Niedermayer Watch -- Day 96 of a Sport Held Hostage...

The Burkempire Strikes Back

"Yes, he was suspended today. I spoke with Scott to tell him he was being suspended, which Scotty expected."

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all

A Tale of Two . . . Well, Two What, Exactly?

The Peerless takes time out from his hiatus to bring you two quotes. See if you can answer correctly who the authors are...


"We have just created and introduced a great, low cost ticket package against our biggest rivals. I am hopeful we can fill the house against these teams with our own hometown Caps fans. The reason we created a package of tickets is to ensure that our own fans buy them and come to all of these games. I doubt that a fan of just one of these teams will buy all of the tickets in the package. For $99, a fan can come to our Opener and five of our best games against our biggest rivals. Please consider purchasing a plan; come to these games; and be loud and proud."


"I need another 2,500 season-ticket seats. What that would do is tip it, it would give us scarcity of tickets and allow us finally to raise prices. Our ticket prices, for the most part are exactly the same as they were in 1999."


If you answered: a) Ted Leonsis (on September 8), and b) Ted Leonsis (today), you win a prize. The Peerless will make sure to give you a deal on it so you can pay more later.
