In Honor of HBO
And its work on 24/ 7 built around the NHL Winter Classic and its Emmy nominations, here is the film Pond Hockey. I enjoy this film so much. Check it out and be a kid again. Go Caps!
Don’t Be Shy
Take control of your own health.
Communicate that you have food allergies.
I do.
Read this one please. Thank you.
Teachable Moments
Tough schedule with back to back west coast games.
A tough loss in double overtime.
These games are the ones we will win in the future as we gain experience. Closing out games is an art. We certainly haven’t mastered it but the team played with heart and with determination last night.
The young kids are paying their dues.
Onward.
Eyes of Tammy Faye
Seems like a million years ago.
How to explain all of this?
An amazing slice of Americana.

Doesn’t Matter How
It matters how many.
We qualify for the playoffs for the fourth season in a row. Well done front office, coach, staff and team. Well done.
We win in Philly in a shootout. We have played four games against the Flyers this season and all went to OT. We get six standing points.
We have now won 13 of 15 games. We have 96 points. We are third in the NHL and we are second in the East.
We are in first place in Southeast and seven points ahead of the second place team.
We only have eight games left to play this regular season.
We are missing Ovechkin, Green, Arnott, and Poti from the lineup but we are healing as we are winning.
Go Caps!
Ozzy – SRO – and Emmys

We are sold out for all of next season so we offer up SRO season tickets. Can you believe that? We have come a long way indeed. Read this one please. We will end up close to 99% renewed for season tickets.
And 24/7 is nominated for a boatload of Emmy Awards in the sports category. Well done HBO.
Thank you – tasty. Monster like.
Japan’s Quake Troubles Not Over
While the reactor issues seem to be settling down, Japan’s dangers from further earthquakes are clearly increasing. Check out this very interesting story from Yahoo News, and then click on “Violent Earth” on the right side of that page. You’ll see an extraordinary National Geographic special that explores why these mega-quakes and tsunamis occur, and where the next ones may happen. Be amazed, entertained … And wary. Most of all be informed! Start here.
No One Knows Nothing Redux
One month ago I was receiving hate mail about NBA trades and deadline and superstars moving from one team to another.
Hate mail. Full of conviction and opinions from virtual general managers via email to me.
OK.
One month later.
The New York Knicks are a 500 team at 35-35. They are 7-9 since their big blockbuster trade. They have two superstars on their team.
The Denver Nuggets are 10-4 since the trade. Addition by subtraction? Denver is 42-29 overall.
And I haven’t received any emails of late on this subject.
It isn’t easy building a winning team. There is no magic wand to wave.
But deep rotations adhering to a system; developing and keeping a core together; and playing as a team seem to me the best course of action. Writing checks and throwing new players into a mix and expecting great and immediate success is hard to execute.
