The reality here is about the only parallel between MannKind and MiniMed is both were founded by Al Mann. Other than that, MannKind stands about as much chance of duplicating MiniMed's path as the Washington Capitals have winning this year's Stanley Cup. For those subscribers who haven't been following the Stanley Cup playoffs the Capitals, the number one seed were eliminated by the number eight seed Montreal Canadians, in the first round. So unless you're a believer in revisionist history it's time to accept the fact that no matter how hard MannKind may try their time has come and gone. The clock is ticking and time is running out.
