Thank you for such a fantastic season. Andrew, when your playing days are done, I believe you could be a sports writer. Your blog has been very well written and most interesting to follow. Will miss you in the neighborhood, but I hope you get your shot at the big show! Thanks again and best of luck!!!

What a ride it’s been. Have a fantastic, but short, off-season….hope the Caps give you your shot this fall!

I know it would sell like hotcakes, too. Maybe for your charity of choice? You have an easygoing writing style, and I’m looking forward to reading more next season, and to watching you wherever you play. :)

The insights were nearly as good as the Bears’ season, and I’m sorry that they’re both finished.

The past two years have been just as incredible to be a Hershey Bears fan as a player. To be in the Giant Center that night, is something that I truly will never forget!

If that was the last time we see you in a Hershey uniform, I’m proud of the enormous contributions you made the past three years. Good luck as you continue to strive to play full-time in the NHL. Hopefully, you won’t have to wait long to hoist Lord Stanley, I just hope its in the red-white-blue of a Capitals sweater!

Thank you Gordo for the memories as a Hershey Bear!!!

Your line about the inner 8-year-old cracked me up, as my son just turned 8 and made the feeling especially easy to visualize. I’ll tell him about it when he gets home from camp!

Many thanks to A. Gordon for his contributions and to RMNB for launching the career of a future hockey writer. No doubt that this partnership has increased exposure for both parties, and that is a great thing.

I have one question only. Will you be back with the Bears next season? Thanks for all the great moments this year and especially championship night. Wow what emotion from the fans from before the team came out to practice all the way through the final buzzer. It will not be forgotten. Thanks for your part in all of it. Congratulations !!!!!

In my years of Bears games attendance, I have never felt so connected with the guys on the ice. The fact that you guys enjoyed playing together was obvious during the pre-game warmups and I am convinced that those displays of commeraderie were contagious with regard to the fans in the stands! You guys are awesome and I wish you and all of your teammates the best in the future. Thanks for all of your hard work and thanks for the memories!

Hope to see you, Neuvy, Alzner, and Carlson in a Caps uniform next year.
