Lots of people to thank, but think of this as "see you later" rather than "goodbye".
On March 17th, 2009, John Fontana and I started up this blog. I had been writing for Bolts Blog previous to that, and John had his own blog at that time as well. James Mirtle, now a Toronto Maple Leafs beat writer for the Globe and Mail, had recruited John to run the SB Nation Tampa Bay Lightning and had suggested another person to write with him. But John chose me to be his partner in crime, despite never having spoken with me before.
