Columbus GM To be Away...

[ColumbusGM]

Guys, this is the worst news I've had in a long while, but sadly, it looks as though I will be away for an extended period of time on a training exercise with the Army.

I leave tomorrow for Wainright Alberta, and am not expected back home until the 21st of May.

I have made arrangements with the Ottawa Sentators General Manager Dan Presseau to take care of my lines, he knows how I want them done, and we both operate fairly similarly.

I assure all of you that if it were up to me, I'd be here doing my lines, and not spending a month in the d**ned land of Wainright. I apologize that my absence will hurt the enjoyability of the playoffs via Press Conferences, and statements, but I couldn't get out of the work.

To those still in the playoffs, I wish you luck, and to those out of the playoffs, best of luck with your drafting, and I hope you enjoy following the playoffs.

I'll be online as soon as I can if Wainright.

Again, I apologize.

-Columbus GM, Greg Stack

No worries at all, my friend. Good luck out in Wainright and good luck against the LA Kings!!!

[Detroit Cherni]

Wainright. That's almost worse than being sent to Afghanistan. Have fun.

He's not going to like what he sees when he returns. Wait! The Canadians have an Army?
