We raised almost $ 200,000 for Lupus research! Way to go.
And to all the employees from Monumental Sports and Entertainment – thank you so much; you all looked so great in red – and you represented us with style and class! See the photo below.

Preseason Finale
The preseason is over. We get a win against Chicago 4 to 1.The team gets to work as a unit all week in practice before we drop the puck next Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes to kick off a new campaign.
Thank you for your emails; some with praise – some with concerns.
They are all appreciated.
I apologize for the issues with the big screen yesterday at the game. It was rebooted and all worked well; we will make sure we iron out all of the software issues during the week.
I am sure the coaching staff will continue to fine tune the power play as well during the week.
I am happy that we have gone through camp and the long pre-season relatively healthy.
It is getting cooler outside – it feels like hockey weather. We are excited about the new season.
We shall all try to keep a calm and even demeanor during the season; and hope you will enjoy yourself. See you all on Saturday night; Go Caps!

Wow. Who knew this author was a former draftee of the Bullets? Instead of the NBA he went on to play in the NFL. And wrote a book that became a movie called “North Dallas Forty.” Check this article out. RIP.
