re: #264 klys (maker of Silmarils)

This is OT and related to a kerfluffle that happened in the hockey world, but I know there’s at least one or two Lizards besides me who like hockey, so I’m going to link it. If you don’t like hockey but enjoy a human interest type story, it’s probably also worth a look.

I was a big fan of John Scott before, but after reading this I wish my team would trade for him and bring him back again.

Thanks klys. What a story. I like sports, but it sure has some sides to it that are unlike any other ‘business’ and can be so heart wrenching.

As you know Columbus has had a real tough year and we traded our supposed #1 player for a top defensive player. (CBJ #1 center Ryan Johansen in exchange for Nashville defenseman Seth Jones) There was a lot of groaning from the fans, but another group was for it. So far it seems to be working out for both teams. Johansen was often criticized for dogging it and uninspired play and a lot of the fans wanted a top defender and said that was more our need. The Blue Jackets have been playing better, but were so far off in the points there is really no way to make the playoffs. Sigh.
