Hello Zack,
As my friend and illustrious colleague HawkinMontreal stated, I have arrived from the Blackhawks.com boards. Ned asked if we would like our own branch or super-thread or whatever you might call it. I said that would be awesome on top of a "custom skin" if you will. He may not have received my reply and Armageddon could occur there at any minute.
Like HIM, I have a great rep there (along with almost 25,000 posts). We had a good thing going over there since at least 2009. It's been fun. We hope to continue what we had there. It was special.
Thanks much Zack!
"Gig"
