What number are we rooting for?

It didn't occur to me until now that Hammerby might not be your last name and 31 might not be your number.

Do you remember YO-EL, president of the Messier Fan Club?

Nope. Guess I shouldn't be grouped into the old guard

If you look at my join date. I came in on high times

In earlier years there was more of a mixed bag of people and at night this place would blow up with drunken postings. There were also certain elements that created a certain level of hatred in even the best people.

I know how people feel about MJL but he's always kept it clean and he survived those years. Trust me when I say he's tame in comparison to some of the people who came on here with agendas.Not only did they get themselves banned but they took other people with them.

There was also personal issues with a certain click of posters and certain refs at the time that went beyond the thread.

so dramatic sounding

I have never been banned, believe it or not.

i choose not

The Buzz was a wild place many years ago. Tim Panaccio was our main blogger before Bill came on full time (if I remember correctly...I had a lot of tabs open in those days). We posted hard and played harder. A couple people couldn't hang and had to split. That's just the way it was back then. Either you learned to hang or the Buzz consumed you.

If paired with kimmo he certainly can.

But yes I'd like to see him play well on the small ice for a longer period of time

The swedes won the championship with Gus a 3rd level pairing and tallinder a guy the devils just dumped for a mid level prospect at best. I don't know how much to put into that tourney

Yea.. that team Canada sucked. With the Staals, and Girouxs, and guys like that.

i choose not

Quite a number of my posts have been deleted over the years, but I've never been banned. I assume ob18 actually enjoys deleting them and is saving those posts in a scrap book.

I got a day because I thought a blogger was drunk posting.
- mayorofangrytown

I got 3 months because a Ref thought I was 2Real. It took me 2 weeks to get unbanned from that one.

yo-el was amazing

- youarewrong

That is definately true. But I am glad it was fixed.

A certain person can be a real irritant, but he does do it in a way that the refs cant ban him. Does he know what he does...? He almost has too... IMO he is an instagator, but guys like me used to get banned for retalliation.
- youarewrong

I've gotten a lot of PMs from refs that read "Let it go or you're going to be gone"

I glad I at least got warnings.

The final 10 games of last season (when he averaged over 23 mins of ice time) and the World Championships (led gold medal winning team in ice time, wasn't out for a single ESGA the entire 10-game tourney) have raised my hopes that he can.

Who do you think Gus pairs with?
Grossmann?

I must be losing my edge and mellowing with age!

so dramatic sounding
- Don'tForgetTocchet

You know it's true.

Don't forget it wasn't always about 22. Once upon a time it was a handsome furry friend that's still with us today.



And you and I some some others weren't the same posters we are today.

- mayorofangrytown

i'm just super glad the first time i got banned my whole account got zapped and they couldn't figure out how to bring me back, yay!

- Don'tForgetTocchet

This is actually my favorite show.

Pistachio? Main blogger? That sounds horrible!

my zap was an accident, was supposed to just be a ban but when i tried to return after my ban i was just...

gone...

so sad

and my ban was earned in another thread, not this one

This is actually my favorite show.
- feelingkettle

i love it too

I must be losing my edge and mellowing with age!
- MJL

We're all mellowing and you've still got your edge man... there are still people who want to throttle you.

There's just fewer of them.

Then panotch could get hammarby one, it'd be perfect.
