I don’t think Mike was teeing it up for the SLH people. I certainly wasn’t. This place used to be fun and informative. It’s not so much anymore. It’s more like a Lake Erie Monsters game. I went to one once, it was less than 30 seconds before the first fight broke out. Then it got worse. Good hockey? No way of knowing.

I don’t think I’m alone. Virtually nobody who posted five and ten years ago does anymore. I hope Jim can figure out a way of getting control without taking control. It’s surely a fine line. I guess that’s why most online forums are pretty heavily moderated.

Oh well…..
