Welcome.

If you don't have one, just put Panthers.

I should write a script that defaults empty fields of least favorite teams to Panthers. It's doable. S.E.R. (software-enforced rivalry)

Yeah but then you will leave out the "broke" and biggest A-hole in hockey, aka "the Turtle" Chris Neil. At least I covered my base by disliking all of the Canadian teams more.

This is the BEST hockey forum by far!! I am glad I signed up and frequent it all of the time to get the best Bolt info and discussion.

Well we know we are the best , but we usually get 3 legit signups a month, not a day (though that'd be fun).

We could stop blocking the Viagara salesmen.

Xaej! Welcome. Glad to see you here!

[Xaej]

Yeah Acehawk74, not a lot of activity on the other forums, looking for a place to talk hockey more seriously anyway. Spent the last week or so lurking since you mentioned it to me, seemed like a cool place so I joined.

Honestly, I never even knew BP had a forum. Been coming to the site for years, but never noticed that little "Forums" link lol.
