Fantastic & Fabulous

Unable to see very well during the last two weeks or so, I have been listening and listening to talk radio via the web.
Two words kept popping up when Mike Babcock was being interviewed and they were fantastic and fabulous when describing everything Red Wings.
Well, I want to steal those words and use them when describing my health at this time. It has been a very rough two weeks for me and I had doubts about my vision returning to normal. I want to thank everyone for their prayers, good wishes and the hundreds of emails I received from KK readers, MSM’s, and those involved in the game. My health is very close to 100% and I feel I can start to contribute to KK once again.
Hopefully Alanah can sleep the whole weekend and catch up on some well deserved rest. Many of you have witnessed what she has done to keep KK alive during my absence and I wanted to publicly thank her for “keeping the news coming”!

Thanks for the nice words, Paul. And welcome back!
(And thank you, too, rinkrat).

Paul, I am so glad that you are feeling much better! You owe Alanah big-time, she did an awesome job while you were recovering.
All is right again in the hockey world

Very good news that you are back and returning to 100%. You were missed.
Alanah did a terrific job and deserves some kind of award or trophy. At the very least she should be allowed to dress-up and walk the red carpet. (pics, please)
or maybe…
A KK paid Caribean cruise..!

Paul,
Glad to hear you’re recovering nicely. Now, just keep taking good care of yourself. We hockey junkies need you!
RE: Alanah’s “reward”—Perhaps she’d like some of those official 2007-08 Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup Champions RBK shoes to wear on the red carpet (sorry Alanah, couldn’t resist).

Hi Paul, good to see your feeling better. I know how bad migraines can get. Try to take it easy for a while.
Alanah, fantastic job!!!!!
Thank you so much.

Paul, I was traveling and didn’t hear that you were having health problems. I’m glad that you’re doing a bit better now. I hope your back to 100% soon!

Thanks everyone for your support. I was touch and go for a period of time and do hope this is all behind me.

I’m really glad you’re back, Paul, and even happier that you’re feeling well.
A big thanks to Alanah, too!

Glad to have you back Paul. Too bad the Canucks don’t have an Alanah on their roster. They’d be a much deeper, more talented team.

Way to go Alanah during this period of keen interest in the league and the site.
Welcome back Paul, hope recovery continues to 100% of the pre-lockout level.

Good to hear you are on the mend, Paul.

Ah, Big Boss is back as the king of Blogger Mount Everest, though Alanah did a Sherpa’s job of carrying the heavy workload while you were out. I’m so happy to see you back I’m metaphorical and stuff, Paul

Best wishes on a full recovery, Paul.
I hope you had a chance to watch games 5 & 6, if not live, at some point later on.
Keep up the good work, yourself, Alanah, and Bill have done a great job.

Awww...maaan! We had the run of the place: getting drunk and barfing up Cheetos on the carpet of KK. Ah well, it was fun for a while....LOL!
Glad to have you back, Paul K.! Speedy Recovery and Happy Wishes for your recovery.
I think Alanah’s reward would be to have a Luongo-autographed box of chocolates and a Luongo-autographed game-used goalie stick.

Geez… the Luongo toys are good, but I’m pretty hooked on that Caribbean cruise idea someone mentioned.
