Rocky Mountain News To Fold

Sad news from Denver, as the Rocky Mountain News has announced it will be folding tomorrow. Not being a resident of Colorado, I'm sure there are others who can chronicle the local impact much better than I can. I do know, though, that the RMN's hockey coverage will be sorely missed. I've long felt that Avalanche fans were incredibly lucky to have two top-notch papers covering their team. Sadly, it's now down to one.
I wish Rick Sadowski, Aaron J Lopez (who I think may have already left, as I haven't noticed his name on any recent articles) and the rest of the RMN staff all the best and offer my sincere appreciation for many years of excellence.

Yes, it’s a sad day in Denver indeed. I’ve been a subscriber to the Rocky since my family moved back to Colorado in 1993. In addition to the Avs writers, a tip of the hat to Pat Rooney who has covered the DU Pioneers hockey team.

sadly, they won’t.
Hyphens cause writers more trouble than any other form of punctuation, except perhaps commas.

:(
I’ve always been a Post man myself, but I started reading the Rocky when I was in high school (yes, I actually read the Denver Post before then, in middle school). I miss it already. 150 years. :(
I will miss being able to read a little more down to earth reporting of the team.
Now we’ll be left with just Dater and his muppets.
MHH: Like the Avs organization, we’ve now officially lost our minds.

The Post has been running/operating the News for a while now. I was surprised it took this long.
Never trust the lunch lady.

I must say for once this season Dater was classy.
