Our Heart is in the Right Place

Posted on by

We want to win for the benefit of the city and for our fans.We didn’t get it done.

It is hard to talk about. See this article.

But talk we must. If we don’t then we are NOT facing the music, we are dodging the media. We can’t do that, so talk we must. We talk too much. I know that, but if we don’t then we are criticized for hiding from the critics.

It is a weird dynamic. Talk and get criticized or don’t talk and get criticized. We deserve to have people’s critical input, so talk and blog we must.

As I have noted to everyone “win and everything takes care of itself.” I am proud of the folks and players that have spoken to so many people over the last week.

Our heart is in the right place and our fans are our priority.

Onward to improving the team. There isn’t much more we can say, but talk we must til you all say “shut up and get back to work.” I look forward to that day :-) . Go Caps.

Thank You

I agree.

Thanks for this article. It brightened my day.

It is interesting though how individual awards and excellence and accomplishment all pale compared to a collective goal. Especially one that is earned as a “team.”

As I note in my book “The Business of Happiness”, being an active participant in multiple communities of interest, getting out of the “I” and into the “we”, and focusing on a higher calling are all keys to self actualization and true contentment.

We are quite fortunate to have a super star player who has great talent, who understand how to be happy, and who is focused on team goals and on a collective happiness.

And one who just loves the game of hockey. Alex has agreed to play in the World Championships for Russia. I know how tired he is after the season, but he loves the game. He respects his team mates and he will be there when it counts.
