JJ,

Every morning I have looked forward to your blogs and the ensuing discussion and debates going back and forth. While I seldom participated in the discussions due to work commitments etc, there are some very knowledgeable fans here.

I just want to give you a big thank you for your insights and a job well done. From one huge Bobby Orr fan to another, all the best on your new gig!!!

THANKS!!!

One last GIF. I'll see you on the Twitter.

Good luck with your new endeavor John you will be missed on this thread. You always provided great insights on the Hawks and the NHL.

All the best and can't believe I've been reading your blogs for 6 years!
You will be missed and all I can say is a big THANK YOU!!

Best of luck, JJ. Don't be a stranger.

You'll be missed my friend!

It's a bummer to read this news.

Loved reading your insight over the years.

When does the new endeavor start?

Congrats JJ. You have always been a stand-up writer, honest and fair but most importantly respectful and insightful.

This is a huge loss for HB but I'm super happy for you and will miss the chats and sharing of information that we have done over the years.

I'll be sure to follow your new project and I wish you all the best.

Take care!

Pete

Thank you for everything John. Your insight and wit are unmatched. Fantastic writing with a terrific sense of timing and humour. Take care and best of luck in the future.

All the best JJ....when the Hawks and Canucks were battling (2009 & 2010) before they finally beat your boys (barely) in 2011 we had some good "conversations"

, good luck in your future endeavours , it was always a pleasure reading your bloggs and I liked how you remained hyper critical even if the Hawks were playing well most of the time.

JJ,

From a long-time lurker and rare poster, thank you for the quality journalism over the past 8 years. Your balanced coverage has helped smooth out the highest of highs and the lowest of lows over the past 8 years, although the highs have been pretty spectacular.

Best of luck! Enjoyed the insight and conversations over the years!
HB won't be the same without you! Look forward to following you on the new site!

All the best in your new endeavour JJ! Your insight, passion and logical methods of breaking down hockey is top notch and will be missed here.

Best of luck JJ!!!
Thanks for everything you have done for us Hockey Fans!!!
