what more can you say....
we have great game threads, great post game threads, we have people translating articles(and doing a great job at it), we have scouting reports on the Bulldogs, prospect reports, when the main site is up we have pre and post game reports and chats...we have great columnists and no bickering between each poster. Seriously, you go to other boards and it's just gets tiresome seeing people argue and bash each other...here, the respect for each poster is amazing
A big congrats to us.......for making this the best place for Montreal Canadiens talk.

Hey, and don't forget the laughs Marc. Dark humor swirls around here like the smell of pot at Woodstock, er maybe a bad reference(shhh) ;D. Seriously there is a very strong sense of kinship in the community, one always feels part of the team. I had recognized PTH from years ago on some of those old boards, man did he battle for the habs. Now on here we can state our thoughts without fear of posioned reprisal. A group of us had a chat the other night on Matt's chat, and it seemed so natural, easy for us to relate to each other. This is truly a unique board, and to all of you who help me through the long days using all your skills to spread the word, I thank you brothers and sisters.

Tears. many tears.......................floors flooding.........mops come out.....
There is a concept of what an ideal board should be. Must be. In my silly little opinion this is it.
Respect. Good conversation. Informative articles. Posters helping each other.
Posting Nirvana.

my one question and concen
we are bound to increase in popularity(i.e. more members)...can the board still maintain the same high quality?
Imagine having 1000 members who are able to live in peace and debate with respect and create a great community...almost freaky when you think of it

"Greed is good" - Gordon Gecko (yes, the other talking one). Did someone mention pot?

As someone who came here from elsewhere (like the rest of us i suppose) i would like to say a personal thank you to the mods and the wily vets of habsrus for building the solid foundation to what is now without question the absolute best habs board on the net. No scratch that the best board on the net period.
PTH, HabsAddict, CO, Marc, Disgruntled70shab, BadCompany, Bobs_habit, Doc_Holliday, HFTO, Habwest, Legaspesian, Pam, JV, HFLA, Seventeen, and anyone else i may have missed a heartfelt thanks goes out to you all for your presence here. It makes this place that much better.
GO HABS GO !!!!!

My back is getting sore from all the patting. Shall we switch to high fives and chest thumping. Err...you can be excused from the latter activity, Pam. I caught a comment on habfans yesterday where some guy there was applauding their board. I prefer ours. I read their's occasionally, but don't participate. To each their own. I truly enjoy the quality of the material here, and with few exceptions, opinions are not personalized. Hey, is BC in the dungeon? I got the drift he was going to be away for a while and his reaction to recent developments is missed.

HA, I think your avatar is tiring you out.
After all the mind altering aggravation, sleepless nights and souffléing my sex life that MThead caused me, I will let my little guy dance for 30 days and 30 nights. He is performing the “MThead” stomp in celebration.

I agree this is one great place. I was not an oringinal here I used to just post a couple of things here and there on the face off site. I was really getting sick of the 2 out of 3 posts only being insults at other posters till one day a guy posted about this site......BAM what a difference. A alot of knowledgable people that can debate the little things as well as the big things. I checked out fanhome and while there's some good opinions, there's a different attitude and all I can say is I feel sorry for the mod's.
Thanks for making me feel at home especially for a goalie that may or may not of taken too many shots to the bean ;D

Okay BC, come out and fight like an Odgick. Them are fighting words! Where is my archnemisis.
