I guess this is the time for my annual rant.  It used to be we got all the
scores, and many game articles, right here on good old HOCKEY-L.  Many of
the former leaders of this list now devote their energy to USCHO.  That is
their choice of course but this list is much the poorer for it in both
information and in quality of posts.  One wonders why have a website for
college hockey if it can't accomodate the need at the time it is needed.
Naturally one wants sports information on a timely basis.
