Hi guys

Jim from Blueshirt Banter here. First off, let me express my condolences to all of you over the loss of Derek Boogaard. We have a saying amongst Ranger fans "Once a Ranger, always a Ranger", but quite honestly, that doesn't really apply with Derek Boogaard. The love and affection you all have for him is overwhelming, and the way you have all been honoring him is just amazing. My heart goes out to all of you, because Ranger fans will never get to know the Derek Boogaard that you did.

In addition to our website, we do a weekly radio show, Blueshirt Banter Radio, on Blog Talk Radio. We are doing a show tonight, and our guest will be Russ Cohen, who covers hockey for XM, and knew Derek pretty well. I'd like to invite all of you to join us tonight, and call in at 646-478-4692 and share your thoughts on Derek. The show starts at 8:30 PM EST. Hope to see you there.
