Sometimes you just gotta trust the nachos.

maybe they should release the Kraken

Still got 40 minutes here.. they will start playing in about 35 more minutes... don't stop believing!

Abdelkader from Tatar and Myers

It was about 5 games ago. Last team to finally get one for the year.

I went and got more nachos, and a six pack.. We can do this red wings.

Never stop Believin

If the streak ending meant actually change would come, then it could potentially be a good thing. But since we know that won't be the case, missing the playoffs would be the worst thing ever. Scary, lots of time to figure it out tonight...

KILL KILL KILL!

So a mod can say there are 3 threads with complaints about Richards, we don't need another one? Better to sit for two games and be rested than be worn down for all the games

The Joe's Alive! Alive I tell ya!

hope this gives them some confidence. LGRW!!

What an odd time to say such a thing,

Sheahan against Columbus back in February.

But it's so much easier to just be angry.

The last couple years I had faith they'd pull it out and make the playoffs. This year I feel none of that.

How about you pass 97 more times?

Shoot the ******* puck Tatar

Should be between Ericsson and Marchenko.

It is. Thank you very much vladdy and Matt. And congratulations Scott. I just have a Woodford Reserve here to answer your toast, but it will do.

I'm already wearing my wings lucky hoodie

I'm even resorting to going to get some gas station nachos for this one.

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!
