Check it out. Rock on!
I have a guitar signed by Bono and another one signed by Clapton. This one looks pretty cool to me, too!

Cool Photo of the Day
Now this is a cool photo from a recent Caps game.
Thanks for being so loud and proud.
That is a true badge of honor – a shield for the ages.
Click here – cool. Go Caps!
An A+
For our opening video. We blush.
And Tom Green ”Unleashing the Fury” just for us. And you!
Pretty cool.
We try to entertain on and off the ice.
The feedback from people in the arena has been very strong on both of these new fun videos. Thank you. Go Caps!
Boyd Tinsley Rocks Me While Obama Rocks the Red
I met Boyd Tinsley last night at a political rally. We talked for fifteen minutes until I realized he was the violinist in the Dave Mathews Band. What a great guy and so very articulate. He is in town to play with the Dave Matthews Band at Nissan Pavilion this weekend. Click here for info on Boyd Tinsley.
He, too, is a filmmaker and loves sports. He is also a very good tennis player. We talked for 45 minutes until our President arrived then we had to be serious and pay attention. Boyd is good friends with VA Governor Tim Kaine and Tim is going to the concert this weekend as Boyd’s guest. How cool is that?
Guess What Two Words I am Going to Use Over and Over Now?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We are blessed to have such great fans. We broke all of our attendance records this year for home games. Thank you.
Red Skate on a Real Red Out
Thanks for the nice words. I do believe the Verizon Center rocks and is one of the loudest and best buildings in the league because we have a crazed, proud and loyal fan base.
As an aside, I was in Philadelphia today with family. We went to see the Liberty Bell and while standing and taking a photo, two Flyers fans approached me wearing their Flyers jerseys and introduced themselves. We talked about our rivalry; last year’s playoff series; the season so far; and then we shook hands and went our separate ways. Thanks guys. You were very classy.
Also, Philadelphia is rocking the red this weekend, Phillies red that is. There is a huge fountain near the museums and they were running RED WATER through the fountain. Many buildings were displaying red lights and there were red flags everywhere.
Caps Fans are Everywhere
Last week I found myself in Chicago with time to kill so I jumped on an architectural boat ride of the city. I sat down upstairs with my family and as we were set to leave, a woman entered the boat wearing a red Caps t-shirt. She immediately recognized me and yelled, ”Hey Ted! I am rocking the red and flying the flag in the second city!”
Later that night in the hotel elevator, a couple was aside us and as we were leaving the elevator the gentleman said, “Let’s Go Caps!”
Yesterday, in the Tampa airport, the baggage handler said to me, ”I just moved from DC. I am glad we got Olie down here but I still think the Caps are the class of the division.” And just now, as I received room service, the server said to me, ”Good luck next season.” It’s truly an amazing experience to see how the Caps have become so well known around the country. And we have fans everywhere. Let’s go Caps!
I Hope He is Right
I hope we can sell every ticket to every game next season. Please help us keep the magic at Verizon Center. We showed the world what great fans we have and how the building looks with a sea of red. You are all so loud and proud. If you haven’t renewed your season tickets, please do so now. If you have a partial plan, please consider upgrading to a full season ticket package. If you bought single tickets to playoff games, please consider getting a plan. We need your ongoing help. The team will only get better and better. Please join us now!
Stay Humble – Stay Hungry
Tonight is Game 7 at Verizon Center, Caps vs. Flyers. This is what we wanted and hoped for: A 7th game to be played in front of a red army of fans that are loud and proud.
We worked very hard last night to bring home a Game 7 but we must remember that the Flyers have a great team and they will be hungry, angry and will come to play. This will be the most intensely played game of the year for us. We must remain focused on our team goals.
We haven’t won anything yet. We must remain in the moment, dignified and come to play.
Thank you in advance for coming and supporting our team tonight. You are the true unsung heroes for our franchise. You will bring our team hope, energy and class. Let’s go Caps!
Don’t Have Much to Say Today
I believe the team is ready. It is confident. It wants to come back home and play a Game 7 in front of our great fans. Wish us luck. Go Caps and THANK YOU!
