Clearly, the solution is to go sass Lowtax again and get banned again, and write it before you re-reg.

Harding officially retired a few weeks ago, I think.

He did and it was sad. Gotta hand it to the guy to even make it to the NHL while suffering from MS, let alone becoming a loving starting goaltender.

I know an article came out saying Harding was expected to retire when his contract ended, does anybody have a source saying he officially did?

You should know I actually looked forward to your essay posts, and I'm probably far from the only one.

Congrats VJeff, as that managed to pass 40,000 words that qualifies as a short novel or a very long novella.

A lesser man would have eaten the ban over this absurd toxx, but instead you ate the ban and ventured forward and finished. Well done sir I'm glad it was good and I'm glad it's complete.

There's a couple more things I wanna do before this winds down for good, including a postscript and talking about :siren: Bonus Content :siren: , but first I just wanted to reply to some of the posts here.

It didn't make them a whole lot harder and honestly, it would've felt weirder to not mention this season on the ones I had a chance to, at least in passing. I dunno if I'm gonna go back and do it for all of them, since there's probably not a whole lot of extra material there, but it's something to consider.

There's a lot I would do for goalies. But I WILL NOT write an essay for Dubnyk! I might write an essay for Dubnyk.

And, thanks to everybody who left complimentary posts. I'm really glad you guys enjoyed this. :)

Those essays were really good and informative. If you wanted to get a new fan into hockey I think those essays would be an awesome resource for getting them up to speed with prominent goaltenders and their careers around the league, and are the kind of thing you'd wish you had for other key players.

40,000 is the standard length generally used to indicate when a novella turns into a novel so that's impressive. If this were a research paper it would be in the 120 page range. And to think you did all this for free and without academic or career benefit simply so you didn't have to spend $10 to re-register on an internet message board.

At the start I was ready to help him out on a technicality, too. But he went ahead and wrote the whole thing. More than the whole thing, really, since the toxx only called for a few thousand words and not what we got.

I'll be upfront with you guys, I was a little scared that if I didn't get them done by the end of the SCF, I was gonna be facing ether a months long probation or an outright permaban. So, that kinda helped motivate me to get them done. :v:
