I just wanted to credit my father with creating the excellent new banner that now adorns my site. He is also responsible for the new image of yours truly in the "About Me" section. The man does great work. Thanks again dad.
On a side note, did anyone see Pronger's huge hit on Caps defenseman Mike Green? Its a huge, surprisingly legal hit from a guy with a crappy reputation. If you missed it here is the best view of it I can find.
I'm a 20 year old guy from Buffalo, NY. I go to school at the University of Vermont. I live and die by the drop of the puck and decided to share some of my opinions about hockey. Feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
