I know it's been a while since I've written anything on these pages. It's just that I've been back on Long Island for a couple of days to spend some time with my family -- something I haven't been able to do since last Christmas. I'm headed back to Washington sometime this weekend. Wherever you are, I hope you're enjoying the holiday with family.
In the meantime, I have filed a story for the Sporting News. Earlier this week, in between periods of a Rangers-Islanders game, I heard Stan Fischler mention that if the Islanders couldn't work out a deal for a new arena with Nassau County, then they would have to consider moving to Brooklyn. Click here for my thoughts on that. I've also filed another column on the firing of Caps head coach Glen Hanlon, which should be posted momentarily.
