      I did not join Hockey-L until a couple of years after it started. I remember thinking at the time that it turned 30 that it seemed like a long time between when I joined it and when I came here, but it wasn't.

        I think he left because someone didn't like his DU game recaps and found him in real life to let him know about it.
        the state of hockey is good

          I remember Puck Swami had issues when registering for Extra, and ended up changing his screen name to puck_swami. That lasted only a brief time until board/admin was able to help him out. I ended up reading one of his first/few posts with the new name, and thought it was somebody else trying to hijack his credibility. I actually went off on him for it, too, until he explained the situation.

            My favorite was probably the threads of the women's DI board where UNHCat07 kept talking about PU getting their desevrings and Coach Nutty being... nutty.
            I am just quoting this because I miss seeing your posts Jon! I figured you were long gone. (barely venture out of Cafe these days)

PS always gave candid assessments of a team's play as he saw it, even though he was a diehard DU fan. As a poster he is missed, I'm sure.
              He was getting a bit weird though. He had this crazy conspiracy theory that when the BTHC became official the Big Ten schools would just schedule each other and DU would go under because of it. Before that though he was about as good as it gets.

                Yeah until the Gophers won then they all started whining. I remember the guy who went frame by frame to explain how Vanek interfered with the goalie on his ridiculous GWG.

                And even though Donald was nuts...Drop the Puck was fun when he mocked "Robot Hockey" and went on his rants about either the Gophers or his own squad UAA.

                  Apparently, he was a former DU or professional player. Whoever took part in the Denver FF Poster's game met him, and said that you'd know who he was if they gave out his name. I never bothered researching it from there, his identity is none of my business.

                      I looked up career stats, and Pooley was 2 games off from being a 0.500 coach. Army was much, much worse.

                          Pooley had a crazy post season run in 1995 and good seasons in 1996, 1999, 2001 and 2003 and he’s been great at Notre Dame as an associate coach. It's possible we were unfair to him.
                          Army’s first season was okay. Everything after that was disappointing.

                            I was thrilled when I found Hockey-L because it was still very difficult to find anything about college hockey here in DC at that time. Just about everyone used their real name there, and I carried that over here. I have wanted for a long time to change it but have been too lazy to attempt to do so. Thankfully, because of the late computer game pioneer whom I shared a name with, it takes some effort to find anything about me on the Internet.
