I've been reading daily since I found this place in December.

Although I’m not active commenting I greatly appreciate both the original content and the community comments. This place is a great companion for the actual games. Thanks for the hard work JP and everyone who contributes!

Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world

Agreed. This has become my favorite website. I liked it pre-SB Nation, but it has really blossomed since the switchover.

…and of course, fan blogs are a lot more fun when the team is good/winning.

Awesome to hear the site’s taking off as a part of SBN … and we haven’t even really gotten started promoting the network. This is just the start J.P.!

If we work hard and make THIS thread the most commented-on thread, will the website collapse on itself?

The keyboard is mightier.
