How many folks here can say they were around for us 10 yrs ago, when we were known as Penaltybox.com?

I had to chuckle at the SHOULD BOB COLE RETIRE thread - 10 yrs ago!
 
I remember Penaltybox.com.

I used to talk with Holy_Mackinaw daily.  Anyone remember Worst.Management.Ever (Stas)?  There was Keon14 of course.

Those were good times.

Wow! Way before my time! I'll take a look though. Looks interesting.
 
Been a member of this site for nearly 15 years now.

Went and looked at the road trip board on the wayback machine. Everyone looking so young in that picture.

I remember some annoying kid named DredJaw :)
 
Thread title "Don't Forget Belak". Kind of chilling, reading it now.

Different topic: Suggested to Darryl to visit Frozen Pond regarding Bobby Orr stick pricing. 10 years later I still shop at that store and I'm good friends with Hersh, the owner.

My handle "Rob Asst Site Admin".  Well, at least I had the first 6 letters right.  :)

I was around then! I remember my member number was 99,... That's pretty sweet for a hockey site.

I can't believe how long it's been. Thanks to Rick and company who put in the time to build this community.
 
Think I found that site and was astonished at the level of discussion and maturity.  Then my system crashed, forgot the site name and never found it again... or did I?
 
I used to lurk at Penaltybox, but never really entered discussions...

Those links are sweet....I really enjoy reading about how awesome Jonas Hoglund was. ;)
 
Those really were the days. I can even remember being part of the plaidworks email list, and not finding out til years later that it and penaltybox were one in the same! Nice to see a few names on that forum page that I recall, wonder whatever happened to them!
 
I hit my 10-year anniversary at this site back in May yet it still feels like yesterday.  I stumbled across it during the New Jersey-Toronto playoff series as I used to visit the Newark discussion forums and this site was constantly mentioned.  I've been hooked ever since. :)

Dating all the way back and seeing the old forum, it conjures up names like Marshy, Tom, HockeyRulz and Shadowcaster, guys who I don't recall seeing around for years. 
 
The prospects section is hilarious. Arguing over Jeff Farkas and Bobby House. God, what a wasteland we've been for prospects.

Also: Good read on whoever said we should've drafted Vermette. That would've been a pretty good pickup as opposed to Vernarsky.

Also: Who's Paulhiggins? Sounds a lot like Nik :P
 
Unfortunately, the full memberlist isn't available. It cuts off in the middle of the B's. I certainly remember the forums and being in some of the discussions, but couldn't find my handle. I was either some incarnation of Bullfrog or SpaceboyJ. Not sure why I had that name.
