NHL.COM closing message boards soon

[CallMeShaft]

By the way, video games are social interaction... It blows my mind there is still a stigma surrounding video games. My son plays video games at night...with his hockey team.

I gamed with guys 15-20 years ago...that I've met several times, and still talk to almost daily... Guys that wouldn't hesitate to wire me some cash if I was in a tough spot (we actually all did this for one of our buddies years ago, that was in a really bad spot). All I can say is...keep an open mind, and most things are great in moderation.

Just remember, cup winning teams bond over gaming. What would this team have done over the last decade if not for Mario Kart?

Is this now the video game thread?

 

[HeisenBaez]

First Fortnite now this? Rough day for the internet.

Have no idea what Fortnight is.

 

[Section88]

Have no idea what Fortnight is.

A videogame

 

[IU Hawks fan]

My (teenaged) kids aren’t allowed to play video games or turn on the tv. Once in a while on a weekend I’ll let them watch a half hour show on Netflix.

 

[hawksrule]

Okay.

 

[pvr]

I never even realized NHL.com had such a thing

Same here.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Have no idea what Fortnight is.

Two weeks.

This made me chuckle.

Reddit is brutal and toxic.

Edit: not a pot shot at you.

Just like this place there are toxic people on reddit but I wouldn't say the whole platform is. There are plenty of people who give good insight just like here. If you stick to the team boards or team subreddits the discussion is basically the same.

Nah reddit is far more toxic and far less informed.

Just came over here after hearing of the demise of the other board.

Welcome noobie, first thing to know is I'm the most powerful, handsome, and funny poster here. I'm more powerful than any of the mods, so make sure you only ever listen to what I have to say.

 

[Kurtosis]

Seems like this board should become a lot more active (and it seems more active now than it has been in a long time).

 

[Putt Pirate]

As an older guy, I get video game playing. But it just never interested me much. I had other things on my plate that...you know....were more fun. And hobbies that aren't game based but outdoors related. My buddies play with their kids all the time but I get the gist from the kids that the parents generally suck at it.

 

[Geoist]

The game is far from dead, unfortunately.

Epic's god-awful game store on the other hand...

 

[AmericanDream]

I was active with their comments-community before they had the site remake, but that went down the gutter along with the rest of the site after that point and some time after I moved to HFB.

...lucky us...

Welcome. Appreciate the Crow or catch these hands.

Welcome. Appreciate the Crow or catch these hands.

yes, we all love this guy too...

I went to the Blackhawks homepage and I couldn't find the link to their message board. It used to be under FANS, but it's no longer there.

Does anyone have any insight? Thanks.

 

[LordKOTL]

yup.

 

[IceNeophyte]

 

[vegarover]

yup.

Interesting, does anyone know why? I was on there at the beginning of the season and had been using that for over 12+ years. What a bummer!!!

Oh no, you're stuck with us now. What a horrible thing to have happen to you...
