The Morning Skate Says Goodbye for Thursday, April 1st

Morning kiddos! Hope you're all doing well today. Going up to to 14 degrees today in Montreal before some ridiculous mid-20's on the long weekend. Well that's where the good news stops, cause the rest of TMS today is pretty ugly. First, we have the ugliness of a 2-1 loss to the WhalerCanes last night. Basically fell apart in the 3rd, leaving the Big Fat Wale to the wolves after Cam Ward stoned us through two. Or we just can't score, your choice. Meh.

But the bigger news this morning is that this is the last-ever Morning Skate. The schedule of yours truly is about to change dramatically and it just won't be possible for TMS to continue. As you might remember, TMS is currently pursuing his Master's Degree. As of next week, we are quitting our job (that we were doing part-time) to concentrate on writing our thesis full-time. And from previous academic endeavours, we know that we have to regiment our schedule to be able to write the tens of thousands of words required. And our best, most productive writing time is actually in the afternoons and evenings. So as we will be in the library just about every weeknight, that means that we will have to sleep in in the mornings. Thus, TMS just won't be able to be written. The Royal We is dead.

Not to worry, HF29 is not going anywhere. I'll still have time for all the half-naked song parody previews I love to do so much, there just won't be a TMS to greet you at breakfast or when you get to work. But please continue to comment on the previous day's post. We've built a great group of commentors here and it would be a shame if you guys couldn't talk to each other and rant about the suckiest team that ever did suck.

See you in the afternoons.
