5YA: CREDITS

Thus concludes the 5YA series (someone else can do Keenangate if they want...). Much credit and thanks for this whole debacle (well, the debacle is mine) goes to The Hockey News for refreshing my memory, Barry Meisel's "Losing the Edge" for some background and some reminders, Frank Brown's "Broadway Blues" for a couple of six-years-ago facts and notes, the New York Rangers 1994-95 Media Guide for a lot of the numbers, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's killer archive for around-the-league stuff, the New York Daily News's "Reign Men" 6/16/94 supplement for the box scores. Special thanks to listfolks Carole Sussman for digging some facts out that I'd misplaced and for a coupla URLs, and to Anthony Mastantuoni for the indirect idea.

Very special thanks to that aforementioned hockey team for being the one that finally did it.

Thanks to those who read it for reading it, to those who didn't read it for putting up with it, to those who joined in for the joy their memories brought me, and to those who sent kind words for just that.

I'll eventually put all these (they only started Feb. 7, remember) together in one big file. If anyone's interested, let me know, though it might be a while, and it'll probably end up on my web page eventually anyway. Ed.note: Like this, kinda...

Hope y'all enjoyed the ride a second time. Maybe we can do it again in 2K4...
