave. The six usher would not provide us a reason. We were sitting at the glass close to the Caps goal. All Hazel was doing is shouting at the top of her lungs Lets Go Jose, Lets Go Jose. As she was shouting this over and over rooting for her Caps the ushers came over and told us we had to leave. Now I know that there are lots of Caps loyal fans but how many go to the opposing team arena and shouting at the top of their lungs for her team to the point that the home team makes you leave with only three minutes left. Personally I was embarrassed for my home team to be such bad sportsman that I was glad to see the Caps win that night 6 to 3. One day if your around Fado’s Irish Pub your should stop in have a pint and ask for Hazel. She works Wed, Fri and Sat nights, unless she get’s tickets to a match.

Great job with the team!!! I was one whose DirecTV didnt work last night, but I saw the game online! I have tix for Sunday, but I have to say I think it would be completely irresponsible to the fans, players and staff to hold a Sunday game for "ratings" when conditions in DC have all local politicians asking people to stay home. With Monday night free to work with, the NHL could do the right thing by everyone and give them a day and a half to dig out and get some roads cleared...the game is too important for the fans, and current conditions are NOT Friday conditions. The horrible and sad passing of Brian Burke's son on a snowy road is a heartrending reminder that we can all afford to take a breath and put people first....I say we not even endanger the health of the opponents and let them fly in normally tomorrow! I want a good game! Hey Ted!

This team is the best offensive team that I've ever seen, period. And the quality of this team is all thanks to you. I think it's despicable that people would have the courage to complain to you about anything after all you have done for this team. Leave the man alone people! All he deserves is praise for what this organization has become! If you want to see a bad owner and what they can do to a team, look at the Orioles or the Redskins. Those are bad owners who deserve to receive daily e-mails of complaints. I’m amazed that in the midst of a 13 game winning streak anybody could find anything to complain about!

Yes, I really can't afford to come to as many games now but hey, we all have waited for the hard work of your organization to pay off! Its a beautiful thing to see and many, many fans love and appreciate you, Ted. There will always be the negative, hard to please people. Just know that most fans are true, die hard Caps fans who want what is best for the team, even if it means some of the past perks are no longer possible. I still will be driving from northern Harford County to cheer for our Caps as many times as possible. Thanks for the privilege and thanks for always being a true gentleman.

It was our decision knowing the weather conditions and our 1 hour drive from Greenbelt. Hoping our steet get plowed before tomorrow so we can go to the game tomorrow. Guess you can't please some people no matter what you do. Go caps. I was one of the ticket holders who could not make it yesterday.
