It's a crazy week in the NHL, with the trade deadline approaching.

I thought I'd take this chance to welcome you into The Hockey News Community. If you're new to this section of TheHockeyNews.com, it's a forum where you can make your own posts and respond to others.

Here are the steps to making your own posts:

- Scroll to The Hockey News Community on the homepage (below THN.com's latest stories)

- Click "create new post"

- Add a post title and your content

- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "create post"

And you're all set! It's even better if you create an account as well, by clicking "login" at the top right corner of the page.

You can also go to each of our team and theme sites for specific communities there as well.
