Thanks, guys! I apologize for not seeing this sooner. I've been out of pocket for the last couple of weeks due to the loss of a family member and just got back tonight -- and I have to say seeing this thread brought a smile to my face. Technically the actual 'birth' of the site is September 15th, 1996 -- right around training camp for the 1996-97 season and at that stage it didn't even have a message board. It was started on GeoCities and consisted of the cheesiest of tiled ice backgrounds, a picture of Steve Yzerman saluting the crowd from the bench after scoring his 500th career goal on Patrick Roy and a bit of text about what I was planning on doing with the site. I really wish I had some of the stuff from those first years. After a couple seasons on GeoCities the site moved to be one of a few fan sites on PuckPlace.com, then to a server that was hosted by the previous owners of HockeysFuture.com and then eventually to where it is now (and where it has remained for the bulk of those past 20 years.) I started this place as a bored 17-year old living in the sticks in SE Michigan and it has followed me to college, marriage, a career and two beautiful daughters of 9 and 10 (!). It's been crazy. Life has gotten in the way often and I haven't been able to dedicate as much time as I'd like to the site (and I'm always saying I'm going to get refocused) -- so I really, really appreciate the comments here and the help the moderation team has provided over the years. It's invaluable. Thank you!

Howard's on net 23gp 7w 9L 5ot .906sv% 2.82gaa Go Jimmy Go! LGW!

YOU'VE GOT THE TOUCH! YOU'VE GOT THE POWWWAHHHH! (no worries man. check yr PMs)

"Tested groin, was bothered" is my new favorite phrase

If you would have just given Ultra Magnus the Matrix like i originally intended, we wouldnt be in this mess now, would we? Ha ha ha

You mean the the leftberzeengers.

You and Lefty wish.

are you saying Trolland might actually know what he is doing?

Could you have imagined the grand scale of speculation if this call up was released BEFORE 3pm? HOLY CRAP!

Groin? Cmon Mrazek, I know Hasek is your hero, but you're taking it too far!

I've been trying to track down the exact date, but all I know is LGW is 20 years old this year, so it will be a 10-month long party. Thanks, Matt, for creating LetsGoWings and for all the hard work you put into it. The modern "traditional" gift for a 20th anniversary is platinum. The closest we have here to that is silver, so one lucky person is going to become a silver Booster. They will be randomly chosen. Since Gordie is the most awesome player of all time, the 9th person to PM me expressing their interest will be the one boosted. If I don't get 9, I'll eeny meeny miny mo 'cheese the ones I do receive by 9pm on March 4th, 9 days from now.

LETS GO RED WINGS! :clap: :clap:

JIMMY!!!!

I can't see the game, but the shots on goal alone tell me Jimmy is great tonight, and he has no help.

Tomayto...tomahto

nothing is true...

His point was: he hates Howard. Get it now?

So this was our only deadline move? That's fine with me.

Howard may have earned another shot with his performance against the Rangers. Besides, if he is going to be shopped over the summer they should play him while he's hot and increase his value. Though that's risky if he falls apart again.

Keep trolling Bill. At some point the mods are going to give you The Axe.

I like your GDTs.
