It saddens me somewhat that people still look on Verizon Center as a second home stadium for the Flyers/Rangers/Flightless-Aquatic-Fowl and 2 years ago we’d have to just bite our lip and take it. I saw all the Wings jerseys for the ’98 Cup Finals, and that was one of the most embarrassing moments of my hockey fan-dom. That’s NOT what any of us saw last season going down the stretch and if we can keep packing our own building with Caps season ticket holders, it’ll effectively put that *opinion* of our fair Capital’s home to rest. BUT… we gotta have a ‘Cup to do it. There’s no denying that a championship would go a long ways toward establishing the Caps as a premier team in DC.

I love GDub’s work (as well as his company) and all, but you’re really going with “[t]he most influential and important hockey writer today”?

The one comment that I haven’t seen made yet with regards to what Mr. McKeon wrote last week about contraction is this: What he did was draw people in to read his sites blogs and look at the content on his site. In short, he got people talking about Yahoo!, even if it was to talk about how stupid his comments were (and still are)
