We pause for a quasi-serious moment to thank the writers at the Post-Gazette, and to tip our hats to their online sports gurus, editor Dan Gigler and hockey savant Seth Rorabaugh. In the March 15 Empty Netters, they write: "While we were pretty proud of our coverage of the arena deal here at the PG, we'd be remiss not to give credit to our chief competitor, The Carbolic Smoke Ball. They have some great stories here, here, here and here." We may not act like it, but we very much appreciate it!
