Why are you not posting anythine new lately? Are you on vacation or is there just nothing new? You say you “are way backed up on these” yet nothing is getting posted hardly in the last week or two???

I agree with the gentleman that posted on where have you been lately. There is plenty of news that can be posted and someone has been MIA lately. The selects are going on in Rochester among other things going on.

Wait…

You guys are complaining?

Keep in mind that, in its slowest couple of weeks, this blog is still worth a lot more than what you’re paying to read it.

Well I agree with bciskie but when in the heck has he been the last two weeks? If he is on vacation then fine but there is plenty of stuff to report on, that is all.

What exactly is the “plenty of stuff” that he is missing?
Other than the Ivan Hlinka going on in a couple weeks there really isn’t anything, unless you think he should be reporting on USHL camps, which he has done.

I just think that him saying that “he is way backed up on commits” means that he has a lot of other things to report, yet we are getting nothing new except for 3 new commits?? Not complaining, but curious. When he makes a comment like that, yet does not follow up, I think we have the right to question it.

I love what he does and no where was I complaining. If you read my first post on here I was only asking if he was on vacation or something since he said he was so backed up yet nothing new was being posted. Not once did I complain. I was only asking a question!

southernmnscout, you may think you aren’t complaining but it certainly comes across that way. Big time. The guy does this for little to no pay. While I may not agree with everything he writes, I think he deserves to kick back at this time of year and take longer breaks if he chooses. You don’t pay a dime for what he does here so I think you should quit bellyaching and just be happy for what you get.

Maybe you should re-read my original post. ALL I DID WAS ASK IF HE WAS ON VACATION OR WHY THERE WAS NOTHING NEW WHEN HE SAYS HE WAS SO BACKED UP.

Ignore other people’s interpretation of the intent of your question. The interweb is full of people who attach their own emotional states onto statements (or questions in this case) made by others. They think they can divine your intent through the ether.

The proliferation of blogs on the college hockey landscape shows quite clearly that any hole in coverage will ultimately be picked up by someone else. If Chrissie was to quit tomorrow there’d be another weak blog picking up what he does within a week. Pretty much the same for ANY other blogger and/or mainstream media person.

Writing about hockey on a blog (or for that matter in a newspaper) is something anyone with an interest could do passably.

C’mon Chris, you’re late on some real doozies!!
