To the survivors: Happy New Year y’all!

Honestly, there’s really not going to be a lot to this post.

(Other than, of course, the photo selection on your immediate right from NBC Sports.com fabulous pictorial “Icy Hot: Ice Girls from around the NHL” that can be viewed in its entirety HERE.)

Then again, why should the first post of 2011 be any different than the majority of missives in 2010, right?

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year’s and say a very heartfelt “thank you” while I’m here. Thank you to every single reader who came through the turnstyles last year. Thank you for helping us set yet another traffic record for the month of December, and for a year as a whole that was completely off the charts traffic-wise compared to 2009. It was one helluva year for CFT, and the traffic will only continue to grow because of all of you who somehow manage to find your way back here.

And to answer your question, no, that was not a subliminal message (call us) to any potential sponsor (email us) that may be lurking in the audience (call and/or email us).

Anyway, thanks again for all of your support. It’s truly appreciated.

Hope all y’all -- yes, even edgy and fake edgy -- had a great and safe New Year’s Eve, and that a prosperous New Year awaits. Oh, and may your hangovers be manageable and non-life threatening. Can’t forget that.
