Holiday Greetings From Around the NHL
As we wrap up the holiday season tomorrow, the cleanup of the mess that has been the last month of our lives will soon commence. For different people that can mean different things. Whether you'll be throwing out the Christmas tree, trying in vain to accomplish your New Year's resolutions, or recovering from a hangover, this week has a different meaning to us all.
One thing that a lot of us will be doing though is sorting through and possibly even throwing out holiday cards. While going through the trash behind NHL headquarters (I know, I live such an exciting life) I found quite a few holiday cards in the dumpsters*. Today, I'll share the text from some of the best holiday cards I found.
(* - by that I mean this is all fictitious, of course)

Gary,
Sorry I couldn't make it to see the New Year. Not all of us are as indestructible and manly as you. Happy holidays!
Yours truly,

Dear Washington,
Hope you have a safe and happy New Year. I'll check out Alex Ovechkin's leg in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to patch him up.
See you then!

P.S. Yes, there's a conspiracy against AO. Crosby 4 life!

Dear Washington,
He doesn't know what he's talking about. There is no conspiracy. It is in the league's best interest to help all of it's teams succeed.
And by succeed we mean Crosby rules. Kidding! I was kidding!
Yours truly,
Gary Bettman
Go Pens!

All,
I hope this message reaches you and yours during this joyous time of year. Best wishes to you in the New Year!
Don't worry, I'll still own you in 2008. How about a toast to a new shutout record?
Sweet dreams,
Pascal Leclaire
