*Phew*
That’s really all I have to say.

–EDIT 8:52PM MT–
I’ve had some more time to absorb today’s news that Steve Yzerman is the new GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning.  I was stunned this morning when I woke up to find the announcement on Twitter.  Stunned, but honestly, not overly surprised.  I think that we all knew …

Dear Detroit Red Wings,
Thank you.
Thank you for another great season, and memories.

 game recap 7 May 2010

You don’t need to make history tonight, Detroit.  One game, one chapter at a time, you just have to start writing it, not complete the book.

I work in publishing.  I’m a publishing nerd.  That said, here’s some non-Red Wings specific news for anyone who’s interested.  Both of these sound pretty cool.  Also: 244 player profiles with 400 4/c photographs for $19.95?  Nice.
