There Goes My Relative Anonymity
When The Hockey News asked me to contribute to their web site as an Avalanche blogger, how could I say no? There I'll be posting occasional articles full of questionable assertions and blatant inaccuracies, at least until I have a mental breakdown. If you really don't get enough of my blathering here, be sure to check out THN for more.

I saw where Dirk (The Forechecker) was tabbed as the Nashville guy. I looked at THN’s blogroll and noticed they didn’t have a Avs guy yet. I remember thinking “I wonder who they’ll get, probably Thomas…”
I said all that to say this, congrats.
PS – I still expect you to respond to emails in the timely two-week timespan of which you are accustomed. No slacking because you’re approaching legitimaticy.

If legitimacy means a 40-hour job, law school and two blogs, I want none of it.

Wait a second – THAT’S your last name? What the hell, man?
I'm sorry, Mr. Hossa, but I'm afraid we can't be friends anymore. Why? Because I hate you.

it’s true – there’s a law in Kentucky that everyone must have the initials JD.

initials?
I thought the law was that everyone in Kentucky everyone had to have the same last name?

I’ll be looking forward to read more of your general blog-rants in the future. Nothing beats sitting in your mum’s basement in your underwear, reading what other people in their mum’s basement, who are also in their underwear, write.
Does this mean you’re next in line to date Dater? He likes celebrities!

BUT, is this going to slow down the “Top Avs of all time” listings even more?

Expectations
You know by including “epic game threads” in your signature on there, we’re going to have to get game threads up to 200 more regularly in case some new people drop by. If they come for that exciting Colorado vs. Florida game and see 30 comments…...

Observation
I wanna say something about this that cracks me up. Joe has ONE mega-post (The All-Time 19 List) that he’s going to milk for 2+ months, a middle of the week thread where he talks about how he isn’t going to post anything and we all comment to the tune of 50-75 quips, a one-week vacation that last over two, and THEN The Hockey News comes-a-calling to get his unique take on the Colorado Avalanche.
I guess what I mean is, the standards really ARE lower in Kentucky…

But not the lowest. Mississippi and Arkansas consistently rank lower than Kentucky in just about everything.

Avs made it to the second round of the playoffs and a swift, merciless elimination at the hands of the most hated team in hockey
Fixed that for you. Congrats Joe Dunham.
