Its about freaking time.
Welcome aboard. We have a great group here for the most part, hope to see you become an active member.Hey guys!
After following Thrashers for years ..(I couldn't follow the team after being relocated to Winnipeg although I must admit they have a very vocal arena and a decent team).
I have officially decided to follow the Flames.
Congrats to Mony and hopefully my move from UK to Calgary next year will be as easy as his decision to sign his new livelihood.
Lets go Flames

What UC means is for the past 2 years a group of board members have gotten together to watch the NHL entry draft together. Drinks, laughs, some spirited discussion and celebration (when we traded for Hamilton & Elliott and when Tkachuk fell to us).Hello! I am not sure what that is but I am a very active yahoo fantasy manager. 20 managers, league established from 2008 and I have been going strong every season.
What UC means is for the past 2 years a group of board members have gotten together to watch the NHL entry draft together. Drinks, laughs, some spirited discussion and celebration (when we traded for Hamilton & Elliott and when Tkachuk fell to us).
Last year (2015 Entry Draft) the group consisted of posters Johnny Hoxville, Infinity Iggy, Ace Rimmer, Unlimited Chequing, Janko Unchained, Carolina's Identity (he's a Hurricane fan in Calgary, but slips over here to post on occasion) and myself.
This year (2016 Entry Draft) everyone from the first year returned except Carolina's Identity was able to make it (he ended up working), then posters Flames Fanatic, Bounces R Way and TechronSadosa joined us. Bouma Fett helped organize everything but due to unfortunate circumstances he ended up in the hospital and couldn't make it, thankfully he seems to be doing better; except the fact he also cheers for the Penguins but I have chalked that up to some unfortunate (and completely made up) side effects.
We also do have a very active 20 team Fantasy Hockey League (also through Yahoo, but we post on here about it). We also have a less active (but also very new) fantasy baseball league. Our fantasy leagues, draft parties and in general the quality people we have as posters have helped the members of our board become quite close despite our wide range of ages and the fact we come from different walks of life; but that is the best part of sport in my opinion, when you share the same passion it can create the unlikeliest of friendships.

Hey man, welcome aboard! Always nice to see a new face; it wasn't too long ago this place was a desert and GDTs were a couple pages long
To be fair, GDT's are still fairly short, and if you took out all the pizza gifs and memes, they would be a page or two realistically
I'm positive the NHLPA will opt out of the CBA and there will be a lockout in 2020. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think I am.That will be fine, gives him insurance that first year, and by the time the CBA expires he will definitely have made more than enough money to be fine if a year is missed.
