Yesterday afternoon, I got some pretty interesting news that I wanted to pass along. NBC Sports.com has asked me to write a weekly, "blog-like" column on the NHL for the network's new sports Web site. My first column will appear by next Monday morning at the latest, and you can expect something new from me every Monday thereafter for the balance of the season.
I'm excited about the opportunity, and flattered that they thought to ask. That they did is directly attributable to readers who have stuck with me for a number of years now. Thanks for your support.


Great news Eric. Looking forward to reading your post every Monday with my coffee in hand.
Congrats from the four of us at On Frozen Blog.
That’s awesome! Congrats on a well-deserved gig!
Eric,
Very sincere congratulations on this tribute to all the work you’ve put in here, creating something out of nothing. If not for you, I wouldn’t be doing what I do over at SR.
Ta,
Humbling us once again with your omni-blogness. Congratulations, Eric. This is something you greatly deserve.
This is a victory for passionate hockey fans everywhere.
Good on ya, Eric.
Congratulations on your contract with NBC! Now a wider audience will have access to your excellent writing on the worlds best sport.
Congrats!
I’m guessing you are now known as TBM [The Bellowing Moose]?! If so, that’s a great handle.
Congrats, Eric. I’m looking forward to the blog, and keep up the great work on NHL and specifically Caps coverage!
