Welcome to the New Year folks!

Well this is a tad over due, but Happy New Year and all that.

Now, I know what you're thinking... wasn't this blog supposed to be part of a class project and seeing as though it is now January and the class in question has ended... why hasn't the blog? Perhaps like some hideous monster in a horror film, it simply can not be stopped. No matter what local police or even the US Army may try, this blog keeps on tickin', leaving in its wake a tangled mass of destruction that would put Godzilla to shame.

Or maybe it's because, unlike my classmates, I just have nothing better to do with my time.

I like the first reason better because it's less depressing from my end, but choose whichever you prefer. Honestly though, who doesn't like a good rampaging monster?

So, Dr. Ray's class has come and gone but the blog remains. I must thank Dr. Ray for putting me onto this site and giving me the encouragement to keep going with it. If I wasn't trying so hard to graduate from college following this semester, I would love to take another of his classes. Ah but the real world beckons me closer with its cold, shriveled up hand and when the real world comes a-callin, you best get your tush in motion. At least that's what I've always heard anyway.

You may have noticed one or two changes to the site over the past few weeks. The biggest being that I once again update it regularly. I know! Having free time is wonderful and nothing leads to more free time then being unemployed and on break from school. I imagine this is what heaven must be like.

Philosophizing aside, back to the site. I've also added features on Upcoming Games, Standings and Team Leaders. I will try and keep these updated as often as possible but each contains a link to Yahoo!Sports, where you will find up-to-date information as well as some of the best hockey coverage the Interweb has to offer. There are certainly worse places to pass the time online then Yahoo!Sports. They should make that their slogan: "Yahoo! Sports... Well...there are certainly worse places to pass your time..." I should have majored in Marketing.

Lastly, you'll now notice at the bottom of every post, you now have the option to share your opinion, without having to take the time to comment. Simply check "Inglourious" if you liked it, "Not Inglourious" if you didn't and "Feh" if you had no opinion whatsoever. You can vote on the topic, the writing, the content, whatever. Use this rating system however you see fit. I'm talking to you the millions.... AND MILLIONS of readers who shift through my nonsense on a near-daily basis. And for that... I thank you. You couldn't see it, but I bowed to you just now. Once I figure out how to post video, I'll get that up there for you.

All right. That's all for now. Hopefully this year brings wonderful bounties to hockey fans everywhere, especially those who follow a certain orange and black clad squad...
