Your eyes don’t deceive you. I decided to come back for the holidays and give it one more “old college try” on the Holiday Hater Report.

As the Stanley Cup finals begin, my road here comes to an end.

That’s right…we’re going back to the old format for one last time.

In this week’s edition: The Hump-day Hater, HCMT Floating “A”, Tap/Drop, Head-to-head, It’s debatable, and a Barrel of Monkeys.

Due to schedule conflicts this past week, I have not been able to gain sufficient content for this week’s column. It will return next week.

In this week’s edition: the Hump-day hater, Tap of the stick/drop of the gloves, Not so fast!, Barrel of Monkeys, and a Killer Whale.

Due to the large amount of work I will be doing during the final two weeks of the academic collegiate year, the Report will be down for that time.

Inside this week’s report: the Hump-day Hater, Tap of the Stick/Drop of the Gloves, I did what?, and a final Stanley’s Dishwasher.

Tap of the Stick/Drop of the Gloves, Head-to-head, and a new Killer Whale are inside this week’s edition of the Hump-day Report.

Some brand new segments are inside the April Fool’s Day edition of the Hump-day Report for your reading pleasure.

The new and improved Hump-day Report is ready to go. More information and the inaugural column are inside.

Over the next few days I will be reconstructing my weekly column to expand its boundaries. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Now, folks, I’m aware it is not actually hump-day, but instead Tuesday. Due to schedule conflicts, I won’t be able to get the HH Report up Tuesday night or at all Wednesday…so please enjoy an early edition…

Toews and Staal, Briere, Crosby’s groin, FSN, an old friend returning to the league, and much more…inside this week’s HH Report.

The shorthanded Flyers, careless goalies, Lindy Ruff, Mike Milbury (take three), and a pun that makes even me look good: all that and more in this week’s HH Report.

Doug Weight, the Avs and Wings, Jeff Reed, NHL.com, Jordan Staal, and something about a coaching change: all that and more, inside this week’s famed HH Report.

Scandinavia, Mike Milbury, ESPN (take six), a pair of #1’s, the one and only Sean Avery, and much more: inside this week’s HH Report.

What do Paul Steigerwald, Bobby Holik, a well-known rodent, and ESPN have in common?

They, and many more, are all topics in this week’s HH Report.

It might not be who you’re thinking of. Here’s a hint: they’re the only real “beast” in the division.

Don’t believe me? Have a look.

Due to the lack of NHL news and play (and my inability to attain Versus…so no All Star coverage), there will be no HH Report this week.
