Ted Leonsis: Congratulations to Montreal


Here's a surprisingly candid view of the Canadiens' series win by Capitals' owner Ted Leonsis posted on his blog Ted's Take.  Very classy.

excerpt:

"We lost. But Montreal won. They deserve respect and congratulations for a well played series.

They played committed hockey, they sacrificed, and they out worked us. I have never seen better D and more blocked shots in a playoff series. I think they blocked as many shots as we took last night. Another stat I had never seen before."

Certainly not something you see every day.

Leonsis proves to be a gracious "loser", and for that he has my respect and admiration!

Well done, Ted!

I completely agree. It takes a big man to say "congrats, you won, we lost". But it takes a man full of grace and class to step up and write a well thought out congratulations, not just to the team, but for the entire hockey world to see. Props to Leonsis

100% Class. Not only in the aftermath of the Caps elimination, but all along this first round. His team should take some cues.
