        Something "Smith," right? It's hovering in the blind spot. A really nice guy; sort of the hockey-l you. I think I may have met him in Placid once.

        I got to know Machnik and a quite few others through hockey-l. My ex-GF of many moons ago still subscribes but it's all but dead.

          I only recall this happening once and remember thinking, "Meh, it's the WCHA. Those guys are animals." I remember some attempted sh-t talk between BU, BC, Maine and UNH when they were the Power 4 of Hockey Least, but I could never keep straight who was who so that kind of spoiled the joke.

            I also didn't officially join right away and/or my original moniker was Slaughter - hard to remember that far back.

            Really miss hockey postings from the DU fan that quit several years ago due to really uncalled for personal attacks. Name started with a, "D"?

            The series threads were often locked from too many posts, especially anything UW/UND/UM and to lesser extent SCSU when Hartigan got robbed (no he didn't), and anything BC/UHN was sure to be epic.

            Polls used to matter.

            eaglebunny? Holy s**t that guy.

            Wasn't there a UCONN or CommAveHusky that passed? I might be completely wrong on that so don't want to send up a false flag.

            [edit] I just realized I'm going on 19 years officially, and I now remember that I first visited not long after I was married which was August, 1997.

              The Pinheads were a lot of fun when UNH was making deep NCAA runs and still not winning a title. Every team in Hockey East was magically the dirtiest team ever. Good times. I still miss hearing about Darth Platt and the Skating Mother Theresa's.
              CAH is still with us. Which is both good and bad because I owe him many a beer.
              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.

                Does the one guy still send very detailed UMass-Dartmouth box scores? That's the only thing I remember from my limited time there.

                  Puck Swami was a DU poster who really added a lot to the board, but quit after I believe a player/player's family member took offense to something that PS posted here. 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.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                          Weirdest thing about 2003 around here was it seemed Easterners were for the Gophers, Westerners for UHN.
