Congrats to Ted and the Caps

On my list for this season:

* Qualify for the playoffs – check.

* Garner 100 points or more in the regular season – check.

* Win Division title – check.

* Break all-time attendance record – check.

* Sellout all games for future season – check

* Cross 12,000 full season tickets barrier – check.

There are many items on the list still to check off but it feels good to get a jump start on the list to date.

I just wanted to say “Congrats” to the Caps and Ted Leonsis. They’ve been one of the great stories this season, and it’s been a lot of fun watching that team play this year, not just because they’re good, but because it’s a team that seems to like being a team and enjoy playing the game. They’ve been one of my favorites to follow out east all season, and it’s awesome that the work and time put in to build the team is being rewarded, both by success on the ice and by the fans.
