As Far As I Know – The Game Is ON For Tonight

I am driving to the game. I am driving myself.

Both teams are here. The ushers are here. The on-ice officials are here. The food services people are here.

The NHL says game on.

Comcast says game on.

Hence, it is game on.

Wish us all luck.

Georgetown is on for playing Villanova tomorrow.

Wizards are on for Saturday night.

Caps vs. Pens on Sunday is still on pending Penguins’ arrival on time from Montreal.

That is what I know now as of right now.

Funny Sign

A pizza joint in my hometown of McLean,VA has a sign outside that says…

“The Capitals fuel up before every game at Rocco’s!”

I don’t know if that is true. I don’t know if that is kosher to say but who cares? We are becoming a part of the popular culture now! I loved seeing this kind of community positive vibe and attachment to our positive glow.

12 in a Row

It wasn’t pretty but we will take it.

It was a fun game in spite of the green light flashing into Jose Theodore’s face. We will look into the matter ASAP.

A wild game and a great win. A win that shows character and heart and a never say die attitude.

We now have 84 points. I think in some years 84 points qualified a team for a playoff spot. We have 25 games left to play.

We play tonight again against Atlanta at home. Stay tuned to our web site for info on the game. Both teams are here in DC so I believe the NHL will allow us to play to get the game in and stay on schedule.

I empathize. I have to drive in and back to the game as well, but if it is game on, it is game on.

Go Caps. We are humbled. This is fun. Take it one game at a time but you have to admit…. this is fun.

Hard To Put Into Words

Five hundred points in less than 5 seasons. Historic. Don’t take Alex Ovechkin for granted. Ever. It is an honor to watch him play. We are fortunate. We are blessed. This is so much fun.

Twelve seconds left - a dipsy-doodle move though the D man’s legs - a shot with one hand - a goal to get us back into the game. Watch the New York Rangers players’ reaction to the goal scored.

Alex is our leader; our Captain; and our defending league wide MVP.

Watch this goal. It is hard to put into words what Alex does night after night for us and in NYC at MSG for all the MSM to see.

Shark Attack Near Our Home

This is such sad news. A possible great white shark attack off the Treasure Coast near Vero Beach, Florida.

I remember well the sad story of James Willie who was attacked less than a mile from our home.

The ocean is beautiful but it can hold hidden dangers. I am always aware of my surroundings when I enter the ocean.

We often watch kite surfers whiz by our beach front in Vero Beach. Who knew it could be such a doubly dangerous sport. Read this story. Jaws redux.

Say No to the “R” Word- Redux

I agree it is time. No more “R” word usage.

One of my best friends is part of the Best Buddies program. The word cuts deeply into his psyche. It stings, it hurts. I feel empathy for my friend. We were just together at the White House as part of the mentor’s month celebration. Would Potus have said something like this to me and my Best Buddy?

This issue has touched now on a major politician. It is quite unfortunate. Anthony Shriver deserves a call as well as apology.

Mrs. Shriver (if she was still with us) would have gone to the White House and shared a piece of her mind with all that would listen about this issue.

This is not much ado about nothing. This isn’t good practice and I would ask that you read this article within.

It is time. Say no to the “R” word.

Mass Hysteria!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh gosh, it’s gonna snow. Oh gosh, the sky is falling, literally. J

 

We will publish info on my blog and on our Washington Capitals website about the games but my bet is if the other teams are here, we will be playing both games.

 

This is hockey weather. If we can play, we will.

 

Stay tuned for more info but no freaking out please. Go Caps!
