Everybody into the car, we're moving!

Like most the rest of the hockey blogging world, I'm joining the fine folks at Sports Blog Nation....Pensburgh is a great place and I hope to add to it.

TST will always be around, but my new pieces will be on Pensburgh. Thanks to everyone who ever stopped by, commented and gave me fedback. I've enjoyed every moment of it.

Roundtable Talk Part 2

Tony over at The Confluence was nice enough to invite us to participate in another one of his roundtable talks.

So, for a state of Penguins nation, here you go. Our answers are preceeded by (HO), how charming, eh?

Knights of the Round-table

We will continue our 28 profiles in 28 days (hey, no one ever promised it would be one a day) but first here's everything you need to know about the Pens season-to-be....Tony over at The Confluence had a bunch of voices come together for a round table discussion and he honored us with a chance at participating. Here's the thing in it's entirety. Thanks again to Tony and the folks at the MVN for having us.

TST turns 1

We try to be modest, after all this just a simple blog is about hockey but it's about what swirls around the editor's mind. And tonight we just want to briefly mention that this humble blog is now at the point of it's first official anniversary (515 posts ago) with the first real post. So thanks to all the friends and colleagues we've picked up along the way. It may sound lame but we've valued every comment, email, link and reader we've gotten and look forward more solid years to come.

Hidden Gem Blog of the Day

It belongs to Wilkes-Barre Scraton's own, Ben Lovejoy.

Lovejoy is an interesting story; he went un-drafted but has pretty good size and is a stay-at- home type defenseman. He scratched and clawed his way onto the AHL roster in training camp and has carved out a pretty good niche in that lineup.

Lovejoy's blog is hilarious, especially the latest edition where he roasts a bunch of his teammates. A first reaction might be to say he's "well spoken, for a hockey player", but please, dude graduated an Ivy League school we'd expect he knows how to form a sentence or two.

It's always interesting to see the way professional hockey players interact with each other, especially in the AHL where most the players are so young and there's a light-hearted and carefree vibe in the air.

So check it out, you're guaranteed to have a chuckle or two and learn a little more about the personalities of some of the boys, not just the players that play.
