Twenty years on HFBoards

[Calderon]

A quality post right there, @Hockey Outsider, from a quality poster! I've not gotten "deep" in the history boards such as participating in the all time lists but I enjoy we have them. I've learn a lot on the past greats. I share your opinion of not thinking the NHL or the sport really needs to grow from what it is. The Big Phil controversy intrigues me, I've seen the moniker many times over the years but have no idea what happened. (Edit: Found the whole debacle and skimmed through, it was a wild ride )

I think it's been 20 years on HFB for me, too, as I lurked a while unregistered, probably recapturing my interest in the league during the lockout if not the season before, reading about the next great superstar who eventually got drafted by the Penguins and the subsequent rivalry (Crosby and Ovi) that electrified the sport for years to come. I don't post that frequently and I'll admit myself that I don't compensate it with quality. It is what it is.

Every once in a while you see a surge of new blood on the history forum and even though you tend to roll your eyes a bit on the naive seeming comparisons that've been done to death (Gretzky vs. Bossy as goal scorers etc.) I was pleasently surprised the enthusiasm wasn't just coldly nipped in the bud last time.

Here's to the next twenty years, may we still be here then to acknowledge it.

The MS Paint team logo thread from 12-15 years back is another all-timer.

You haven't heard about the additional benefits after twenty years. They really add up.

Awesome, I should start seeing the benefits anytime.

24 years and counting. January of 2001, looking for information on 2001 draft. Once a HFBer, always a HFBer.

There's a lot of people that post here and that's what makes it a discussion forum...and I know that everyone is special, but you're one of the elites that really make it tangibly better, H.O.

Glad you stayed with it all this time.

Me self celebrated 20th anniversary few months ago. I also was for a short time one from the writers about Slovak prospects. And they paid me for that!!!
