Thanks for reading and commenting on my article, Fred. Would you like to see the Nordiques back in Quebec and would you cheer for them? Would you like to see your tax dollars spent on a new arena? As to the election, unless Lebeaume's opponent is running on a platform that clearly opposes the building of a new arena, I doubt that he/she will repudiate any commitments Lebeaume has made if he/she wins.

Hey I wrote an article on the current state of NHL writers on Bleacher Report and I think it's an important read to members of the community. Take a look when you get a chance. Thanks.

My good friend, and Ohio State Football number one fan, Michael, wrote his first NHL article, going for the big questions about the Montreal Canadiens.

Hey! Thanx for commenting on my article. Have a read this too. I had some time on my hands today so I wrote a kind of summary piece on the Habs' current situation. Thanx.

Hey best fan in the world!

A long week end for sports fans, the Kings and then the big bad Bruins; who looked so nice at the All Star Games! Your take on those games?

Latest media attraction: Carey Price saying the “F” word on live!!! But who can blame him?! lol

Have a great Week End, and a nice Super Bowl Sunday!
