Note that the Washington Times beat writer isn’t traveling with the team on its west coast trip for two legitimate reasons: budget and deadlines. (When the game ends out west, his filing of a story will be too late to make the printed paper.)

I understand; have empathy and believe we should get used to it. As fans, we will have to get our coverage from an extended universe of sources. Corey is incredibly talented, hard working and committed to us. Thanks for all you do.

The 30 teams in 30 days series was a good one. I read every one of them. He is a very smart reporter and has done his homework on every team.

Here is Corey’s analysis of the Washington Capitals. There is not much to argue with here. We all hope to do better this season than we did last season. Go Caps!
