Crazy that now guys who joined around when we did have been around for as long as/longer than those guys had been when we joined.
He had a fair amount of shifts last game with Boyle and Halpern. I thought they looked decent together. Bickel, Rupp & Ferererio didn't see the ice at all after the 1st period.

Change is good.

Now all you need is True Blue and Edge and you've got yourself some more of the old guard. Of course I could be considered old guard too being on this site for ten+ years now.

SO what you are saying is that none of us have a life!

how these trades keep getting pulled off is beyond me. Mike rupp for nick palmeri alone would have been worth it.
That's a good one.
I long for the day the Rangers have another Reg Fleming. A legit but useful tough guy.

Damn if the old guard keeps posting I might start reading this site for more than 1 min a day again.

When was the "re-do" of HFBoards? I can't remember the year it was all erased and remade. Did it happen before 2002 as well? I do remember the 2002 change and all, but my memory is foggy as to if it happened prior to that as well.
Time to build lines 3 and 4 and this will help
Palmieri for Rupp is almost worth it...to get an experienced grinder w/ the versatility that POWE is a solid swap on any front. Wild weren't going to play Nick and that is a good trade for NYR. Palmieri in short bursts alongside Ilja Kovalchuk a few years ago looked like a very solid 2nd line 20 goal power forward. Right now the Wings for NYR are starting to look good.
Unfortunately the blueline and Center Ice look a bit thin on Size/ Power and Depth.
Mcd/Staal--Girardi the only true top 2 duo..Really MISSING Sauer.
Gilroy is improving but needs a solid #1/2 Left handed partner to balance him out Stralman is not the right fit for this combo. Sadly B.Skej isn't NHL bound any time soon.
My combos once Callahan and Kreider return to form-----
Nash--B.R.--Gaborik
Pyatt--Stepan--Hagelin
Miller-Boyle-Callahan---Rationale here is to let Boyle rediscover his 10 goal form and give the combined leadership of Boyle and Callahan a boost by another good young leader in Miller who is a versatile Malhotra/Dubinsky style of grinder but with more versatility to his game and less size/speed/ goals. Allows for greater development of Millers all around game by playing with 2 of the best fits for his style. Truthfully he's usually better @ C/RW but he can fit anywhere in the bottom 9 slots behind the top line.
Kreider-Powe-Palmieri--Energy, size and Grit...NYR could actually use a speedskating pivot right now as neither Boyle/Halpern/Miller really fit the role and they're missing the skill/ reach of Anisimov/Dubinsky just a little bit at Center.

"Palmieri" vs. "Palminteri," folks. Both Italian names that start with "P" but that's it...
Hey Chris Chelios and Nikos Tselios are related!
I was just trying to light up the boards with my humor.

It was in 1998.
This site was called Hockey2000 from 1996 to 1998. Up to that time, it was hosted on Geocities.
One of the Taylor brothers (who founded this site) was telling me that now that he's got a real domain, he thinks the site will really take off, and he turned out to be right. The site was supposed to be called HockeyFuture, but that domain wasn't available, so it became HockeysFuture. They also tried to create an HF magazine, but it never went anywhere. But their site design at the time was ahead of its time, which helped jump start the project.

He blocked a shot..I barely noticed him..The Powe love fest is laughable...Hows Hagelins head/back after Boulton cheap shotted him..Rupp wouldnt have prevented it but he would have made him fight...Carrying only a middle weight is gonna bite us in the ass..
