Time for a quick time out

Hi folks,

Calling a brief time out this week on this newsletter as I battle U.S. Thanksgiving travel chaos while on the road covering the Winnipeg Jets.

After a couple of days in the Twin Cities, it’s off to Dallas today before wrapping things up this weekend in Chicago.

I’m back on home turf next week and will have plenty of thoughts and tales and the usual nonsense to share when I return to your email inbox on Dec. 1.

Try not to miss me too much!

Take care,

 

Mike McIntyre, Sports columnist
