My silent protest (has now ended), but I will be just glad to see hockey.

I do apologize for my absence.  I was rather upset with the fact that the NHL lockout went on as long as it did.    It was truly unnecessary and could have been handled a lot quicker had egos been checked a the door  MONTHS ago.  I even got unfriended and blocked by the Capitals owner Ted Leonsis by voicing my displeasure about something too.  I guess he cannot take a criticism even if it wasn't even about him.  It was about the choices made about the season tickets themselves.  *shaking my head...even more still*

On a calmer note,  back to the lovely time being off from hockey we had the holidays that went well and all of the family in town is well and happy.  Those out of town are doing good as well and are very much missed this time of year.

Finally on January 19th the hockey gods answered our prayers and brought us back HOCKEY!!!!

The Capitals first HOME game was LAST night Tuesday February 22, vs the Winnepeg Jets.  ummmmm

yeah....they lost.  But to be perfectly honest, I really didn't care.  I was just glad to see hockey.

Granted it was sad that people actually "Boo"-ed the team last night was not a good thing.  But those must be the ones who are not used to this team usually starting out this way.  But I'll say it again.  I was just glad to  see hockey.  

With all that happened with the owners and players is between them and I'm sure we will pay for it again as long as Bettman is commissioner.  How many more times must this happen before people actually see this pattern to the problem? 

On a positive note I will end with this; 

I woke up happy this morning about this fact:  HOCKEY is really BACK (atleast for me). I missed it.
