Last week, I gave Braden Holtby his due in feature for The New York Times that appeared on their website. Over the past week, I’ve also contributed to their game recaps. But today is the big one: I’m in print for the first time.

The article focuses on Andre Burakovsky and Evgeny Kuznetsov. They’ve played some good games lately, which has lifted the pressure off Washington’s stars. But you already know that.

This is giant link to the article.

In a funny twist, my story received a half page spread in the New York edition of the paper. The Washington edition, sadly, does not contain the giant photo of the Burracuda.

If you’re interested, you can pick up (or peak at) a copy of paper at your local Starbucks or any other place that sells things. The article’s on page B10.

And yeah, I just wrote a post about myself. Peter and Ian were both swamped with work, so they allowed me to celebrate my achievement in the best way possible: incredibly awkwardly, just like Andre Burakovsky.

Also, this is embarrassing.
