Have faith Wizards fans

Posted on April 06, 2012

Our team is so young and so shorthanded right now. It is playing hard night after night - young players are being battle tested. They are getting their minutes and gaining experience. I also know next season there won’t be back to back to back games in the schedule. This is a really tough battle ground for such a shorthanded team to develop upon.  But talk to a Washington Capital's fan sometime - it is always darkest before the dawn.  The Capital's had several really bad years- we drafted well; we played the young players - and then we started to improve. We were bad tile we were good.  We are now a good team; and we make the playoffs year after year. And we are still considered a young team with a young core. All the players in their mid-twenties.  That is the deliverable for our fans. A rebuild that works; we are in season 2 of our ownership of the team; year two of a painful but necessary rebuild.  Thank you for sticking with us - thank you for believing. I am proud of the Wizard's players who are "toughing" this one out. Keep the faith.
