In case I don't get the chance I want to wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving here in the US. As fans of the NHL we have little to be thankful for in regards to our sport.

Last night the band U2 took the stage three times on Saturday Night Live in New York. Vertigo, Sometimes you can't make it on your own and I will follow were all performed with a passion that is unique to U2. I hope you got to see it.
