LittleBallofHate Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 OK since we're dragging up "oldies but goodies", I miss Daneyko Is God (DIG) - he was really funny. I remember him posting about getting married and such before he "disappeared" so I'm sure there's other priorities than making me laugh but please come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I remember Quinn01 (or something like that) being pretty active here from about 09-12. There were also a few others as well such as Sterio. Anyone remember Ohmslaw guy? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he went to his fair share of games...had a beer with him multiple times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's enjoying it wherever he is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerrydevil Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 This team has caught my interest, too. It's been fun to watch so far. Tonight the penalties killed them but they still skated pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weekes Head Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Definitely miss some of the old timers. I think I can find the meet up pic we did like 15 years ago somewhere if I really looked. Wish insanity gallops was around more often. Same with mrsheeps. And Don was my man. Still keep in touch with PK on social media. God her posts were the best.

I know this was made as a joke but I actually feel this way too, it's funny to me in this day and age when it's been easier than ever before to watch 5 mins of highlights that the teams and league provide for free of the games if you are too busy to watch. A thing they have been doing for years now so it's nothing even new. Most people are glued to their phones and can login and post once a week/month at the very least and all of a sudden people are coming back out of nowhere cause the team has some good games... Lol. The bandwagon is always open though and we need all the fans we can get but it's still amusing to me.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 This is typical fan behavior though, as far as those who go into hibernation for a while when the team stinks and doesn't have young talented players to get excited about...I watch pretty much no matter what, but just engage myself less emotionally...also won't make as many trips to see my teams in person as I will when they're good. Too hard to spend money on a product that is a hard watch. Just not fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I feel like being a bandwagon fan is one thing, keeping up with a pretty miserable hockey team on a day to day basis via this forum (and the miserable arguments that emanate therefrom) is really only for die-hards and this site reflected that for the last few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Whatever happened to GetReal. Didn't he start using a different name? I don't recall him being banned under the old one. But he was an nj.com/network54 holdover There was also pepperkorn who was just pretty much an a$$hole and I don't think even really watched hockey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Message boards in general are just not as popular as they used to be. Now with twitter and FB groups, it is much easier for people to join there than it is to go online and find this board. Same thing happened with a very popular game worn jersey message board. Was very popular up until about 3 years ago when the hobby shifted to FB and has not gone back (though full disclosure part of the reason for the exodus was that the message board started requiring membership fees that was later dropped. However the damage was already done). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hardest thing for many fans to do is to dial down their expectations. I understand getting angry when a good team is losing more games than it should. It's almost pointless to lose one's sh!t over a bad team that's doing typical bad team things...why hold them to a standard that isn't realistic? When the suckage starts though, one thing I'll do a little more of is focus on the organization itself, and how they're working through a down period. Sure, bad teams with bad players that don't have better options will continue to ice players that we can't stand watching...but is there ANY level of accountability for those players? Do guys who are clearly giving next to nothing getting benched? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
