About

For my whole life, hockey has been a key part of my daily activities. I love reading articles from professional writers and I love watching highlights 5 times in a row regardless of what is being shown. Hockey is life - the rest is just details. From about the age of 13 when the dream of making the NHL as a player was all but shot, my goal was to make it as a general manager or in some sort of management role. I love hearing about the finer details of players and how they are fitting on a team. I love debating where players may go, I love debating about the draft and I love thinking about how one player may fit on another team. Although not my best attribute, writing about hockey and other sports is one of my passions. I love going against the grain and supporting a point that is not very common. I also love watching and writing about developing players coming through the ranks.

    Still waiting for you to respond to my pointing out of your hypocrisy: you belittle my lack of research when you didn't even correctly read the statement you decried as wrong nor the timeline of when I made my predictions. No one is worse than hypocrites, so you can expect posts from me to fly like Donald Brashear haymakers until you back off your unfounded and libelous statement.

    i've been on this site longer than you and care more about it—enough to actually read an article before I jump to conclusions and take shots at someone.

    Can the Knicks' Jared Jeffries at the very least regain some of his pride this season?

    Hey Aaron,

    Thanks for getting in touch on the bulletin board. I thought the article was very well written and it certainly raises an interesting idea. While I firmly believe the NHL playoffs are the best playoffs going, it is tough sometimes to be watching hockey on a weekend in May/June when it's 25 and sunny outside.

    Also just wanted to let you know, if you didn't already, that I am the Co-Community Leader for the NHL section here at BR. Basically I act (along with the other Community Leaders) as soundboards for you, the writers. If you ever need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me. Just get in touch with me at any of my contact points on my profile, or by leaving something on my bulletin board.

    Again, great article, and if you need anything at all, feel free to ask.

    --Derek
