On Wednesday, Ilya Kovalchuk met with team officials and general manager Don Waddell to discuss his contract situation. Two weeks ago, the Thrashers offered Kovalchuk an eight year deal for $80 million dollars, or ten million a season. Since Waddell hasn’t heard anything on the latest offer the Atlanta Thrashers offered Kovalchuk, Waddell most likely told Kovalchuk that he will be traded in the near future. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=4884245 ⁷

I've enjoyed building the date pages for the past year on Mahalo, I think for as long as Mahalo serps link to date pages the visitors are guaranteed to be served up a quality link.

The date pages are so broad that the only niche they really serve are the curios people who are perhaps interested in history, which it appears are few and far between on the web. So the pages don't serve as the greatest draws of traffic, which is a frustrating struggle as the manager of these pages, building them was a noble service, and now that they are built there is little more that can be done to them, unless for some reason I decide to go more in depth with the daily timeline.

I got to thinking tonight about doing similar pages except for only 1 particular niche? Daily pages, just like the dates, except for only 1 topic, I tried it for hockey just to see how it would turn out. I thought it turned out pretty good.

It makes me wonder what the traffic possibilities are for this throughout the season, perhaps with a blog and a twitter account to promote these archives, they could reach a large daily audience among hockey fans - Who tend to be a larger and more profitable demographic than history fans. Maybe I'll try it for a couple more days, but certainly something I'll try to decide on before October 1st, when the regular season begins.

Spent last night at a friends drinking exotic punches, playing poker and watching the Canada/US World Junior game, which was perhaps one of the great games the tournament has had to offer. America was winning 3-0, Canada came back to tie it and eventually blow out the States 7-4 thanks to a John Tavares hat trick and this save by Dustin Tokarski.

Another day, another archived list of the top social news stories, here are the top producers for December 4th. I thought the Roger Ebert review of Expelled was interesting, so I went ahead and updated the Mahalo page on that movie.

Pretty interesting NHL Ad campaign, 4 clips, you get Crosby, Lundqvist, Kane and Phaneuf. I've begun a new Mahalo Archive for "NHL Advertisements", there have been so many great ones of the year I am sure a great collection could be built. I generally only like advertisements as long as they are marketing to me, in this case it's hockey. I'm looking forward to the upcoming season, my Montreal Canadians are looking strong, it been a long time since the Habs have been favourites going into a season.
