Of Red Wings-related note early on Monday morning:
- My apologies for the lateness of noting this Tweet from the Red Wings, who wished coach Derek Lalonde a happy 52nd birthday:
Help us wish Newsy a happy birthday! 🥳 pic.twitter.com/uLMkDfbToL

2. And Alex Wood on YouTube posted a 15-minute clip of Red Wings players scoring their first goal with the team in their first games with Detroit:
george, why are you apologizing for not acknowledging a tweet from the wings? who is being let down by this? i’m guessing most of your audience follows the team twitter.
take time off if you need it and don’t feel bad about it.
i wish you’d just post the most interesting stories of the day. even just 2-3 things. or if you feel the need to capture everything, who is asking you to post it seconds after it happens? it can wait for a few hours, i’m sure.
you feel the need to post everything and burn yourself out. i don’t speak for everyone but i check in once or twice a week. you’re trying to raise money for camp and you post so much that your fundraisers get buried within a few hours.
i feel like a dick, but i’m trying to help. the internet has changed. most people get their news from social. you’re writing about getting burned out in august. i’m a hockey news junkie… but i know that it’s august. this is my time to take a breather. i’m not refreshing my feed to see which players are visiting lions camp. i hope no one is coming here to find that info. please take care of yourself.
maybe it’s just me. but i’d like to see you last for the full season instead of getting burned out during the slow periods. no one is asking you to post every article as soon as it comes up. your only competition is the red wings reddit and even they dont post everything.
