• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

We lost a great hockey player and gentleman last week. His funeral is in Montreal right now. Just wanted to say R.I.P Jean Beliveau.

a real class act!! a man who played hockey for the love of the game, and not the money. a true gentlemen's gentleman! rip john!! :pray::pray:
 
I grew up in Montreal and was fortunate to go to games once in a while and watch "Big" Jean and the other great players of the era. He always was one of the classy players on and off the ice. I didn't appreciate just how great hockey was then.
I know it amounts to treason as a Canadian, but I've lost all interest in Hockey in the last dozen years. Too many of the players are not there for the love of the game but rather the big contracts.
R.I.P. Jean.
Sadly Gordie Howe isn't doing well either.

I still love hockey, but it was a different game back then for the reasons you mentioned! There was nothing like watching Jean, Yvon, Serge and the rest of the boys on hockey night in Canada!:thumbup::thumbup:

back in the 60's when I was in high school in northern new hampshire, I had a friend who's uncle was jc trombley. one night when we were out skating and playing hockey on the outdoor rink in town, who should get out of his car but jc himself. donned his skates and gave us a clinic. even though I had always been a bruins fan, that man really made me like the canadiens. that era of hockey players were some different than todays. what an expeience. one I will never forget!! :thumbup:
