The 2007-2008 NHL Season starts for the Capitals on October 5! I can’t wait.
Here’s a blurb from a DCist Interview with Capitals owner Ted Leonsis:
DCist: What are your goals for this hockey season?
TL: My goals for this coming season are simple: have the team go on a steep incline of improvement, qualify for the playoffs, then see what happens once we get there. The rebuild is over. We will always seek to improve. We will have more young players fighting for roster spots, but we now have enough depth–a good mix of young stars and veteran players and good chemistry and coaching. We should up the bar now on our expectations. “If not now, when? If not us, who?”
It’s awesome to be hearing “The rebuild is over” — seems like the Capitals have been on a 5-year rebuilding plan for about a decade.
The link below shows a bunch of establishments that are donating proceeds from tonight’s sales to help the rebuilding efforts for Eastern Market.

I took a few pics with my cameraphone before it got dark and we had to head back. Snagged a couple mementos, too.

My tumblr page already caught the feed from it, so you can look there too.
Fire coursed through the shops of the historic Eastern Market on Capitol Hill early Monday morning, gutting the southern half of the 134-year-old landmark.
It took 160 District firefighters two hours to extinguish the blaze, which tore through the roof and all but demolished the collection of meat, produce and other shops popular with neighborhood residents and throughout the region.

This is terrible. One of the city’s best places to visit. I can only imagine what the vendors there are going through…
Update: There is a Flickr set available.
