Hey Jim! Thanx for commenting on my article. I was waiting for a class and I had some time on my hands today so I wrote a kind of summary piece on the Habs' current situation. Don't forget to comment. Thanx.

Hey Jim,

I again want to thank you for the input on the Tavares/Hedman article. It's refreshing that, if someone disagrees, they can say so in a manner that isn't simply tossing around lewd terms :)

Anyhow, I've been seeing a couple of your comments pop up around the site, and I have to say: How about writing an article? You have some strong opinions and interesting views, and certainly have the ability to stand your ground with well-researched facts.

Any ways Jim, thanks again for keeping the community on it's toes and at least give it some thought!
