Now it’s time to say goodbye…

As Paul noted, as of today On the Forecheck has moved, to join the Sports Blog Nation network of sites, as their representative covering the Nashville Predators. I hope to build a locally-focused hub there for Preds coverage that will also be part of a broader network, and I’m sure I’ll be in contact here quite often as well, either linking to stories, participating in the comments, etc. You can find the new site at (the appropriately named) OnTheForecheck.com (now why didn’t I think of that a long time ago?).
I really want to thank Paul for allowing me this stage for the last several months, and wish the gang here all the best going forward. As many of you already know, Paul is a class act, and an incredibly generous person to work with. I couldn’t believe some of the stuff he dug up, then sent along to me with a quick, “hey, would you like to run with this?” For all of us bloggers, sometimes inspiration is hard to come by, and having a batting practice fastball lobbed down the middle for you makes for a nice booster!
Thanks to Alanah too for being so helpful as I toddled my way along here in the early going; a stats geek like myself can be a pain to deal with (”how do I get these tables presenting properly!”), but she was always quick to lend a hand. I wish the best of luck to everyone here, and like I said earlier, I’ll see you around.

Hey, Dirk, don’t let the (penalty box) door hit you in the ass on your way out.

On The Forecheck has been a well done blog. Keep up your great work. The Preds are a good team with a very good G.M. and a super coach. Your fans need & deserve a good blog like yours.

I obviously don’t agree with your choice of teams, but thought you always wrote good, well-reasoned pieces. I will also miss seeing the photo of the back of your jersey. Best wishes for continued success.

Can’t say I’m anything close to a Preds fan, but you do a good job. I’ll continue to read at your new site as well.
