Caps Analysis with a Cherry On Top

Posted on by

From the New York Times.

The New York Times and Don Cherry; how is that for a combo to discuss the Washington Capitals?

Read it here if you have a moment. Thank you.

Just more grist for the mill.

I hadn’t realized that this was the best October in our team’s history; doesn’t feel like it, does it? I guess you are NOT what your record says you are – you are what someone else says you are. Fine with me.

Important regular season game tonight at Verizon Center. One game at a time. Try to enjoy it all; try to dodge the onslaught of pixels and keep perspective. Have some fun along the way; enjoy the ride. Go Caps! See you all tonight.

Empathy vs. Evil

Posted on by

As I noted in my book, “The Business of Happiness” tuning up your levels of personal empathy is a sure fire way to find increased levels of happiness. And self actualize. Companies that are empathetic tend to be more successful than those that aren’t.

And according to this NY Times article the opposite is true. People who lack empathy are “evil”.

Read this one please. Very important societal implications here. Take a look within. Do you like what you see? Feel? Empathy. The least understood human emotion.

Disastrous?

First Team All-Star. Again. As in every season that he has played.

Tied for second in the NHL in scoring.

Tied for second in goals scored.

Tied for second in plus/minus.

Voted best player by his peers at the NHL Awards.

Best player on Presidents’ trophy winning team during regular season.

Captained team to 121 points.

Every game a sell-out.

The bar is set high nowadays.

I think 99.9 percent of the league would kill to have a “disastrous” season like Alex had last year.

Just saying. ”Disastrous?” New York Times is a tough judge and critic.

(Shakes head. Wishes now to move on.)
