Welcome back to The Morning After The Night Before! It has been a very difficult two-and-a-bit weeks, as our parent company introduced a two-factor authentication system with no advanced notice which resulted in several of your more handsome NM writers to be locked out.
From my own perspective, I couldn’t do what I wanted to do - write. I was desperate to do so, but couldn’t. This is why I will never support the players during a lockout situation - either you want to play, in which case take the deal from the NHL which allows you to do so - or you want the money, in which case you’re dead to me.
