My thoughts on declining posts to the list:
            1)  Several sites offer comprehensive coverage of games
played--schedules--polls--etc.  There was a day when this list provided the
most immediate info on games.
            2)  A few people enjoyed complaining and dumping on people who
were trying to contribute legitimate topics for discussion.
            3) Some people made personal attacks on coaches and players and
responses often resulted in more flaming.
            4)  Some people moaned and groaned about things such as
incomplete box scores(lack of penalties), high school scores, things which
were not "pure enough" for the list.
            5)  Leading contributers either did not have the time to post or
put their energies elsewhere.
 
         I hope this list continues--its a nice link between East and West.
The nice thing about college hockey it is still a fairly small community
supported by people that love the game.
