Comcast Sportsnet’s Russ Thaler has used his blog at times to detail his family’s growing puck passion, and he does so again today with ‘Thaler’s Thoughts: Snow Caps Making Memories.’ In it Thaler likens the memories he’s forging taking his three sons, Max, Nate and Will, to Caps’ games with those he holds dear from attending New York Giants’ football games with his father as a youth. He’s also got a telling sampling of photos documenting the effort his family made to get to Verizon Center yesterday. It’s a very warm read in our very chilly environs.
Another aspect to consider with this revealing family portrait: more and more local media who are relatively new to covering or following hockey are acknowledging that it is their children’s passion for Alexander Ovechkin and his fun-to-watch team that has fueled their nascent interest. (Thaler, we’d remind, has been an enthusiastic advocate for hockey’s coverage here for years). How’d you like to be Thaler coming home from the studio one evening after a broadcast that didn’t give our guys in Red their just due, and confront this lineup?
